I admit I was skeptical about making a “Muvee.” I recently spoken to the CEO of the company as well as some others who are creating editing tools to allow consumers to take pictures and video clips and create something snazzy. I scoffed at the idea, but after using it, I have to admit it’s fun and allows some level of art without much pain. The Muvee below is just some loosely assembled pictures from last week’s World Baseball Classic. It also allows you to import video (not MPEG4, however). I was surprised that Muvee let me output to .mov which is perfect for uploading to a social video site or for allowing easy downloads by others. My one issue with the software is that it did not allow me to import mp3 files; I had to convert the music from mp3 to .wma.
2006 Spring Training for the Chicago Cubs came to an end at Hohokam Park in Mesa as they played the Arizona Diamondbacks. For Cubs fans, hope springs eternal. Featuring “The Cubs Are Gonna Do It in 2006” by Silverleaf, here’s a short look at the final game of the Cactus League season.

New Belgium Beer asks, “Would you trade your car for a bike?” Well, that’s the underlying theme of the Tour de Fat, a ballyhoo of bikes and beer. Seems from what we can figure out about Austin, it’s the perfect stop on the tour. Held in Town Lake (which I don’t think is a real lake), the event was a gathering of bike aficionados, folks who like beer and those just interested in a good time on an early Fall Saturday. There were bikes, plenty of beer and music. This clip features The Reals, from Colorado and The Story Of, a band from Austin.
Our 2007 season baseball season, which started off in Spring Training and includes stops in Memphis, Cleveland and Albuquerque, ended with the 2007 Arizona Fall League Championship. The game featured the Surprise Rafters against the Phoenix Desert Dogs, perennial league champs. The game was close until the late innings when the Dogs pulled away and won 7-2.
The day before the big game, the Valley (of the Sun) is full of events related to Super Bowl 42. There are parties (to which we are not invited), private functions (such as one hosted by Chris Berman) and events such as two flag football games for charity. We went to the Celebrity Flag Football Challenge which was hosted by former NFL star, Doug Flutie (on behalf of his charity). For some unknown reason, the game was out in Surprise at the spring training home of the Royals and Rangers. The game was really fun with DMC performing at halftime. We actually arrived at halftime and missed the Flutie Brothers Band but saw the second half which featured Flutie, Chad Johnson, Willis McGahee, A.J. Feeley and others… I am truly impressed with how the NFL players handle themselves with the fans. They are far more cordial and natural and don’t seemed annoyed by the fan worship. Cardinals kicker Neil Rackers stood in the concourse and chatted with fans for 10-15 minutes just having a good time
