D-Day ceremony/veteran video

7 Jun 2009 In: IRL

My sister and her kids - and my grandfather - were filmed for a news segment in Normandy, where they were for the 65th anniversary of D-Day! My grandfather was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne and jumped from a plane into France on that historic day.

On June 6, 1944, American paratrooper Chet Graham parachuted over the French town of Saint-Mére-Eglise as some 156,000 American and Allied soldiers invaded northern France in a bid to liberate France from German occupation. Seventy soldiers of his company of 150 died in the attack. Chet, now 91, has returned to Normandy regularly for more than 30 years and says when he dies, he wishes to be buried here. On the 65th anniversary of D-Day, Chet brought four generations of his family to Normandy so that they will never forget what he lived through. An AFPTV report.

And here’s the video:

Find out a little more about my grandfather, Captain Chester Graham, on this Flickr page.

Update: Found one more vid, this one in Spanish - but it also has different shots:

Eurostar trains in Paris (tiltshifted)

I love how these look like real toy trains


Have you ever had someone explain something to you — and you’re grasping it… and then they keep babbling on and on and you lose that little thread of understanding and just end up confused?

Well, I have. Years of it, in fact. It was called “high school.”

I was reminded of that era by part of an email I just got from Kodak:

When will I get my order?
Your order is scheduled to arrive 3-10 business days after you receive this email. 3-10 business days delivery orders experience a range of delivery times. Most orders are delivered very quickly (within two to five business days), but 3-10 business days delivery time depends on distance and internal 3-10 business days delivery factors, and therefore cannot be guaranteed. US West Coast deliveries often arrive the next business day and many US East Coast orders arrive in as few as three business days. However, 3-10 business days delivery can take as long as 14 business days, regardless of destination. If your order has not arrived 14 business days after receiving your shipping confirmation email, please contact us at…


Photo fun (-ia)

11 Apr 2009 In: Miscellaneous

Found a cool new website that takes your photos, apply effects, and inserts them into various scenes. Fun stuff - in fact, the site’s name is PhotoFunia.

Check out a few of my favorite photographic creations - starting with an old shot of me and my big sister that looks like it’s in an antique book, and including putting one of my boys on a Harry Potter-esque WANTED poster and my daughter on a sign outside a (Russian) store. Go make your own at PhotoFunia!

BTW, I have no affiliation with this site at all - just thought it was interesting and amusing.

But wait... there's more!

About this site

What's next? Always something! And hopefully this will be more than your everyday ol' blog. For starters, there's my band and musician memorabilia (especially cool if you love 80s music).
