Whooping Llama

Here’s a video I made of a burn-out contest Dad and I took part in a couple months ago. Our car is the S-10 Blazer at the end. Didn’t win a thing, either.

I saw Ray Price, Merle Haggard, and Willie Nelson in Huntington last night and I’m bringing some of the experience to your interwebs. I was too enamored with the Hag to shoot anything while he was onstage, but I’ve got some stuff by Mr. Crazy Arms, Ray Price. The dude’s still getting down, even at 81…check it out.

Here’s his encore, the Hank Williams tune “A Mansion on the Hill”:

And here’s “Release Me (And Let Me Love Again)”…pay attention, he gets a very special guest towards the end!

P.S. Sorry about the quality, I shot this stuff on my Kodak Z710 and the stage lights were messin’ with it somethin’ awful. I would have used my brand new Canon GL-2, but I don’t think security would have appreciated that.

I bootlegged this puppy last night at the Paramount Arts Center in Ashland, KY. I apologize for the shakiness and bad framing, but I shot this with a digital camera while trying to avoid the backs of heads and power-crazed ushers. Audio’s fairly good though. Full review coming soon (hopefully).

I recently discovered podcasts and vidcasts. I’d used them before (I subscribed to Apple’s New Music Tuesday when iTunes first added the podcast feature), but not with any regularity or much interest. About a week or so ago, however, I came across DL.TV.

DL.TV is a video podcast run by executive producer Patrick Norton (an ex-Screensaver) and is a total throwback to the days of TechTV. This throwback is complete when you couple DL.TV with This Week In Tech, a fantastic podcast produced by Patrick’s Screen Savers co-host Leo Laporte.

Other TechTV alum have vidcasts as well: Kevin Rose has Diggnation and The Broken, Martin Sargent has The Web Drifter and Infected, Megan Morrone and Leo team up for Jumping Monkeys, Chris Pirillo has cleverly-named Chris Pirillo Show.

I’ve been out of the geek fold for quite a while now (since my junior year in high school when TechTV went under) but I think I’m being pulled back in! I’d forgotten how interesting this stuff was.
