An Interesting Occurrence

Dave — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 05:20:49 +0000

About a year or two ago I stumbled across this video:

I was intrigued and checked out some of their stuff. They have a lot of interesting music available. They apparently have a hookup of some sort with Electro-Harmonix, too, because they’ve done quite a few demo videos for their pedals.

I just saw a car commercial featuring the musical duo. They are called Pomplamoose. It was one of those strange moments when you see something that you think is somewhat unique in an unanticipated place. I have no idea what their play count was when I originally viewed the above video, but it’s now near two million. Apparently I’m not the only person who happened upon their music. Still, it’s a strange feeling.

Eli Shares with Noah

Dave — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 20:54:04 +0000

This was one of the first interactions Eli had with Noah yesterday. Later in the evening Eli was sitting in the rocking chair and held both arms out because he wanted to hold Noah; he did a very good job of holding him and being gentle.

Eli in December

Dave — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 05:33:04 +0000

December was a fun month for us. Probably the most exciting thing was Eli learning to walk. Here’s a look at what he’s been up to this month.

In creating this video I learned something interesting about YouTube; they apparently have audio detection software that compares the audio of an uploaded video to known items. I had several songs playing sequentially in the background of the video (the first three tracks from the same album). I received an email from YouTube saying the audio portion of my video had been disabled because it “may have content that is owned or licensed by WMG.” I swapped out the old audio for a different song.

I find it very interesting that YouTube would censor videos that way, especially considering their use of the word “may.” I wonder if they are required to do so, or if that is a service they sell to companies, such as WMG, to help them protect their copyrights.

Eli in November

I was feeling inspired by the clips I put together awhile ago and decided I’d showcase Eli’s videos each month. Here’s what he’s been up to the last month.

Catching Up With Eli

Dave — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:44:47 +0000

We’ve collected quite a bit of video over the last eight months and, unfortunately, just haven’t had the time to post much of it here. I’ve taken some of them and put together two videos for you to check out. It started as one, but I split it into two as YouTube doesn’t accept videos over ten minutes. That said, enjoy.

And here’s part two.

Eli is Now Crawling

Dave — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 03:34:27 +0000

Nothing is safe in our apartment as of a few days ago; Eli figured out how to crawl. It’s really exciting to see him scooting around the floor, chasing down everything. We were kinda hoping he wouldn’t quite figure it out until we moved to our house and got things baby-proofed, but that didn’t work out. Rather than go through the trouble of doing that here (only a couple weeks before we move), we’re just keeping a close eye on him.

Here’s a video of Eli showing off his new trick. It’s been tough to get him to crawl when we want to see it, so Megan tempted him with the ultimate toy he cannot have: the remote.

More Rolling Around

Dave — Sat, 16 May 2009 21:22:08 +0000

Megan loves to roll Eli over onto his stomach. It’s become a fun little game for him, which is good considering how much he used to hate being on his stomach. Here’s a look at Eli’s new skills.

Learning to Play

About a week ago Eli and Alexis were having a little fun together. Alexis, however, decided to have a little fun at Eli’s expense. Check it out.
