I'm sure it should be 'Kids saddle up for fun' but maybe it's a Freudian slip from a kiddie bondage loving sub-editor?

Oscar's Mario party
Oscar must feel like royalty after celebrating his second birthday this year. Above shows Oscar as Mario, while below are the cakes and pinata, as well as our version of pin the tail on the donkey.
No pressure, Mum!
This poem -- while a lovely sentiment -- puts mums on a very high pedestal methinks.
Soothing
Looking at this I can imagine cool, damp air. Seen on a bushwalk through the Border Ranges National Park.
I like this
Beaut tracking shots of riders on a beautiful track.
Once I heard an experienced Steadicam operator say that you use the movement of what you're filming to disguise the movement of the camera. Which is probably why handheld camerawork only suits certain types of scenes.
Compare and contrast
I've been having a quiet weekend and revisiting some favourite music, including a couple of concert videos and some of my own stuff.

This track is a remix I did in 2007 for the ninja.trax series.
The original track was a performance-piece also recorded for ninja.trax. Below is a video I made of one of my rehearsals.

Bikinis still make news
Previously I observed how news websites often run pictures of women in bikinis.
I couldn't resist sharing this trifecta :)

Some idiot
Some idiot gave my kids recorders. I think the recorder must be the most terrible sounding instrument ever. (Those Japanese flutes are a close second though.)
There's good reason you never see a lead recorder in music these days. The only decent contemporary recorder playing I've heard is on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' BloodSugarSexMagik.
Those plastic recorders given to kids in primary school music classes are the worst sounding of a terrible instrument. They're shrill and kids don't understand the subtlety required to blow on them. When you factor in that kids can hear higher frequencies than adults, you must acknowledge how cruel it is to make entire classrooms of children inflict these piercing sounds on each other.
I distinctly remember hating music classes as soon as they introduced recorders. I loved singing but recorders scared me away from learning music until I got my hands on a guitar in year seven.
