I went into Portland this weekend just to stretch my legs and try out a ‘test’ video for YouTube. My goals were simple really– Shoot a film with my Cannon SX10 IS Point and Shoot Camera, Edit it in Linux (using Kdenlive), and then upload it..
This post I should have posted sooner I know, but I knew it would be posted someday– And here it is! Yea!
My big hang up from posting this was due to the fact that I wasn’t sure how much to post. Luckily a former professor of mine asked me to tell him, in detail, what it was like…
So for his benefit, and for the benefit of my readers, I wrote a lengthy email— which I’m going to relay here for anyone who wanted a ‘play by play’ of the event with what they and I said (roughly):

It’s not too late to with everyone a happy 2009 yet is it?
Happy New Years everyone!
You may have noticed that with the new year came a new design. I’ve worked to redesign the site back into a more “blog” format. Previous I wanted a “website” but the features of that system (drupal) I just never came around to use. So I’m back with word press for awhile until I find something cooler.
To start off the new year I wanted to start with some books I plan on reading this year. All are Asian specific with 3 being Japan specific. I’ve sampled these books and have had them on my list for while, but never got around to reading them or buying them. However on a trip topowell’s book in Portland.. I made an effort, as a gesture to the new years, to pick them up and read them when I can.
