tasty blog snack

You know it’s true.. I was here first but Nickelodeon though it’d be a great idea to create a new i product and launch an extremely successful children’s show.

Well, enough is enough!

Nickelodeon, whether you like it or not.. I will visiting you in the New Year and demanding a battle of the i’s. BRING IT ON!

..and as a side note, how many typography rules did I break?

Ah, THE outlet! There it is.. what iPhone?

Figured since it’s almost the new year.. it’d be a good time to reflect (spoof?) the past.

Went to this place called the Harris Grill yesterday in Shady Side. Check out what is on their menu! It was a goooood burger.

..and yeah, I’m not sure why I didn’t take a pic of the actual burger. Oh well!

While back here in the ‘burg, the amazing John C. Simpson managed to fit me into his busy schedule for a haircut! I’ve never time lapsed a haircut before.. so I thought this would be the perfect time to do so!

Before you ask what I used to time lapse — I’ll tell you! In iMovie, there is a slightly hidden time lapse option that can be found in the drop down menu by clicking the little camera icon. Click it and it’ll bring up another dialog box of options for you to choose.

After that, I took all of the clips into Final Cut Pro and sped some of them up, took a few stills, etc.

The set-up with new my new Macbook Pro.

Getting some pretties.

..and in the end, I have a new hair cut and some colors!

Thanks to John Simpson for the great hairs cut and the other John.. John Carman for introducing me to hair cutting John Simpson.

Got a lot of tweets asking… WHAT DID YOU GET FOR CHRISTMAS???!!!??!!

Well, my parents really aren’t ever sure what to get me anymore, so they usually default to awesome giftcards. This year, Southwest had some! Talk about the perfect gift..

I also got a new Linksys wireless router for my apartment and some awesome Bose headphones which you saw in my Apple Store video.

What did you get this year?

While sitting at the airport on my way back home to Pittsburgh, I get a call from one of my sisters suggesting we go get Christmas photos taken at WalMart! Now, there was no way I was about to get off a flight and go get picture taken, so the next day.. we dressed up in our finest sweaters that we could find, and headed to the mart for our wonderful photos.

Sadly, they promised us we’d have our prints today in time for Christmas.. but FedEx didn’t deliver them! Good thing for digital photos.. they saved Christmas.

Check our this festive little collage they made us..

When I pulled out my iPhone for my single photo, the guy was like “Are you serious…?” — “Don’t ask..” I replied.

Merry Christmas!

Cruising through my back log of email tonight, I came across a newsletter for this website Taaz. I briefly recalled signing up a long time ago but never went any further. The newsletter said I needed a new holiday style.. so this is what came of it

Now, most of those edits could have easily been done in photoshop.. but what you won’t get in Photoshop is every color you choose, is linked up with the brand and item name.

Guys, you might not be as interested in this, but tell your ladies! There is nothing worse than buying makeup, putting it on once you’re home and realizing how terrible it looks.

When you choose your first photo, it’ll take you through a series of quick steps to trace the location of your features. From there, the possibilities are endless. I’d love to see what you guys come up with!!

(and lol at the advertisement)

Now, excuse me.. I must go out and get some MAC Golden Olive eye shadow and Blast O’ Blue lipstick. ha ha.

You might not be aware, but Santa does in fact fly Soutwest. I saw him today at the airport picking up his bags at the Southwest terminal. All that flying reindeer nonsense is so 2007.

Made this little song as a spoof of a popular little holiday tune.. you might recognize it? Hope you enjoy it and have a great holiday! Be sure to share this with someone who might need a little holiday cheer.

I really did plan on making this about something other than an iPhone.. but, as you can see that didn’t happen.

Oh, and if you happen to play this for your family or friends at Christmas dinner (or anywhere else).. make me a video and I’ll post them all together if I get a few.

Doing a little editing of a Christmas video I made tonight.. and it’s NOT an easy task because in front of me are containers FULL of cookies. Really, really difficult.

(For those that may ask and don’t know — I edit with Final Cut Pro)

Yum!

(and yes, I’m wearing bright green sweat pants. Don’t judge!)
