If you want to hear me...

... you can listen to "Thinking Aloud" of KBYU FM. It will air on Monday at 11am and 8pm on Classical 89.1 KBYUFM.  I went with Brad Barber and being the generous person that he is he invited me to talk with him and Marcus (the host) to talk about our experience and everything.  The interview went great and Brad did an excellent job at describing things well.  He has a knack for being calm and level-headed.  Meanwhile, I was super nervous and probably sounded stupid.  I will let you decide for yourself.  Check it out on Monday and know that you can hear my goofy voice on the radio then!

PS I really do love the radio and I hope that it does not die.

Another beautiful video...

... from my favorite video community, Vimeo.

Late night...

... but I got results this time.  So, I stayed up late last night again but I was having too much fun.  This is the new video that I made for the Tipping Bucket (a one and a half day miracle start to finish).  It was a ton of fun.  Sometimes I wish I would have studied animation because I think it is so much fun.  Maybe I can learn it in my spare time?  Ha.

Here you go.

If you have a buck, help build a school in Ethiopia.

I am up...

... and it is way too late.

These are the things that I do for the Tipping Bucket.
I do like them.

The video is something new that I haven't tried ever before, so you will have to tell me what you think.

While I am up and the video is rendering I would like to take this time to apologize to all of my friends and family.  You see, because I am working on a billion different projects (Kenya, Uganda, Tipping Bucket, Conservation Conversation, Central Utah Gardens, HELP International stuff, JRCB Law School, and BYUTV) every single brain cell that I own goes to thinking and managing all of those projects.  There is planning and producing and sketching and stressing and bureaucrating and saving and spending and communicating and creating and destroying and a bunch of other things.  Needless to say I get very worn out and I forget things and I question my sanity.  I am looking forward to going to Kenya and loosing myself in working there and concentrating on one thing.  It will be nice.

Until then, please forgive me if work is all I will talk to you about.  I have forgotten to talk about anything else because work is all that I think about.  I am obsessed and I don't live a well rounded life (right now).  I hope this will change fairly soon and we can have other conversations about other important things like bugs or the weather.  Thanks for your patience.

Sincerely,

Crazy Travis

Just a little brag...

... about myself. These are my grades for this past semester.
I am awesome.

I also got a small Dean's Scholarship for spring semester and fall semester.  Yeah!

Beautiful...

... and amazing. I love this video SO much.

Home again! JUNE 30, 2010

I am NOT looking forward to spending the night in LAX. I don't like LA that much and their airport isn't exactly the most comfortable place to sleep. I am looking forward to London. I am also looking forward to the fact that really we don't spend that much time in airports. I do like the overnight flights and how direct we are flying. I hope that I can negotiate some kind of sweet seating arrangement so I have legroom. If you have any tips for getting good seats, sleeping on planes or in airports or eating in the same, they would be appreciated.

Thanks!
