scared of the cla

I decided to edit some video footage I took the other day and decided to make a short film of the horror type. It is a really short film, with no real plot, yet I’ll hopefully be making films with plots soon.

As for the technical details, it was recorded on my digital camera, and made with Premiere and After Effects. Right now it is Quicktime format. Let me know if you need another type if you can’t play it.

Watch Scared of the CLA.mov Comments are appreciated.

blue screen of death

I love errors, not really though. Last night I had some troubles with an extra hard drive of mine, thus cause the computer to flip out until I fixed it. I love BLUE SCREENS OF DEATH.

By the way, I started a Flickr group by the title of ERROR. You can find and join it at flickr.com/groups/error/ If you arn’t on flickr yet, it’s free and fun. enjoy.

My new record player

I bought a (new to me) record player today at a thrift store down the way. It’s a JVC auto return turntable system. It’s awesome compared to my old one. It sound super good, and it’s like newer so the ground is internal. I am very much pleased that is was also $21.99 which is a pretty decent price for this phono player. I have now stepped up in my entertainment universe. Soon I will get some new better speakers, and who knows what else. Any ideas anyone?

Hey look! I made video of my new record player. Click on either one below. (They are the same)

Some of you may know… most would not know that I have no job. The thing is, I would really really really like to have a job. Specifically doing something that I love to do. That would be web design and development. I can take on small to medium sized projects, create full static or dynamic websites, create graphics for that website… and do pretty much whatever else you might need me to do. If anybody has an open position, or project they would like for me to do as a job, please contact me.

You can view my portfolio online at www.constructds.com Please take a moment and help me find a job, that would be awesome.

One last note, if you want a 1991 BMW 318i, I have one for sale for $3200. I really really really want to sell that too. If you by chance know of a job in Pomona, CA that doesn’t have to be web-design related, let me know too. Thanks!

the arcade fire

I saw The Arcade Fire last night at the Troubadour in Hollywood and it was one of the best shows I have seen. Amazing.

There is actually a funny story to be told here. See how that guy is bashing the scaffolding. Well this other guy here was tripping out, and picked up a high hat (thanks lauren for correcting me) stand and was hitting the scaffold with it. Then the mic stand broke, hit this dudes head in front of us, then hit laurns face and mainly shoulder who was standing right next to me. It was crazy. I picked it up, and handed it back to the guy on stage. All during the song. Thinking about it later, I should have kept it for memory sake because Lauren’s shoulder was hurting her pretty bad. The guy came down off of stage and hugged the dude who got hit in the head (he was okay) and went back up on stage. Then he stumbled up stairs, came back down with a scarf thing on his head and tripped and fell. He was laying on the stage for a few minutes just hitting the ground. When he finally got up, he went over to another guy in the band, took off his glasses, and put them on himself. He then was draping the scarf clothe thing over the guys face as he started to lay down on the stage, while still playing. This was all during the course of a song. Pretty intense. That’s what I would say about that concert, intense and amazing.

By the way, you can view some photos over at the usual place, or just click the above image or here to go to the gallery. I must say that I only took like a photo or two with Angelas camera. She took most of them. Enjoy.

clouds over calpoly

I love clouds because every single one is unique. They are much like people in a way. They may fit into some generalized category yet they are all different unique and beautiful.
