About 11 inches of snow at our house in Roanoke, Virginia for our second big snowstorm in 2010. My time lapse didn’t quite work out when I shoveled the first time Friday night, so this is from the second go-around of shoveling Saturday.

Three things I learned:

- Should’ve made the interval between shots less – maybe more like 10 seconds. I had it at 25 seconds.

- Might have been a good idea to shovel towards the camera, rather than away from it, just so my back isn’t to the camera all the time. My usual habit is to shovel towards the lawn, though.

- Could’ve adjusted the ISO and aperture so there was less shadow on me.

Song is “Snow (Hey Oh)” by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

In trying to shoot our annual family photo, we got a little restless and decided to have some fun.

See my last post: CNN should be more cautious in breaking “news”

It’s a rip-off of this classic Chris Farley sketch!

Now sure – most comedy builds off previous works. But this is just copying – it’s not anything new. Even worse, I think, is that it’s not even funny.

The episode featured the audio and video of that clip as the closing credits music. The performance is by a group called Canvas.

It took me a week to find this, but it’s definitely the best part of last weekend’s SNL. I don’t know why NBC didn’t post it. Watch it before they find this one, though.
