Daily Video #11 - Cheap Gas!!!

To the best of my recollection, this is the lowest price for gas locally since I moved here 4 years ago.

Daily Video #9 - All I Wanted Was the Hard Drive

Don't ever think you'll open up an iBook to pull out the hard drive and then put it back together. What an adventure! Thank goodness for the interwebs. I'd have never figured this out on my own. I thought it was just going to be "pop off the enclosure, pull out the HD, put it back together". Oh, no! This monkey is not going to be reassembled, at least not by this guy.

You'll find it on eBay being sold for parts. However, I did get a nice little USB external hard drive as originally planned. It was a learning experience.

Daily Video #8 - Nothing Like a Tightly Run Operation

This sign is in a sandwich shop/convenience store in Bellwood, PA. It's funny, but some businesses (not this one) are run this way.

You'll have to use Pause to read it all.

Daily Video #7 - BK Freezy

Waiting at the BK drive thru in freezing rain ...

This is my first video embed from a site I just discovered, MotionBox.

Daily Video #4 - Less than Two Bucks

This is a very short clip celebrating the price of gasoline dipping below $2 a gallon for the first time since who knows when!

This is at the GetGo in Logantowne Centre, Altoona, PA

Daily Video #3 - Muddy Waters

This is the third in a series of quick daily videos. My plan is to do a video each day for 15 days to help develop more of a "shoot anything" mindset.

This is a muddy flood behind my building, apparently from a water main break.

Pay It Backwards?

Driving home this afternoon, I heard a genuinely nice story on CNN Headline News. It seems that at a certain Colorado Starbucks, people are paying for the next person in line behind them. At a local grocery store, a man paid $20 toward the next person's bill.

This is beautiful! Maybe we're giving up on greed and selfishness. Could this be the dawn of a new era of community spirit, shared responsibility, and mutual respect in America? Wouldn't that be something!

I can't wait to do this myself. Who knows, maybe it'll catch on.

Good Morning Central Pennsylvania

In my tightly budgeted morning routine, I left no time for this frosty surprise ...

Great Interception by Steeler Troy Polamalu

Pittsburgh Steeler star Troy Polamalu makes one of the most amazing interceptions I've ever seen ...

Who'll Start the Rain?

I captured this short video this afternoon at the Bellwood Reservoir which is part of the Altoona City Authority water system. For the past 5 years, I have driven past this reservoir several times a week. I have never seen it as low as this. We really need to get some rain into here before it turns into real winter.
