“Imagine a table full of edible and adorable bugs! Enjoy these delightful cakes sprinkled with powdered sugar, or have the kids (and adults!) decorate their own cakes with icing, frosting or colorful candies.

I think I’ll pass…

Doug's Winning Song
I don’t know if I posted Doug’s song before — embedded it, I mean, but here it is. (I’ve moved it to a page because it plays automatically. I hate that! Click on the link and you can see the video there.) Here’s his photo (that is part of a full page ad in American Salon magazine) and an interview on the Redken site. (0)

First 2009 Bird
A cold looking American Robin perched high in the ginkgo tree which is next to a holly tree — so probably thinking about getting a bite to eat. (2)

Understanding Flowcharts c/o xkcd
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t always understand flowcharts — I certainly cannot make them, but sometimes I get confused when reading them. Thank goodness xkcd came to the rescue. (0)

Franzen Home Movie — circa 1944

Somehow we obtained a video on a mini vhs tape of my mother-in-law’s family filmed sometime around 1944. I think Dean’s Uncle Ed sent it to us and we transferred it to the tape, but I cannot be certain.

Anyway, I finally got it on DVD and sent it to the family. I also added some music that might have been playing in the background of some of the shots. Today I uploaded it to Vimeo.

It’s over 12 minutes long, so I don’t expect people to watch it all, but it’s sort of sweet, I think.

  • I love that you did this for your family. We had a few home movies put on videotape some years ago. You’ve got me wondering where they are…
