03-02-09: Today Barbara Walters told the ladies of The View about Twitter, causing it to crash, and Skittles launched a brand new Social Media-centric home page that is highly dependent on it. New York was on the business end of a giant snowstorm leaving an icy 7 inch blanket over everything.

I am so jealous! I can’t remember the last time I saw snow or even the last time I was in NY. No wait…let me take that back. It was about 4 years ago. I live in South Florida and am dying to get out of here and into what i just saw on your video. Yes I know I am crazy but I can’t take the flat land and sunshine anymore. Today I was at the beach. Wish I had been ice skating instead. Thanks for the winter video. LOVED IT!

I like how you edited it so the cymbal crash came in right when Chalupa turned around. Good shit.

Great video. Sucks that YouTube and Warner Music Group stripped the audio. Good thing Vimeo still rocks.

I miss the snow. I don’t miss snow in March, but I miss the 4 seasons per year thing. Also, Muse is my latest musical discovery, so kudos for the jam selection.

“This is the EEENNNND of the WORLD!!” hahahaa…I love the music with the snow shots.
Q’s….1) How long does it take you to create your SvLogs? and then to edit them? 2) What are you doing to ‘protect’ the camera from the weather elements? 3) Can Chalupa be even more cute???!!
It was 90 in az…bleck…I want a little season, please, thank you…time to go watch some Fallon.
p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE’S MOM!!

Did your travel systems grind to a halt like they did in the UK??!!
Please God this doesn’t come our way again, it’s been feeling too spring like recently!

Wow! You took that video? Steve the camera man, too, eh? Jack of all trades!
I just sent you a tweet saying “Check this out” it’s about a camera. Thought you might like it. It’s freaking cool!

Steve – What model camera are you using (specifically for those exterior shots)? That stuff looks AMAZING.
And nice choice on the Muse. Muse makes such great soundtrack music.

I’m using a Canon HF10. It’s really sweet, I love the thing. Thanks about the Muse – I love them. Sucks tho – YouTube just deleted my audio on that video so I’m uploading a Muse-less version.

Thanks, Steve. I’m eyeballing upgrading my video equipment and looking for a high-quality, relatively low-cost option. That might be it!

good vid steve. i had no idea what the whole skittles thing was about til after the whole buzz was done with. i somehow got sucked into it when i received a few followers after simply asking what it was all about. i’d be interested to see a graph showing the skittles sales spike for this week. nice shots of the city. it was the last big hurrah, apparently.
