US Air Force Thunderbirds Perform at Chicago Air & Water Show 2011
From my rooftop in West Lakeview, some highlights from today.
Watch on YouTube in HD.
For anyone out there wondering whether I was going to attend or post from Disney's D23 Expo this year, the answer is: No, I decided not to attend.

A Nighttime Ride in Chicago - August 13, 2011
Watch the video on YouTube.
August 13, 2011. A nighttime ride in Chicago from Damen and Clybourn, to Downtown. The video is at 3000% of actual speed (with wait times at red lights further trimmed).
Further experimenting with a technique for mounting the ATC2K camera to the passenger-side headrest.

Is this Jim Korkis?
I've digitized more of my video from my trip to The Disney Institute at Walt Disney World in November 1996.
I think our guide for the Disney Architecture class was none other than Disney historian Jim Korkis. This is a freeze frame in front of the Team Disney Building.

Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii - 1998
Finally edited my Hi8 Video from March 23-27, 1998.
Primarily a business trip, but I took my camcorder along.
Watch on YouTube.
Highlights: Diamond Head viewed from the airport, my hotel, Waikiki Beach and the air. Waikiki Beach sunset, surfers and a bit of the Royal Hawaiian and Sheraton Waikiki (where the Brady Bunch stayed on their show and where I stayed in 1978). Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial. The King Kamehameha statue and the gates of the Iolani Palace.

As Seen on The Weather Channel & Weather.com
I was interviewed for a couple of minutes this morning on The Weather Channel.
I shot the video below and posted it to YouTube and they contacted me for permission to air and interview me.
Of course, during most of my brief interview, they aired the wrong video...
...but at least they spelled my name right!
