I came across local photog Jessica Castro after a series of links – kickstarter pages, a local UCF grad, Jessica had shot her and posted to flickr, a poster image from this video linking to Jessica’s Vimeo account and this video. Sort of the “six degrees” way I find many of the videos for this blog. I really love the aesthetic. And as much depth-of-field blur as we see these days, I think it actually worked here.

Parting thought: while I really enjoy the handheld feel, I wonder if a little bit of manual stabilization, such as a $15 Steadycam could have helped.

Quoting Anjali Fluker from the Orlando Business Journal blog: Food Truck Wars debuts in Oviedo this March
Food Truck Wars, which will be at the Oviedo Mall on March 31, will feature all the delicious dishes and treats prepared by participating trucks along with a beer and wine garden, live music and a silent auction, whose proceeds will benefit local charities. The event, sponsored by the mall and the city of Oviedo, is free, but food and drink will be for sale.
As part of the fun, a video featuring Louie’s Bistro owner Luis Colon, the Country Chuck Wagon owner Larry Long and Oviedo Mayor Dominic Persampiere promises fun galore at the inaugural event.
Conference Championship Sunday has given us our Super Bowl Combatants. How were they narrowed down? -- By the action soon to be analyzed by the SoTG, Chris and Weasel.
I recently noticed a link to “the Arts Hotel” on the United Arts of Central Florida page on Facebook. I was instantly curious. I found this video:
Faith Arts Village Orlando is a ministry of Park Lake Presbyterian Church that provides a place where the faith community and local artists can work together to share their gifts of inspiration, beauty, and spiritual expression to promote peace, understanding, and well-being in the larger community.
As a ‘village’ it will emphasize the activity and integration of many constituents: local artists, church members, community patrons, schools, and civic groups. The Faith and Arts Village may include:
- Studio space for artists
- Green and exhibit space for community gathering
- Meeting and classroom space
- Gallery space
- Open air markets
- Outdoor performance space
- Cafe space for refreshments
- Office space for administration
- Possible future residential space for designated guests
- Mission outreach through the arts
- Encouraging art as an expression of faith
Prolific Drupal contributor Dave Reid joins Ryan Price and Mike Anello on the first DrupalEasy podcast of 2012. They discuss the Meta Tags module (and why it’s not just for SEO anymore), Drupal’s security team, Drupal 8’s WSCCI initiative, the increasing complexity of Drupal’s code and the decreasing number of core contributors.
Congratulations to the entire SoTG Forum! The SoTG himself went 74% in picks during the study hall in the regular season, Chris posted a respectable 71% while Weasel went 69%. The contest for picks this year is the SoTG's to lose as he's 5 games up on Chris and 7 games up on Weasel.
Week 17 . . . the end of the NFL Season . . . what do the playoffs have to offer? How did we get these teams? The SoTG, Chris, and Weasel preach on.
