The Swine Flu Hype Isn’t New (1976)
This is a video talking about the “Coming Swine Flu Epidemic!” it’s from 1976… I’m not really sure why everyone is freaking out. I know it killed some people in Mexico and the POTUS was hangin’ with a guy who died the next day from “flu like symptoms” but The First Gentleman was out hitting the links yesterday. This thing isn’t going to turn the country into a zombie holocaust, so please folks just chill.

Cheetah vs Ostrich vs Camera Crew
This is the best thing ever! Watch the whole video. You won’t be disappointed.
I didn’t know that people jump cut stuff like this back in the 70’s! When I was a kid my Dad bought collection of 20 VHS tapes featuring animal studies and documentaries. I must have watched each of them 10 times. They were all shot on 16 mm so watching this really took me back.
My New Camera

I just got a new camera called the Canon HF S100
Here a few things I’ve shot while out and about in Los Angeles.
These clips are HD resolution so they might take a bit longer to load.
The amazing thing about this camera is it’s only the size of a soda can and it records to SD cards instead of tape at 24p full HD resolution. It’s amazing!
