Luca cut his first tooth this week, plus he has had bit of a cold. So he’s been in the wars and has been a grumpy little man from time to time, however he still has plenty of time to be cheeky!
He has also been going to swimming lessons with mum, so I’ve had him in the shower a few times with me to get used to water over his head.
So you want to create an online video from various video clips or pictures that you have? Want to add some music to the background and also have some basic effects to spruce it all up?
Sounds like you are looking for Eyespot 🙂
A while back I was looking for an easy way to put together some of the video clips that get taken on digital cameras and make them into an online video to share with others.
Around a year ago I heard about Eyespot on one of the Twit podcasts and thought I’d give it a go. Since then I’ve been using it to create little videos to send to friends online and have found Eyespot most useful.
You can upload video clips, music files and pictures and then create a “mix” by choosing the various files you want to use, you can then create titles, includes transitions between clips and pictures and even add funky effects to the clips.
If you want to see a few examples of what can be done you can visit Luca’s site where every so often I put up a new video of him, or go straight to Eyespot, start reading and register!
While driving home tonight we saw what looked like a spaceship!
On closer inspection it was the Holden balloon flying fairly low and slow over the Adelaide suburbs.
I took a little video which came out ok.

A lot of people ask me where I host my sites. Well a lot of them are hosted at Dreamhost.
One of the guys at work referred me to them 18 months ago and I’ve been using them ever since. One day soon I’ll write a full review but in the meantime a few people have recently asked me for Dreamhost referral codes or referrer codes to get a discount when signing up.
So I’ve created a code that gives you $50 USD discount when joining for a year, that brings your first year down to something like $70USD which is a bargain for what you get.
When signing up for your first account with Dreamhost use the promo code: JOSEPHBURFORD1
It helps you and it helps me! Hope this isn’t too much like spam 🙂
Caterina’s honorary grandpa (Nonno) passed away on Sunday. We went to the viewing last night which was a bit sad.
Here’s a photo that Caterina took a few months ago of me & Luca with Fr & Sr Pace.
We went and visited him in hospital a few days before he passed away, his last words to me were: “Guiseppe, have a happy life. That’s all.”
Such a nice person, we are sad to see him go but thankful that the end was peaceful.
