Central America - In no particular order

March 27, 2009 By: dgb Category: Best of Raw Steel and Sex Appeal, Travel, the summer of dave 3 Comments →

This is one of two “comprehensive” projects that I’m working on to tell the story of my trip.  The other one is a more complete account of the trip and how I got to the point where I would drop everything and buy a one way ticket to Guatemala.  That one will most likely take a while.  This one is more of a fun aside where I get to show some of the lighter moments of the trip.

I shot all of this on a little point-and-shoot Olympus with a video capture feature and put the video together with Windows Movie Maker.  I’m a little pissed that I had to put in on youtube to get it to embed because the quality kind of sucks but oh well. So I wasn’t happy with the quality of the youtube video, so I used these instructions to publish a higher quality video in Windows Movie Maker and then uploaded it to Vimeo rather than youtube.  I had a lot of effects that weren’t showing up well on the youtube version (the aged film/ pixelated effects are intentional) and I must say I’m rather impressed with the difference in quality (take that mother-effing internets.  Inyaface!   Atomic elbow to the head blaDOW!).  I’ve left the youtube version up for comparison sake.  Enjoy.

There are like nine birthdays coming up in my family in the next couple of weeks.  This counts as a gift right?

A Haiku

For your reading edification, a haiku.

Haikus can make sense
But they don’t always have to
