We’re in the middle of upgrading and some design aspects have been lost and/or changed.  Patience!

My first attempts at videography did not go very well (I ended up muting myself because of the number of “ers” and “ums” and “that’s all for now!”), but I patched together some clips from the day I biked to Grouse Mountain, hiked Grouse Grind, zip-lined for two hours, and then biked back to Spokes.  My friend Nick was a reluctant camera subject, but he did okay in his Bikes and Biscuits debut.

Success:  Mollie and G have created separate accounts and registered as administrators for the bikesandbiscuits blog.  Snafu: Even though our private dashboard tells us who wrote which blog post, I can’t figure out how to get the public blog to display the info.  Hmm.  Tech geeks, please help!

My first weekend with my Flip. My friends and I quickly realized that battery charging is key, excess coffee makes for shaky hands, and a bit of pre-planning might not be a bad idea. Here, the very rough results – I’m also teaching myself how to use iMovie, hence the non-ending. I’m thinking the learning curve is going to be steep, though. Cinematic genius is just around the corner.

Hey! Check out this super cute clip I took of my friends Hayley and Nalina in New York this weekend. What? It’s sideways, you say? Whoops. Apparently videos are not as easy to rotate as pictures.

UPDATE: You can, indeed, rotate clips in the latest version of iMovie. That’s as far as I’ve gotten…again, learning experience.
