I've submitted my video to Travel Channel to be a guest on Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, which is a travel show that I've been in love with for a few years. Its a contest and while the network people pick the winner, I'm sure a little help from the public could be a nice push in the right direction. I made a video and threw in some shots from some of my previous videos. Help me out by visiting the site, viewing the video, and giving me 5 gold stars.

So I got Big Island Revealed, which is a book that quite a few people here have recommended. Its got quite a few thing in here and should provide some good inspiration for upcoming photos and video.

   

A few days ago we went up to Rainbow Falls a pretty big waterfall, located in Hilo a few miles from the house.

Well 2007 isn't over yet and I've got one of my objectives for 2008 already completed (sort of)...

Plane Ticket Booked

Looks like I'm going to the 2008 Beijing Olympics
 

So I'm back in town for Christmas/New Years. Good to see nothings changed; freeways are packed, air is brown. Contact me if you want to hang out, I'm here to the 5th.

In the second episode of the NAFT, me and Gabe head down to New Mexico and visit the Very Large Array, a radio telescope in the desert.

Note: This is the extended longer cut of Episode 2; it runs over 14 minutes and gets into a bit of detail about the workings of the VLA, click here to view the shorter 4 minute version.

I was in Vancouver last week for a few days. I really like that city; it's like a cleaner, more civilized version of New York. Personally I like the city, downtown Vancouver is very dense so everything is in walking distance and open late. There's a wide variety of food, the people are friendly, the architecture of the city is beautiful and there are actual seasons. Americans like to dog Canada, but don't knock it till you've tried it, thats all I've got to say.

In other news, I'm working on part 2 of the North American Farewell Tour video, however I've had a technical setback and finishing it is going to take longer than I had originally hoped. Hopefully I'll have something by next Monday, the 26th.
