Welcome to a new
idea... putting videos on the website. This started out
as a temporary page on my site to push videos to my family -
which were often too large to email ... the page got larger and larger, and
then I decided to just make a Section out of it.
Most of these
aren't real noteworthy... just a short clip to show
something I've been up to...

Right-click, and pick "Save As", then
save it to a location on your
local computer.
Once saved locally, you can watch the file from there...
You CAN just run it directly, but it'll work better if you
save it locally first.
I'll add more as I find them... some of
my files are somewhat more disorganized than others.

Sea Lions at Fisherman's Warf
(mpg, ~1.7mb)
During a trip to San Francisco for a Developer's
Conference, I stopped by the Fisherman's Warf, and took
these clips of the sea lions there with my camera
Trolley
getting turned around
(wmv, ~1 mb)
Still at San Francisco, I watched a trolley get
turned around and put back on the tracks heading uphill.
A few scenes
from the conference
(wmv, ~1 mb)
Here's a couple of scenes from the conference... The
guy with the grey hair is the person who's credited with
REALLY inventing the Internet. The guy talking is
talking about an apparent bug in .Net, where Microsoft
has changed the functionality of the INT function.
Golden Gate
Bridge
(wmv, ~1 mb)
Here's a couple of picture and a clip of the Golden
Gate Bridge, as seen from the Presidio.

Along WA-7
(wmv, ~1 mb)
Driving down to Oregon along WA-7, a State route that's
NOT the Interstate, I noticed some trees with mist
rising out of them, and stopped to take a gander at
them.

Opening Day
(wmv, ~5 mb)
Opening day is just special... especially when it kicks
off a season that had 116 wins!
A-Rod returns (wmv,
~1.5 mb)
Alex Rodriquez left he Mariners. Not a big deal in
the grand scheme of things, but he was offered 145
million to stay with the Mariners, and he turned it
town, saying "its not about the money"... only he took a
200+ million deal from Texas. When they came to
town, he got SOUNDLY boo'd. People even threw
Monopoly money... it was pretty cool.
Kaz!!!
(wmv, ~5 mb)
The Mariners closer sure made a name for himself... 45
saves by the time the season was done!
Closing the roof
(mpg, ~5 mb)
Not the most exciting video, but here's a shot of the
final moments of the roof closing at Safeco Field.
Falls along the highway (mpg, ~5 mb)
During a drive along US2, I stopped and got some
pictures and a bit of video of a waterfall alongside the
scenic byway... they're more rapids than falls, but they
still look nice, I think anyway.
US2 Fish Hatchery
(mpg, ~5 mb)
I like to stop and check things out that most folks
would just drive by without noticing... the fish
hatchery along US2 is one of them... during one stop, a
worker there was feeding the fish. Interesting
stuff!

North Cascades National Park
(wmv, ~1.5 mb)
Here's a clip of a waterfall on the side of the road at
North Cascades National Park.. pretty impressive!

Mt St Helens
(wmv, ~1 mb)
A friend of mine had never been to Mt St Helens -- and
he's from Washington! So, we took a drive one
Saturday, and made a day of it.

Goodbye, Cal!

Cal Ripken, Baseball's Iron Man, retired, and this was
his last game at Safeco Field.

Rainier, Adams,
St Helens, Hood, Shasta
(wmv)
While on a flight heading down to California, I
managed to see a the "big" mountains in the area.
Alcatraz
(wmv)
During a
trip to San Francisco for my second Developer's
Conference, I stayed an extra day, and went to Alcatraz.
Bale Grist Mill
(wmv)
I can
pretty much be assured that this is a part of Napa
Valley that you haven't heard about much... a Bale Grist
Mill. During its heyday, it provided flour to the
region. Today, it's being preserved, and is still
used to make flour, but only for specialty/tourist
purposes. It was a pretty interesting tour,
though.
March 2002
Snow in the lowlands
(wmv)
It doesn't snow much here down near sea level, so on the
way home from a movie, my friend Rob broke out the
camera for pictures, only he took some video instead...
April 2002
Curling
(wmv)
As part of a team building project, we went curling...
its even funner than it looks!
August 2002
Space Needle
(wmv)
I went to the Space Needle for some pictures of the Tall
Ship parade on Lake Union, and only filmed clips going
up and coming down... so I did a slide show of sorts,
and put it to some "American" music. =]

End of the Salmon Run
(wmv, ~6mb)
Les, a friend of mine, and I went for a ride up to Rainy
Pass to settle a bet on whether it was snowing (I lost,
but that's ok)... Along the way, we stopped to see the
tail end of the salmon run, hoping to catch some salmon
making their way up the river. The run was a bit
lame, but it was a nice drive, anyway -- and we saw a
few salmon swimming... so it wasn't a total loss
For some reason, I don't
have any for quite a stretch of time... maybe they got
deleted, or they're just 'hiding' on my computer some place.

Some Fenway Memories
(wmv, ~10mb)
On a trip to introduce The Shadow Lady to my family, we
stopped by Fenway Park... what an AMAZING place!

Promise Keepers
(wmv, ~1mb)
I went to promise keepers, and I took a few pictures,
and a short clip.
Check back from time to time... I'm
finding more videos all the time.
