Cool Golden Compass web site; meet my daemon

This seems about right to me, though I don’t know about the humble part. I like whippets.

I’m slowly but surly reading The Golden Compass right now, the book that is the basis of the movie site linked above, and the site that is the basis of this blog-like space. This sort of fantasy is not usually my reading cup of tea, but it is extremely well-written and interesting. I just hope they don’t screw it up in the movie too badly.

The Ypsilanti July 4 Parade: The Movie

Here’s a video version of how the Ypsi July 4 parade went this year. A good time was had by one and all, though this wasn’t actually the best of Ypsi parades, as Annette’s “eh, it was all right” reaction at the end might suggest. Anyway, enjoy the movie, shot entirely with my Flip Video camera, edited with iMovie on the Mac and with a march from an album I copied from the Ypsi public library called “Hail, Sousa!”
