This is my cat, Kahn. Very unique guy. You can read more about him at KahnTheCat.com and see more of his videos there (the movie trailers he made are particularly entertaining). Anyway, Kahn is currently being tested for a rare cat disease called Portosystemic Shunt. The results should be known by Wednesday. The video below is of Kahn getting his head stuck in a tissue box (he loves boxes). Those of you with allergies in the Pacific Northwest will recognize the Fred Meyer Nice ‘n Soft brand. :-) I used Final Cut Pro X (Mac) to do the editing:

Ladies and gentlemen. It is now official CARmageddon has arrived. This Los Angeles News breaking report outlines what the arrival of CARmageddon means for the city of Los Angeles. I made this video (and voiced it with lots of tweaks) in the last seven hours. I hope this entertaining two minutes is worth the effort for you. Enjoy!

CARmageddon is Here

P.S. I did this video as a testament to how much the media over-sensationalizes certain stories that don’t need so much coverage. This was definitely one of those times! ABC News is even doing live coverage with a continuous live feed on its site from helicopters flying around showing detours. I kid you not! At least a lot of people are having fun with it on YouTube.

In August 2010 I was given a rare opportunity to ride in a zeppelin. Now zeppelin’s are a lot like blimps, but there is a difference.  Zeppelins have a rigid metal frame which aids in maneuverability, bad weather, and safety. A blimp doesn’t have a frame. It is just a large shaped “balloon”.

My zeppelin ride took place in Salem, which is the capital of Oregon. I arrived at the airport, went through training and safety procedures, then was driven to the middle of the airport runway strip, where the zeppelin was waiting. Those of us on the zeppelin were told that fewer than 10,000 people in the world have ever ridden in a zeppelin. Oh, and the zeppelin had a toilet in it -- it was called “the loo with a view” as there’s a window you can look out while doing your business.

It was quite the adventure that I had the privilege of catching on video in order to share with you. Below is that video:
