It is easy to misread signals whether they be voice, written, or visual… this short video plays off that theme "misread signals" for the Wis-Kino 2009 Fall Kabaret – a 48 hour film event. It’s a bit mixed as the producer wasn’t quite into it all, or driven this particular weekend. Video also on YouTube. Creative Commons music in video by Colab "3/4 piano in G minor" from ccMixter.

Scenes from White Pine Apple Orchard east of River Falls, Wisconsin – W7901 830th Ave – Keith Kozub owner. White Pine is a small organic orchard with around eight varieties of apples, cider, and friendly atmosphere.

Video bike ride to St Paul includes views of MN Half Marathon, Battle Creek Indian Mounds Park, the Mississippi River below St Paul, 7th Heaven cafe, and the St Paul Farmers Market. Round trip views from Applewood at Lake Rd and 494, past Battle Creek Indian Mounds Park, under the tracks, along 61, through low lands, along the river to watch Minnesota half marathon (run and roller blade), to 7th Heaven for a BcMuffin, across town to farmers market, returning along the river, through trail in Battle Creek Park, and back to start. Or watch HD version at YouTube, or check the route on Google Maps. Oh… and I caught a glimpse or listen to Roe Family Singers at the Farmers Market.

We got off to a slow start, but finally decided to go with this work around the yard video with a natural busy bee – Jacalyn. Play video below or at YouTube if you have cellphone video player.

Can you produce a video in 48 hours? No, make that 72 hours… come to the next Wis-Kino Kabaret on July 16th to the 19th, 2009 to produce a short video and watch it on the big screen. We're at the Sundance Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin so do what you can with what you have and do it now… www.wis-kino.com.

This was My Ride for the Biking to Work Week in Madison, Wisconsin. I primarily produced it for CrankmyChain and the weekly live casts that Dan Kaufman has been doing on Stickam.

I was a bit late, by about 7 hours, as the ride with Mayor Dave Cieslewicz was at 8:30am on a chilly morning, and I had to ride 10 miles to the start location – so I procrastinated. Okay, I slept it.

So I recreated the ride and recorded my own parallel ride. This is my ride from close the start – I took wrong turn, so I’m a block early – along the trail to the 5pm social, and then to home, with highlights along the return (including tunnels under busy streets).

We found May Apples uring this May 25, 2009 walk and several other plants of beauty… weeds or not, it spring and visually interesting.
