Welcome to my site.

tim july 06

So, what's Tim up to? The purpose of this web site is to reflect myself and give people a one-stop view of what's going on with me and my family. I had photo, video, audio and blogs all over the place. My goal is to centralize that content here and share with the world. Please have a look, comment and make yourself at home.

Time Lapse of taking the Christmas tree down

It took 28 minutes in real time, but now you can watch the annual tear down process in 3 minutes. Watch to the end when the branches come off.

After three days and 8,341 still shots from our camera on the historic Scriver Building in downtown Northfield, Tech Talks' Adam Gurno and myself put together this time-lapse version of this weeks 8-10" of snow during blizzard conditions and a full-out snow day! Watch closely as there is a quiz at the end of this 3 minute video presentation.

Summer Vacation to the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells Photo and Video Galleries

A great time was had by all! Aug 21-23 2009. We stayed in the resort the whole time. There was so much to do that we didn't need to leave. The facility is immense.

Greazy Meal at the Cabooze in Minneapolis

grzgroupI just can’t write enough about this band in one post.  They were the house band at the Cabooze on the West Bank in Minneapolis in the 90’s.  They put on one of the best live shows on the face of the earth.  The members were a collaborative gathering of from many other successful acts such as Price, Mambo’s Combo, Beat the Clock & Paul Westerberg. 

Check out a video.  (strong language warning for your ears).  Website is www.greazymeal.com

Many ask what my favoite movie of all time is...and this is it

I've seen thousands and thousands of movies. People often discuss their favorite movies, which can be a daunting task. In 1999 I found my favorite movie, "Magnolia". It features a half dozen of my favorite actors and a top-notch writer/director. Here is the trailer, which doesn't do the movie justice. Go rent it, sit back, and be ready trade 3 hours for the movie of a life time.

 

Mashing two songs together that sound alike. Check this out

I heard this new song "Drowning (Face Down)" 2008 by Saving Abel this week. I immediately started to sing Badlees "Fear of Falling" 1995 over the top of it. So, I used my trusty Audacity audio editor and Vegas Studio video editor to put this little display together. This was my first attempt at using both together.

2009 VFW Easter Egg Hunt at St Olaf

It was almost a perfect morning for the 64th annual VFW Easter egg hunt. Just think....those who partook in the first hunt are now in their 70's. I'd like you to watch this film. Watch for frame 313 where the fatal mistake is made when the first child jumps the gun and begins the rush up the grassy knoll before the siren is sounded. This creates chaos as each child must decide their fateful future...leave early with everyone else, or wait until the siren and miss out on any candy. What happens? Well...everyone goes, but the hesitation creates clear gaps where the front kids get all and the back kids get nothing, including our girls. Zero!

Worst 'first pitch' in the history of baseball

Baseball starts in just two days. So, it's time to bring out my favorite "first pitch" clip. See, I always wondered how I'd do under the pressure of throwing one pitch in front of a major league team and audience watching. I understand that some might short hop it, but this is ridiculous. I'll never get sick of this! I laugh so hard every time.

Caught on video - how many times have you seen this with your own eyes?

Ok, maybe not so unique, but I was lucky enough to look down AND have my camera in hand, turned on, and driving down a road with no other cars in the vicinity (and set to video mode).

KYMN-Twins Caravan bring players to my very first day

Dan Gladden signed SI coverIt was a great way to start my career at KYMN Radio.  I reported for duty at 8am and the Minnesota Twins showed up at 9.  There was plenty of excitement and I didn't know what to expect.  I met Dan Gladden, Nick Blackburn and Scott Baker.  Everyone was great as we shuffled them around from one thing to the next.  They even signed stuff for us and took photos graciously.  Later on Rick Anderson (pitching coach) showed up late.  He was seeing his pitchers for the first time since season end. in early October.  It was cool to see them greet each other.  I love how they all have nick-names that end in "ey".  Rick called Scott, "Scotty" and Nick Blackburn, "Blackie".  Dan "Dazzle" Gladden was awesome.  I can't imagine their lives, being mauled all the time like they are. 

I finally got my photo taken with Wayne Eddy and the other guy jumped in.

-50 Degrees F and still God's country

Driving to work this morning on the coldest day in Minnesota in 10 months I took out my camera she shot the drive.  Amazing how packed and "white" the roads are.  Surprisingly, in Minnesota we can get the road to a normal cement or black top look once temps get "up" into the twenties and react with the road salt.  Well...I am driving in my pre-heated car and noticed the signs of extreme cold that I had forgotten about.  The roads drift, sometimes it whites-out, exhaust pipes emit a fog and car windows are frosted over.  It's surreal but real, especially when the DJ shows some humor by playing U2's "In God's Country". The air temp was actually about -10F with winds gusting up to 40 MPH, creating the wind-chill effect of a lifetime. 

An hour later I was driving around for work and saw "Sundogs" around the sun so I took a photo.  Amazing beauty.  I believe that happens when moisture crystallizes in the atmosphere to ask like a prism for the light to pass through, refracting into the color spectrum.  I'm trying to point out the positives when living under these brutal weather conditions.
