Life In The Pacific Northwest
Amanda Palmer has written some fun songs for the instrument. This one is my current favorite (FYI, not completely safe for work).
A few days later, a friend of mine mentioned her drink of choice was tequila. That always make me think of this song:
I’ve been enjoying the video work of Tyler Tang. I met him in late 2019 (though I’m not sure he would remember me), and thought highly of him at that point. Nice to see his work is growing.
He posted this exploration of the U-District last week, and I think it’s pretty cool.
My good friend Toby Barnett, who lives up in the Lakewood area in Arlington, WA, set up his camera last week was thunderstorms came rolling in. I enjoyed watching them, so I hope you will, too.
Murder hornets?
Is this fake or not? I’m not sure anymore.
Stay safe, everyone.
Two Seattle cyclists getting, um, wild…er, mild…
Anyway, it’s kinda fun and only a few minutes long. Go, give it a watch!
I have really enjoyed the final season of Star Wars: Clone Wars. The animation is amazing, and the stories, well, for me at least, perfect. I’ve reconnected with the characters enough that it’s going to hurt when Order 66 goes down.
Last week’s episode, The Phantom Apprentice, was powerful. Part of that was bringing back Ray Park, who performed Maul in the Phantom Menance, and an exceptional martial artist. The team used motion capture to create this dynamic, engaging piece of film (can I call it film if it’s only digital?).
Below is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the episode. Well worth watching if you’re fascinated by the production of movies and tv.
I don’t have a great connection to the Golden Compass, or the His Dark Materials series, but this trailer is making me inclined to check this series out.
The good folks at Nerdist have written up a nice summary of where we are in this production, from the first movie, The Golden Compass, to this most current video series (what should we call these bingeworthy series at this point? Back in the day, they were mini-series. Now what?)
Are you looking forward to it? Do you love it enough to share? Say, sharing your HBO account credentials?
The Edmonds Police are looking for a chap who, um, disrupted things at Safeway a few days ago. Check out the video and, if you know this chap, you might pass that along to the local constabulary.
And consider subscribing to Theresa Whipple’s My Neighborhood News Network. She does great work and is an asset to our lovely community.
I’ve heard the song several times, finding it delightful. Sometimes I like to watch my music, or at least stream my music via YouTube. Yesterday this came through. For me, personally, it was awesome.
Besides the videography, the story features Nyle DiMarco, a Deaf model, activist and actor. I appreciated the incorporation of Deaf elements into a music video. As I value inclusion deeply, my delight in this grew.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
Hawaii is one of the places I could easily move to. I’ve been blessed with several trips to the islands. Most of my Hawaiian journeys have been on Oahu. Waikiki and Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, the North Shore and Hanauma Bay. I’ve also made it to Maui and the Big Island (Kona). I love these places! Especially the feeling in my soul when in contact with the land.
This YouTuber, Sam Potter, is from Hawaii. He’s creating a travel series that will be fascinating to watch: Beautiful Destinations. This is visually rich, which delights me deeply. Sam does a great job capturing the mood. I’m looking forward to the future of this show.
