When electricity gets angry...
345k V Switch
Another cool electricity vid.
Silly Chicas
Sara Miles and a buddy being silly.
Winchester Mysteries...
A fun way to spend an afternoon with my daughter and our video camera, and make use of what we had learned on a recent visit to the Sara Winchester house in San Jose, California.
Panera Memories
Home-made video for a talent show. Made by my daughter, Jana Miles.
MySpaceTV Videos: Bush Drunk by Jim Miles
Description: This is comedy. You'll figure it out, so I won't blow it for you. Enjoy!
MySpaceTV Videos: Tetris For Nerds by Jim Miles
Description: What planning, what intelligence, what energy.... must have been wasted making this video! Hooray for nerds!
MySpaceTV Videos: 16000 Firecrackers by Jim Miles
Description: I love the sound of 16,000 firecrackers exploding at once. My question is, Did they realize it would be THAT loud? Did they damage their hearing?? How far away was this heard??? It cracks me up, because it reminds me of my youth...
MySpaceTV Videos: Anomaly? Armageddon! by Jim Miles
Description: Pretty standard GPS-satellite-carrying $45,000,000.00 Cape Canaveral rocket exploding and melting car tires stuff. But what amazed me was the NASA Mission Control lady calling it an "anomaly." Watch it again, and imagine the end of the world!
MySpaceTV Videos: Real Meteor Caught on Video by Jim Miles
Description: How cool is that?! (there is no sound on this video; it was accidentally captured by a simple security camera)
MySpaceTV Videos: Because Dogs Are Funny by Jim Miles
Description: My brother sent this to me today. Gotta love it. Dogs prove that God exists (remember what -dog- spelled backward is), and that He has a really great sense of humor.
MySpaceTV Videos: Dog Fireworks by Jim Miles
Description: Was this dog being stupid, or exceptionally brave and carefree, or subtly yet nonviolently making a statement about the subjugation of dogs to men? Probably just stupid. But I don't know...
MySpaceTV Videos: My QuadCam by Jim Miles
Description: Too bad there was no microphone on the camera, but the video came out pretty well. Taken during 2006 trip to Black Rock Desert north of Sparks, NV.
MySpaceTV Videos: Electric Sound by Jim Miles
Description: Captured at the 500 kV Eldorado substation near Boulder City, NV, by power company engineers and maintenance staff. It's short, but very interesting. Remember, this was a real event, NOT a manipulated picture or a special effect. Thats why it's cool.
Bite Me : The Invasion
A silly fun home movie with a sci-fi theme. I added visual and sound effects with Cyberlink Director
Bush Incapable of Serious Thought
I don't know about you, but I've been listening and watching carefully to George W. Bush since he was a candidate in 2000. In six years, I have never heard him say anything remotely intelligent. Worse, he has displayed a lack of communication skills that personally horrifies me, to think that HE represents ME and MY country. I have 9th grade students who could answer questions more intelligently than he can. That's just not right.
PNAC
I consider myself independent, but realize that the whole narrative of American society is being wrenched to the right by the Project for a New American Century. Pretending that Dubya has anything to do with this administration other than getting PNAC's hands on the wheel is just allowing PNAC to remain cloaked, Wizard-of-Oz-style, behind the "good 'ol boy," Bush. It's not a conspiracy; they freely publish their imperial goals on their website-- newamericancentury.org
Pat Robertson Overheard During Commercial
The hypocrisy of this evangelical leader becomes evident when he tries to spin his hatespeech into what he is supposed to be saying as a gospel minister: God loves everyone, even sinners. But this video shows him to be every bit the politician and homophobe he really is, behind the scenes. Great insight into the inner workings of a professional spin machine!
UPDATE: disclaimer--I got this video from somewhere else, I did not create it. I don't even remember where I got it, else I would gladly credit the sou
O'Reilly Lies
A favorite tactic of demagogues is the Lie. They get away with outright lies by controlling the mass media, thus avoiding accountability. Fascist dictatorships protect their exploitation and favoritism by dumbing down the masses. Hitler and Stalin, Maoist China and Castro's Cuba, North Korea, all are threatened by the free flow of ideas. That's because their ideas are (or were) terrible!
Most of the current admin's own party have sharp disagreements with the demagoguery of Bush & Co. The Republican base, in
James Blunt - No Bravery
I used Windows Movie Maker to create the above. The only reason I used such a buggy, crash-prone program was to demonstrate to my computer students how it could be used. They have recently undertaken some projects on it. I downloaded the images (all except the last, of course) from various sites dedicated to remembering the horrific scenes that the Corporate media refuses to show Americans. I got pics of James Blunt from a CD my wife bought.
