My crazy uncle on Black Friday (Best Buy)

Quicktime IPOD
A few days ago my crazy Uncle was asking me all these questions about a new computer and etc. Although I haven’t gotten my Macbook yet. I told him his best price from a Best Buy article. Well he then waited in line from 5pm to 5am when the stores open just to save $400 on a computer. I went out the Best Buy early this morning to see him and maybe allow him to go to the bathroom. Here it is(he was 2nd in line):

I didn’t win on Cnet.com

I tried a video contest with cnet.com to win a trip to CES 2007 in Las Vegas :(

Oh well my video wasn’t that great anyway because I didn’t know my camera that well at that time.. Hopefully I will probably go.. We will see.

I just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY Thanksgiving!!

It’s my birthday!


Quicktime IPOD Cellphone

Well today is my birthday and I think it would be appropriate to show a birthday video.

My childhood friend (Carrie) invited me last weekend (Nov 18) to go play paintball!! My buddy Kerch also drove up to hang out and to get shot by me.

It was freakn’ cold outside. So we had to get all bundled up to shoot paintballs at our faces. So it was kind of muddy out. Therefore pants got all muddy and I didn’t want to bring it into Carries’ (Cars) apartment, so I left my pants in the car and walked in my long johns. The long johns aren’t actually mine. They are my dad’s when he used them when he got into the army in 1962. So these things are 44 yrs old and working fine. So you will see my awesome white long johns in this video while Carrie gave my cake and subscription to Men’s Health magazine.

So enjoyed the birthday singing by Kerch and Carrie (mainly Carrie). Then watch her dog, Moby, help me blow the candles out. But I forgot to make a wish so I had to blow another candle out again.

Here is the flickr slide show of the paint ball trip. If you want to save these pictures. Just click here, then go to the picture you want, click it, next right click & “save as” to the location on your computer.

I was on Buzz out LOUD!!! YES!! (cnet.com)

On 11/16/06 I was on the Buzz out loud show on cnet.com. Buzz out Loud is a podcast that gives listeners all the current Techie news. It is hosted by Tom Merritt, Molly Wood, and Veronica Belmont. Tom Merritt is U of Illinois Alum (Journalism Major 1992).

All 3 of them are very active on cnet.com. You can see all of them on some of cnet’s videos as well. Molly usually does Buzz report, Tom does the real deal column, and Veronica is on Crave, Insider Secrets, & this comparison show (I forgot the name) and Warcraft beta tester.. May I add she is a very proud Warcraft player, but she did mention she is going to try to get into Halo 3.. YES!!! Since she may get into Halo, maybe I should check out Warcraft? Yes?? What do you think?

Ok so. If you download this mp3 from cnet.com (right-click save) or visit Buzz loud 11/16/06 - “12 million iPhones can’t be a lie. Around 18 mins and 30 secs, after the vicious laugh from Veronica, you can listen to my little insight (no pun intended) and their comments.

Plus you can hear TOM saying “Go illini, ILL!!” in the background.. I hear yea Tom. INI!!

Speaking on University of Illinois Today I won 2 tickets to men’s basketball game vs. Georgia State. I won them through work!! WOo HOO! So I’m going to take my dad.. Maybe some pictures & video to come..

Ohio State Vs. Illinois

Here is 3 uncut, unedited, and directly upload files of the HD format of my Sanyo Xacti HD1. I took these at the Ohio State vs Illinois Football game. I went to the game with my dad and my good friend Piet (The guy in past videos that got punched in the eye while in San Antonio).

If you really want to see the files in the HD format. Just Right click the Quicktime link under the video and save as to your desktop. It will take a while to upload because they are uncompressed (AKA. huge files). Plus the videos will have a huge screen too, like 1280x 720, which means that the video it probably bigger than your computer screen.


Quicktime mp4

Here is a video of J Leman #47 (Linebacker) during the Ohio State vs. Illinois football game. This video wasn’t one of his 19 tackles of the day, but it was close. J Leman used to come by the house every Thursday night to pray with my mom before the game. Even though my mom just passed away she is still looking over him and praying for him. I know J from his brother JD. I played football in high school with JD.

This is footage of the Block I group during the Ohio State vs. Illinois football game. The Block I always does cool dances and etc during the game. Plus I zoomed in all the way to see how my HD would look in during the huddle.
