The crash of US Airways flight 1549 is a few weeks behind us, but no less bizarre. To think that a few birds can bring down an entire jet...guess we're less advanced than I thought.
After rehearsal one afternoon, I decided to walk down to the crash site.

The Art of Dance
I've grown to enjoy dance as an art, and wish I had a chance to get out and see more. Especially in New York, where there's an abundance of performance going on every single night.
Unfortunately, this is not good dance.
This is Plante Dance.

Does Food Expire?
A pressing question to be sure.
In the center of this debate: a unopened jar of Ragú over a year old. Would you still use it? In one corner, Me. Of course I'd eat use it, the seal hasn't been broken! In the other corner, resident cynic John Skidmore, who believes "Sell By" is the same as "Use By". Oh, c'mon. That's just naive logic!
My parents seem to agree...but to a much more frieghtening extent. Unless it visibly moldly or smells like decomposing skunk, keep it. "That doesn't go bad," they say. Most of the time I'd agree, but then again, who knows what might kill you.
This past weekend, I decided to force the Patches family to confront their problem in a little adventure entitled "Expedition: Kitchen". You can see for yourself what we're dealing with. But in the end, I'd probably east most of what we'd found. Don't judge!

Welcome to Boring HD
Whether destined to fail or not (aka it will), I've decided to start another blog, if only to post the most mundane of musings and videos. Emphasis on videos. This Christmas I had one item on my wish list: the Flip MinoHD. No bigger than your average cell phone and able to shoot 60 minutes of 720p HD footage, I find myself wanting to shoot anything and everything, just so I can plug the baby in and throw something online. I plan on putting the Flip to good use, shooting what some may call "long photographs". Instead of snapping pictures, I'm taking home videos. Get it? It's slightly different experience I hope to share with those who might be interested (which as you can tell from the title of the blog, I expect to be very very few people).
Here's a short I shot on the way home from Christmas with the family, to give you some idea of where I'm coming from. Enjoy, and if you're actually reading this, come back for more soon!

Love Vimeo by the way. Preferred a zillion times over Youtube.
