Melting snow in my backyard. Arlington, VA. What a beautiful day - 50 degrees and mostly sunny. After a long wintry few weeks a day like today is a welcome relief.

DC-area resident Andy Carvin made this great little video about his recent adventure at Ikea. As always, Andy added his own interesting touches to what was probably otherwise a boring foray into practical Swedish furniture. See Andy's original posting with his notes here.

Drummers at Gallery Place

2006-10-08T10:19:00.000-06:00

I have seen this guy, in fact a few drummers like him, at the Gallery Place Metro stop. For some reason this is the corner to see drummers and there aren't any slouches in the mix. Everyone is really good, from what I have heard. I pulled this video off You Tube after being amused by several DC videos.

Jonny Goldstein Talks to Katie Couric

2006-10-06T17:13:00.000-06:00

If no image appears, click here.

DC-area resident and Internet video guru Jonny Goldstein responds to Katie Couric's new segment called Free Speech. Jonny basically asks Couric if she is listening. Despite the name of the segment, Jonny and others (including me) see this as yet another way big-name people can get their views across to us. Why not just call it This is TV Also? Basically, this is the same message made by the same people but wrapped in a different package. The name implies a more interesting theme but the segment, so far, fails to deliver.

Jonny and Steve Garfield, who has started the website Say It To Katie, both would like to see a more open forum, talking to viewers and engaging them in a dialogue, not just delivering what the network wants to feed us.

Go check out these links and form your own opinion. What do you want to see? Tell Katie Couric and the rest of the world!

Kayakers at Great Falls National Park

2006-08-30T20:04:00.000-06:00

Watch the video

Great Falls National Park is in McLean, VA and only about 30 minutes outside of DC. These falls are on the Potomac River and can also be seen from the MD side, although I have not ventured there yet. Honestly, I can't imagine a better view than what we have in McLean.

It's the darndest thing to watch the kayakers actually paddle upstream a bit then get tossed about in the rapids. some roll over, others submerge but I have yet to see an accident there. However, my uncle once found a dead kayaker there probably 25 years ago. It's quite a dangerous area, even for experienced people.
