Downinthewell’s Arnold Benedict recently travelled to Thailand in order to investigate the dark underbelly of the toenail trade – and was never heard from again.  This footage is all that was found – edited by the very talented Egon (Uselfrucht?).

This is what happens when you are unclear about what you would like your friends to do with your video archives. There will be more to come.

Site friend Adam Macy is putting on the play ‘Den Of Thieves’ at The Improv Space in Westwood CA every saturday in April.  I never wanted to see a play, until i saw this audition tape.  Will somebody please cast this lunatic!?

I was unfortunate enough to lose a dear close friend (my Kodak Playsport Zx3 – a loyal – yet somewhat unreliable friend) in the middle of the ascent up Angels Landing in Zion National Park, UT.  I was fortunate enough to have the foresight to bring my brand new, never before used GoPro camera along with me – fully charged.  The following video is the result of a long hike up…and a breathtaking view.

If you’ve never been, please find time to go. It’s amazing, and well worth the trip. Enjoy the National Parks before they’re strip mines and oil fields.

Stay tuned for the final moments of the Kodaks life.

And, like an old dog does – i’ve gotten another Zx3 (against my better judgement) – just for kicks.

I have seen a lot of April Fools pranks gone bad, and a lot of bad April Fools pranks gone worse – the internet is full of them.  This is my insignificant addition.  A day dedicated to pulling pranks on myself.  The world wide web didn’t ask for this…but it sure has it now.

email me.  I like it.  things get lonely here on the range.

Have you ever wanted an excuse to fly a four passenger Cherokee single propeller airplane? I never actually thought about it really, until travel zoo provided me with a severely discounted coupon right around birthday time for the Girl. So i took it as an opportunity to check a non-existent item off my non-existent list (this thing’s never going to get finished if i never actually start it…and then continuously add stuff).

So as a gift to myself, and anyone who may have thought i was Dead as a result of this journey – i present a less than short (7 minutes) video of the experience. I’d like to thank the friendly (if not a little unorganized) staff at Encore Flight Academy for doing what they promised to do (return me safely to the ground), and my nerves for being made of something similar to steel.

Have fun.

Stay tuned for a few more short edits from recent (and not so recent) trips and etc.  I’ve got a couple bigger projects out of my way and can begin tackling these smaller ones more regularly.

I get bored just like you do – send me some links of some things you do when you get bored downinthewell@gmail.com
