Max rides a bike for the first time
Last weekend, on June 9th, we bought our daughter Max a new bicycle. She is now four years old and growing fast, so we thought it was finally time to get her her own bike. Wearing her brother’s old helmet, she gave her new bike a spin. She really had a great time and picked it up pretty well. Our neighbors, the Omori family, also have a four year old daughter, Miharu. Max enjoyed riding around with her. Now taking her out for riding is part of my weekend routine. Of course I took a lot of high-def video of Max’s first ride, but since I’m very busy these days, I won’t have time to edit it soon. So my first ever fotobabble will have to suffice! Check this out. Click the play arrow at the bottom left and you can here me talk about this picture. I created this recording in my Photography & the Internet class at Chukyo University, as a demonstration to my students on how to use this free service.
My busy mornings
Hey, instead of a video clip, I have something new this time: a “Voicethread” featuring photos and commentary from a typical morning at our home. Voicethreads (from Voicethread.com) are a new and cool way of sharing photos. Not only can you hear (or see, if I had used a video camera) me, but you can also leave text, audio, or even video comments (if you have a camera attached to your computer). So, have at it, folks! Click the big triangle play button below and check out how I spend my busy mornings. Click the Comment button to leave your own words or voice. Lets see if we can get a bit of a dialog going!
