Some videos

Posting about serious stuff will likely be light here for a couple of weeks- lots of big projects coming due. Though I tend to procrastinate by blog posting, so you never know.

I made a couple of videos for my Introduction to Information Technology class project: 10 Things to do in an airport when you’re bored. I made this list in June when I had a 4.5 hour layover in the Detroit airport coming back from ALA. I didn’t have near the nightmare travel others did, the 4.5 hours flew by. A camera, sketchpad, and MP3 player were more than enough to keep me entertained.

First, a video of the fountain in the airport- quite fun to watch. I originally had this set to the White Stripes “Girl you have no faith in medicine,” but that, of course, is not creative commons licensed. I found the new music at ccmixter.org/media/files/DJ_Rkod/11554 – it fits even better.

While walking the pretty tunnel under the concourses, I saw this little girl dancing to the new age music. I took a quick video- it’s not the best, I was trying to be surreptitious, so as not to look TOO creepy. She was really cute. Music from ccmixter.org/media/files/oldDog/11739.

    I think the song you picked worked the best here. However, that White Stripes song is awesome! Very dangerous while driving though :)

    Jeff- I agree! It’s hard to listen to that song (or, actually, any White Stripes song) without wanting to dance/drive fast.

    I really hope in my lifetime people wise up and let music (and other art) be used for re-purposing more widely.
