Had a restful fun day with the family. Great 14 mile run across the East Bay hills, and ended the day at a BBQ with some friends. Sometimes we make things too complicated. Life is good.

Lumiere video – Chicago: July 2007
In homage to the Lumiere Brothers who were some of the earliest filmmakers, Andreas from solitude.dk made a call for submissions to the videoblogging community to replicate the conditions in which they filmed. Notably: less than one minute (most were about 45 seconds long); fixed camera; no zoom; no sound; no editing; and no effects.
Here a my Lumiere video, recorded in Chicago July 29, 2007
Breaking Down Walls
Millions of Us has been growing very fast. Yes, we’ve got growing pains, but this also means we get to break through some walls!
Network Delay
Here at Millions of Us we are under constant deadline and relentless pressure! However we always have time for a little antics. Today we time travel with Lauren Lamonica in “Network Delay”. – update: I was asked to make this video private. Perhaps a little too goofy for public consumption. Apologies all around.
Berkeley "Triathlon"
It has been a gorgeous weekend. The boys and I thought we’d dig into a little exercise and create our own “triathlon”. Bike to the pool, swim for a bit, hit the track, then ride off for a smoothie, then cruise home. What a blast! A few pics are up on Flickr too.
Sunset Summer Run
This is a pretty standard run for me on the weekends. Waterfront to the UC Berkeley campus, then Northside to the top of Solano. It’s about 10 miles, but I’m not very fast and it takes me about 1:35-1:40 to complete. Hope you enjoy the journey!
McArthur-Burney Falls
Northeast of Redding, California in the Cascade Range you will find this hidden gem. McArthur-Burney Falls moves a prodigious 100 million gallons of water a day – every day! The water is a cool 45-49 degrees.
Before we arrived here at the falls, we spent the night in McCloud at a quaint Victorian B&B called Stoney Brook. You can see additional pictures on flickr
We did not stay at the campground, but last month they just opened 12 small one room cabins that can be reserved for $65/night. Apparently reservations are sold out for 6-7 months in advance.Â
Sausalito Lunch Walk #1
Not sure if this will be regular or not, but what the heck. Here is Lunch Walk #1. Random thoughts in between the the high velocity world of social media that is Millions of Us!
SF Edit
After a long day at the beach with the family I logged in to see my twitter filling up with comments coming from the Hat Factory. A bunch of video geeks were editing and hanging out at an event they were calling SF Edit.
Nathan Freitas was in from NY, and even Sarah Meyers had a stream coming in via Justin.tv – I had to go check it out. Despite my battery wimping out on me at the beach, I did have a few shots of the boys sandboarding (see last post) and wanted to get that up.
After a great Thai dinner and shower I popped on over and had a great time breaking through the 4th wall!Â
End of a busy Monday @ Millions of Us
After another trailblazing day, I bring you a rare moment of tranquility here @ the Sausalito offices of Millions of Us. Today was a special day too!
