I added a new candle section. This will feature some of my more interesting candles. It is written with the jQuery framework.

You might need either of the above video players to view the following movies

Zulu, Died in Your Arms

My brother proudly sent me video of his cat's accomplishments. Who am I to deny him the joy of putting it to music? For some reason I also included footage of the wonder-pup herself, Tundra

Church Fire

In December of 2005 a local church caught fire. We had a direct view of it from our dorm rooms, and so took plenty of pictures and video. The next morning my roomate and I walked down to see it for ourselves. We took a few more pictures, a couple of them are really cool (the burnt cross propped up in the window). I ran into a news dude from channel 18 in Milwaukee and gave him our photos and videos, which they used that night as their top story. Note, when watching the video, the "look look its a fire guy!" is me, but they took the audio way outta context. My roomate makes a guest appearance saying "That is insane!"

Catching a Seagull

My brother teaching the proper technique for catching a seagull. More on Schwazé

Citibank Spoof 1  &  Citibank Spoof 2

In order to promote the InterVarsity fall conference retreat, my friends Mark, Ashley, Elizabeth, Tom, and I put together a couple "commercials"

Firecube

A favorite winter pass-time of mine is to create what I call firecubes. First you need to find all your left over firecrackers from the 4th of July. Then you need to waterproof them by dipping them in wax making sure not to let the wax touch the fuse. Then adhere the liquid wax-covered firecrackers to the bottom of an ice-cube tray. Fill the ice-cube tray about 2/3 full, and freeze. When you are done you have firecubes. Light these bad boys and send deadly slivers of ice in all directions. The only time these have ever drawn blood is when I lit one and put it under the case from a CD spindle. It blew the case to bits, sending one of the plastic pieces into my palm. But trust me, this is definitely a try-it-at-home sorta thing! :-)

Toga Party

Again for InterVarsity, this time it was advertising for a toga party. We decided to do a movie but had no premise from which to start, so we made it up as it went. Kinda silly, but thats the point!

Its Raining Men

My roomate had this mysterious item hidden away in his room for months until I finally saw it, and for good reason too, because now I cannot get it to leave my thoughts! What is it? An ugly fat dancing rat? Check it out for yourself
