Sometimes to go forward, you have to go backward. To reach, and then withdraw. Today was that kind of day. I started out this morning from Seligman, AZ with idea of getting to Grants, NM by evening. Although it was gusty, the sun was shining bright through the cumulus clouds. Then the emergency signs lit up — I-40 Closed — Expect Delays. I didn’t know how long the delays might be, so I just kept going. But at the Twin Arrows Exit 219 the trucks were parked for a mile or two on both sides, and they were turning folks back. Now if I were in my other car, which is a Big Rig Rollin’ I might have just slept in the cab, but in Little Silver it was time to take the twin arrow that was pointing back to Flagstaff.
The recording by The Weavers was recorded in New York City on May 26, 1950 and released by Decca Records as catalog number 27077. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on June 30, 1950 and lasted 25 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1.
On the day I was born, it was still at #1, and that seems like a million years ago.
I created the video above while playing with Adobe Premiere. I’ve been in search of a program to replace Windows Movie Maker, and soon it will be time to replace Windows itself. Here is the original video that I mashed up to create the one above. I found Adobe Premiere to be a bit difficult to use, but overall I liked it. I’m not committed to Adobe Premiere just yet. Does anyone know of any video editing freeware that is good? Preferably a program that would work on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
It’s no wonder that GooTube is used so much more, they are just a lot better. I’ve posted 97 videos on YouTube and Misty has posted 39. I searched Design Ninjas and got these Results:
Google/YouTube: Our vids were the first 27 of 121, and many others showed up.
Yahoo: None of our vids out of 48.
Blinkx: Ours were the first 2, and a total of 6 out of 41.
Recently, on our trip to Sacramento we flew with Delta. We found Delta to be just like all the other airlines, except on the bigger planes they had these little screens in the back of every seat. You could order movies from here or watch television for free. The cool part was they had a trivia game you could play with the other passengers. Everyone who played was recognized by the name they typed in and the seat number. It was a great way to get passengers to interact on a flight and also worked at keeping people from getting too bored. Way to go Delta!
