I pretty much planned to wait until I returned back home to get Snow Leopard (Apple’s latest Mac OS upgrade!) but they have an Apple store on Kaua’i! Best news ever :)

So.. I ran out and got it! Shout-out to Mac Made Easy!!! If you ever find yourself stranded without an Apple power adapter and you’re in Kaua’i — now you know where to go!!!

Soon as I picked up Snow Leopard, I posted a little thread on dailybooth asking people to show me their Snow Leopard — Feel free to add your photo to that thread if you haven’t already! (I definitely stole that photo idea from charlestrippy.. he did it first lol)

I got a ton of responses and I put SOME of them into a collage above showing not only a bunch of avid Apple fans.. but how awesome of a community that dailybooth has (sorry to leave out a bunch of you guys who also posted photos without snow leopard! I loved your shots as well :))

I absolutely love dailybooth and you should definitely check it out if you haven’t already. I blogged about it back in Feb if you want to read my original post, click here!

..and if you wanna check out my dailybooths, you can do that here!

I decided to post the full video of these birds attacking my camera! It’s awesome. This was shot with my Canon SD 960 with the underwater case on it.

Maui clips

Posted at 6:27 pm | 19 comments

These are some of my favorite clips that I’ve shot thus far on Maui (currently I’m in Kauai now shooting some more awesomeness!)

The best part about this video is that I used 3 different cameras. I posted the question in my youtube description asking people if they could tell the difference between the cameras: Nikon D90, Canon SD 960 and the new Flipvideo Ultra HD — let me know what your guesses are in the comments!

I’ll also be posting a full blog entry review about the underwater housing that I bought for my camera soon!

Remember twitvid.io? Yeah! The ones that made their site before twitvid.com came and stole everything they were working on and launched their site a week later? Yep.. that one.

Well, instead of competing with a conflicting brand that they had created first.. they decided to re-brand and create vid.ly — the best way to share video on twitter :)

My iPhone accelerometer got a little confused on this vid :) haha!

You can do all the same stuff like add video responses, like videos and retweet all from the vid.ly interface just like before.

It’s fun to just shoot and email little clips from your iPhone and have them tweeted out automatically on the go. Let me know what you think of it!

Birds eat themselves

I caught them in the act! ..actually, I was the one feeding them.. Oops!

I found them doing this same thing last year and I blogged it too with some awesome shots.

So, if you’ve ever posted a video on Youtube and received comments on it.. most of the time, there are some little haters that find their way to your video. This video… is for them!

Big thanks to Mr. Youtube Prince Shane Dawson for being the best drummer and dancer ever! You can get his videos on his channel (warning most of them are a little vulgar and NSFW lol) and follow his tweets @shanedawson

Thanks for watching and let me know what you think of the video!

Zappos Tour

Posted at 10:04 pm | 13 comments

My sisters and I went and took a tour of Zappos while were in Vegas — this is the outcome of that trip :)

Seriously, this HAS to be one of the best places to work. Everyone is having a great time and getting work done — that’s rare in an office place! If vlogging doesn’t work out.. I know where I’m heading! :P
