Video meliora proboque deteriora sequor

Having not posted here for a while, I should start by directing the reader’s attention to a number of videos I have uploaded recently. They are a mixture of footage and photography, accompanied by original music uploaded to the site ‘vimeo.com’. Below are a couple of the lower resolution videos I have made so far.

From my vimeo profile page (at http://vimeo.com/refuge) my HD photography slideshows can also be viewed.

On the subject of internet new media (<– stand clear of the unnecessarily unwieldy segue), BBC News has finally finished revamping its website. The BBC homepage had already been redesigned, however the News section of the site was, until recently, still working under the old design. Details on hows and whys of the new layout can be found in this entry on the BBC ‘The Editors’ blog. I’m personally a big fan of the new design, and not only because it allows me to witter on about a subject which is far less controversial than the current affairs reported on the BBC News site itself (Tibet/Zimbabwe/The Apprentice UK).

Finally, as regular readers will be aware, I cannot end a post without mentioning (read: ‘ranting about) President George ‘Dubya’ Bush. Today’s mention comes in the form of a video from the American television news programme ‘Countdown with Keith Olbermann’ presented by… well, Keith Olbermann (the antidote to Bill O’Reilly). The fun part begins around 0:45 in, when the phrase ’stay the course’ comes under discussion.
