• Activity Mat: The 180°

  Posted on Friday August 21st, 2009 at 11:26 in videos, weird, offspring, timelapse

  I recently tweeted that: Daughter’s current mobility status: Can’t crawl, can’t sit up, but won’t necessarily be in the same place you left her 5 minutes ago. Which prompted one wiseass comment asking if I was alluding to tele...

  Previously on The Activity Mat Chronicles… You are about to witness what Nora does all day between the eating and the pooping. She’s always been a fan of the supine position, preferring it to any inclined sitting position. And with her ...

• Clay Keepsake – Three Months Old

  A friend of my parents gave us a “clay keepsake” gift. I had never heard of such a thing, but the value was immediately obvious to someone who has photographed his infant daughter’s body with a quarter for scale. The idea is that ...

• Falling Asleep At 200x Speed

  Posted on Monday June 8th, 2009 at 09:13 in funny, videos, offspring, timelapse

  This video has been sitting on my computer for a month now, and I finally got around to uploading it. No doubt we all look similarly twitchy and ridiculous when we speed up video of us falling asleep, but I think Nora looks particularly so. ItR...

• A Walk Around Colindres

  Ever since I knew I would be a father, and even before we bought a stroller, I’ve wanted to make a video like this one. I’m really quite enamored with my adopted town here in Spain. It’s a wonderful size, it’s got all the am...

• Inactivity Mat

  Posted on Monday April 27th, 2009 at 08:18 in videos, offspring, timelapse

  Marga’s coworkers gave us an “activity mat” as a present when Nora was born. It’s one of these things where you put the baby on the floor and toys dangle above her and she spends hours and hours getting visual, tactile, and a...

• IKEA Nesting Instinct

  Posted on Wednesday February 25th, 2009 at 08:02 in videos, photos, house, complaining, timelapse

  The first time I heard the phrase “IKEA nesting instinct” was in Edward Norton’s narration of Fight Club. I’d never heard of IKEA, despite living in Scandinavia at the time. When we bought our house in England, almost all th...

• Attempted Snow

  Posted on Monday January 12th, 2009 at 15:29 in videos, timelapse, colindres

  This is what passes for snow down here at sea level in Northern Spain. It did actually stick to the hillside you can see through the window for almost 24 hours. A bit anticlimactic, I know. Sorry, but it captures my disappointment rather well....

• Crescent Moonset

  Posted on Tuesday December 30th, 2008 at 17:57 in science, videos, photos, Geeky, timelapse

  Just like any of you men out there would do if you really loved your wives, as a birthday present for my wife yesterday, I aligned the moon and the planets. You know, just to show her I care. You’ll have to click through to the large versio...

• Sunset Season 2008

  Posted on Tuesday November 11th, 2008 at 04:52 in spain, science, videos, timelapse, colindres

  It’s that time of year again, as the hour hand approaches the six, my computer screen is showered with sunshine, forcing me to lower the shutters. During the warmer months, there is a building blocking the sun from entering my office, but the ...
