Video Help

Hey, thanks for all the great feedback on the videos. For the regular blog viewers, though, I've got a question.

Which do you prefer, this link to a video, or this link to the youtube posted video (which, as displayed below) can also be embedded in a page? The video quality is, I think, heads and shoulders better in the former, but the ease of use with the second option may be significantly different, and, for some viewers, determinative. On the former, you may want to wait a minute to let it fully load and I suspect you need Quicktime (which you likely already have if you have iTunes).

Please leave a note in the comments letting me know which you prefer.

Thanks!

Owen - the movie

I've decided to make a movie celebrating each kid. Owen's is first, and, well, here it is.

I'm curious what your experience of seeing these movies is. I'm thinking about upgrading to an .Mac account so that I can post these with more clarity (they would be, supposedly, DVD quality). It's not that expensive, but it's not free. Please let me know if you like these movies, or have any thoughts about that.

Ok, enjoy the movie:

Roar, the extended remix

The Owen and Zoe video is now longer, with new footage. Check it out here:

New - Video!

Hey, we've got a new feature here at Kaiserstrasse - video!

Please see our new Owen and Zoe Video. Enjoy!

Obama in Des Moines

Here's a video of Obama's speech in Des Moines this weekend at the Jefferson Jackson dinner. Some folks have said it's his best in quite a while, and, to my mind, it is really quite powerful.

FYI, it's also about 20 minutes long.

Incendiary Ad

Is this in really bad taste? Will it dampen turnout among caucus-goers who caucus at shopping malls?

Owen with Candice

Don't they look like they're having fun?

Zoe saw litter

and we're trying to teach her how to be human by showing her TV ads from the 80s.

if that's too opaque, please see this:

Visit to the pumpkin patch

And Zoe turned into a pumpkin!

For as long as she was behind that wall.

It's magic?

Visit with Family

B's cousin Max visited with his girlfriend Paulina, who were very lovely. They're both really neat people (though not (necessarily) in the sense of being tidy).

Here is the obligatory photograph of them with the children commemorating the visit.

I'm no fan of Edwards, but this is a pretty powerful ad, to my mind.
