I’ve Been Away

tim — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:33:36 +0000

Yes indeed, been awhile. I’m back now though, if only for this short video entry. In this episode, I try to mix some of the imagery from the recent Pride event in Spokane, WA, with my usual babbling about what I thought about the whole thing. Being my first Pride, I wasn’t quite sure how to act. Anyway, see for yourself.

CORRECTION: I’m an idiot — I mentioned in this video that Palouse Pride, in Moscow, ID, is on August 11th. THAT IS WRONG. It’s actually on Saturday, August 2nd. For more info on the upcoming Palouse Pride festivities, go to their myspace page. Sorry about the mixup. I’m old.

Video Journal 25

tim — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:39:52 +0000

I made this video entry a week ago Sunday (March 16th), but due to some unforeseen glitches, as in a small mental breakdown that led to a complete wipe and reinstall of my operating system, I’m just today getting it uploaded. Like you really care… Anyway, here it is. More boring news and video reviews from the last month or so. I’m not posting any links to anything, ‘cuz it’s all old news now.

Two Months Later…

tim — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 05:26:58 +0000

If it’s really true that you “learn from your mistakes”, then this video would qualify me as a fucking genius. This vlog contains a MAJOR plethora of mistakes, not the least of which is that I thought chroma-keying was easy to do. Anywho, as usual, no pertinent content in this 24th installment of the every-other-month edition of my ever-so-compelling video blog. There’s a shocker. Especially when you consider I’ve been futzing with this damn thing since a week ago Sunday. Almost 2 weeks later, I decided to just put it up and strive to do better on the next one. Sometime in May, probably…

I’ll shorten your boredom and just list the links I mentioned below.

New Year, Same Old Schtick

tim — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 03:49:53 +0000

First off, Happy New Year to everyone. Or at least to the two people that watch this train wreck. I’m not complaining, I’d rather have two viewers than none. And besides, having zero viewers usually means you won’t have any rude comments or complaints. So hell, it’s all good. This vidjo is just a test of some ideas I was having for working with Final Cut Express, but I never really figured out an efficient workflow to make it work like I wanted. So, this will most likely be the last one of this kind that I do. Or not. Who knows. And BTW, it’s definitely NSFW (like it ever is?).

It’s Getting Closer

tim — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 03:17:46 +0000

I ordered my new 16GB iPod Touch on the 28th of September, and finally, FINALLY, it looks like it’s actually going to be delivered! Wednesday, October 17th, if FedEx has their shit together. I was getting pretty tired of the “not yet shipped” message on the “check your order status” page after seeing it every day for the last three weeks. But now, all is forgiven. Thank you Apple Store. Next weekend, if anybody’s looking for me, you’ll probably find me “posing” in the closest wifi-enabled coffee shop with my new Touch. Lollerz — I just pooped a little in my pants…

Video Journal Entry #22

tim — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 13:45:54 +0000

Just a quick vid-jo urinal here, originally taped Sunday, October 6th. Still trying to figure out my new camcorder. As I said in the last post, it doesn’t perform too well in low light situations, so I took the lampshades off all the lights in my office/bedroom/lounge and STILL ended up with some pretty grainy footage. But really, it’s all about the content, isn’t it? Yeah, sure.

In this video, I talked about a new toy I’m waiting for, the Microsoft Zune 2, and the upcoming release of Leopard from Apple. For once, I restrained myself with the fat chicks and fart noises, too. I miss them. Makes for an abnormally boring post.

The Drive Home: My Version

tim — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 03:45:29 +0000

Inspired by Andy Melton’s beautiful video, “The Drive Home”, I decided to put this little piece of my daily commute up for the world to see. I set my cheap little Canon Z800 in “night mode”, and hand-held it for the last half of the climb up the Winchester Grade and part of the jaunt across the Prairie, roughly the last 15 miles of my daily drive from Lewiston back to Craigmont. The Canon doesn’t do low-light very well, but considering it was almost pitch dark, I guess it’s livable. Note the nice full moon through the plethora of bug guts on the windshield. This is film festival footage at its finest. NOT…

Belated Labor Day Vidcast

tim — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 01:54:44 +0000

Sorry. I was so proud of myself when I actually got off my ass and recorded this video entry a couple weeks ago. On Labor Day, actually. Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to editing it until this weekend. I guess that’s how I roll these days. So any “news” that’s in it is, well, it’s a little on the stale side. My deepest apologies (to my three viewers).

Also, and I’m not apologizing for this, but you’re seeing the real Tim Reid here — complete with un-dyed white hair and white chin pubes, both in need of a some trimming, I night add. My crotch pubes could use a trim, too, but since I’m the only one who ever sees them, well, whatever. So yeah, kinda got that old North Idaho Hippie thing goin’ on here.

No apologies for anything else though. Well, except maybe for the annoying lens flare going on in the middle of my face. Jeebus, what else could go wrong? Anyway, hope I don’t scare you too bad. It’s hell getting old…

Future’s So Bright…

tim — Thu, 31 May 2007 04:28:32 +0000

…I gotta wear shades — remember that song from the eighties? Corey Hart was the singer, I think. It doesn’t really matter. It sucked then, it sucks now. I think I even had it on an 8=track tape, not sure… ANYWAY, I thought I’d put up this little video as more of a personal entry than anything ground breaking or educational. Got me some stuff going on at work that I needed to get out, I guess. It’s only about five minutes long, but packed full of sex and laughs.

Not really.
Thanks for downloading.

I Be Fitty Biatches!

tim — Sun, 27 May 2007 12:54:37 +0000

It’s that time of they year again, when my birthday rolls around. I hate birthdays, but this one is an especially nasty one. You’ll understand after you watch this video. Feel free to send your sympathy, your uplifting thoughts, or money. Yeah, send money — that always makes me feel better on my birthday.

Also, I’d like to express my sincere apologies (again) for being such a lazy videoblogger. Once a month is about all I can manage right now. Hopefully, things will get better soon and I’ll be able to knock out a few more in a little more timely fashion. Maybe even with some compelling content, but I’m not making any promises.

Thanks for downloading.
