I believe you need a smidgen of goofiness with your design to really make what you learn stick.

The Mini Super Fan in Moving Pictures

As my faithful blog readers might recall, my boy has had a gig with the Saint Paul Saints Baseball Team for a few years now, the gig of Mini Super Fan. It has been amply documented here and here and here.

But if a picture paints 1,000 words, video at least makes for less to read. Enjoy this wee snippet from Super and Mini Fan.

They can't really do the accents, but still…

I know this is a stupid video, but it made me leak tears from my eyes from its unique stupidity. (Thank you, Mr. Bubby.)

From the vault, for a limited time

In January 2008, as many of you will recall, some rather sensitive information regarding scrapbooking was leaked into the Internet via this video.

I was going through some old iMovie video files over the weekend, and found a very short follow-up to that piece, recorded roughly a month later, that has been under a gag order of sorts. Until now. I think it explains a lot about the past year, and my seemingly flagrant lack of concrete scrap goodness here on my blog.

I'm not sure how long They will let it remain online. FYI.

You…you are AWESOME!

There's nothing sweeter than a short, independent film with heart. Thanks, Suzelle, for sending this clip to me. (It's 16 minutes, but I promise you, it's worth it.)

Also, I was honored to be asked to write a short column over at Today's Mama about the best gift I ever got. It's a bit sentimental, but I meant every word.

Thanks, Christine, for the link!

More photo montages with music designed to gently tug at the heartstrings of all self-respecting scrapbookers

I can't remember what event I made this for—a CKU? a CKC? My trip to teach in New Zealand and Australia?—but I've been doing some computer content organizing, and came across this, and thought: I will place it on my blog, because that is what I do. It's at least two years old, and some photos are even older, goin' all the way back to '03, boyeee. Enough of my yakkin'. (And of course, no video would be complete without the vocal stylings of Mr. Neil Finn. Thank you, Mr. Finn.)

P.S. I think this was for my trip to New Zealand and Australia. And for the record, i have no idea why the last shot of me in the slide show would appear to be one taken in my underwear. Go figure. The light was just really good that day.

No crabs!

repaired laptops, common margins, missing pants and mystery box giveaways. Smells like SuperBlog Friday Super Finale.

You will find the last challenge here.

Thanks for hanging with me this week, y'all.

Emergency trip to Apple Genius Bar on tap. I plan to change out of these old clothes and wear something WAY more low cut. The Superblog is BACK!

Vist the Studio , y'all.
