On Amsterdam

I finally sat down and sorted out a semi-comprehensive overview of my Amsterdam trip. It might have been a more exciting overview if I hadn't waited 3 months to put it together :) Anyway, I tried something new and made a series of 10-minute podcasts. I'm liking the format, even if my content is weak for this first trial. The free-form approach works for speed but not quality. I'm really enjoying the podcasts from Sparkletack, so I may try to do more of these. I'd love to hear if there is any interest in the format change :)
Honestly, I think my 1 long version that I recorded in Amsterdam is a bit more genuine-sounding, since I was literally in the midst of the trip. The new ones are a bit bland, but hopefully the video makes up for what the audio lacks.
Footage from the trip, featuring 2 performances by Sam and his Ukulele.
And on a completely unrelated note, I have to share this amazing clip of Andrew Bird with Yo-Yo Ma.
And yet another side note, Mitch drove down to Atlanta to join Manny on the last leg of his 300-miles barefoot walk. I really recommend reading up about the cause here.
