BeerFest 2008 @ My Pad

This post includes a collection of 4 videos, that, unless you were there or know me and my friends will make absolutely no sense. So I feel I owe an explanation…

PMD Snow Trip – 2002

Another video I wanted to archive on my blog…

This is one of the first videos I created using Final Cut Pro (“Pro” being an element of the software’s title and by NO MEANS a description of the user). It’s a fun video, and it’s always great to look back at old home movies.

This wasn’t nearly as cool as the video produced by Anton two years later, that I posted earlier

Note to self: I need to get Angelo’s 2005 snow trip video. Hook it up Gelo!

Sometimes you live in an area practically your whole life and you realize that there are places and things that you have never scene. Big Basin in the Santa Cruz mountains was just that for me.

Malaya and I took a lazy sunday afternoon and drove about 30 minutes from my place deep into the Mountains just west of San Jose into Big Basin. I’ve seen Redwoods before, but I can’t get sick of them. Plus it’s great to know that places like Big Basin are so easily accessible for a casual last minute retreat for a few hours.

On our little hike we came across two labeled trees. The first one: Father of the Forest. I chuckled at myself when i first saw it because, dude, it looks like it has a penis, check it out for yourself: Read more
