Flickr Video

I recall reading some rumors about a year ago that Flickr planned to add video support, so I was not one bit surprised when it finally launched this week.

I think this is a great idea! I love the idea of having my videos and photos in one place.

So, here are a couple of videos I’ve posted. They’re nothing special, but it’s nice to get them archived up somewhere.

Thunder Over Louisville 2005

I was in Louisville with my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew for Thunder Over Louisville back in 2005. We were on top of a parking garage in downtown. It offered a pretty good view of the 4th Street Bridge over the Ohio River.

Back Home Again in Indiana by the White River Jazz Band

The White River Jazz Band was performing back in 2005 for the annual Strawberry Festival in downtown Indianapolis. I filmed this on the southern steps of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument.

I went up and talked to the banjo player.

She kept asking me whether she should smile or not while I took her photo. I hope she’s still performing; it was great to see her play and capture the moment in my photo stream.

Electronic Filing Cabinet

Tonight I started an electronic filing cabinet.

I got a Canon 4400F scanner for Christmas this past year. Not only does it allow me to take high quality scans of my old photos, but I can import regular documents directly into PDF documents.

So far I have imported all of my old tax documentation (forms W-2, 1099, etc.), as well as stuff I need to make a travel insurance claim for my delayed baggage during my trip in Italy. I like the idea of not dealing with FAX machines, and just using email.

Having electronic documentations means that I can rid myself of paper copies. As long as I have a backup of my data (and I do), I don’t have to worry about losing anything. If I need paper copies, I can simply use my printer.

Easy pie!
