If you are reading this at michaelverdi.com you will have noticed things look a little different. That’s because it just felt like time for a change – things didn’t look right to me anymore. I guess you can also explain it as backlash from spending days on end designing the new Freevlog. Anyway, there is more to this post. This video was orginally posted to Secret Lair on March 2 and now I’m rethinking the whole multiple sites thing. 1. I don’t have time with all the other things I’m involved in. 2. There’s no reason to not post everything here. Keeps everything clean and simple.
Look

I like the new look Michael.
Interesting how the look of the car shots feel similar to the Tilt Shift photo technique.
Nice.
i like it
Hey David, the last shot there is fake tilt shift. I just blurred the top and the bottom in Final Cut Pro.
so…
is there a way for us to check the older vlogs?
Well hell. I didnt even know that could be done with video and it would look the same. Thanks for telling how you did that. Very cool.
What do you mean by “check the older vlogs?” Are you having trouble finding my other posts? Sorry about that. I just wanted something that looked a little less “blog like.” Everything is still here – I just have it set to display one per page. You can click the link for “previous entries” if your on the front page or if you’re viewing a permalink there are links at the top for previous and next entries. Also I still have my video archive – link is at the bottom of each page. And if you click the sitemap link at the bottom of the page you’ll see links for monthly archives.
Hi there…
Byron here… new to freevlog.org and node 101 community. MV, I like the new look. Did you use Word Press to do this? Cool stuff. Interesting cntnt… keep it coming.
Yeah this is a WordPress theme – Tiny by Ben de Groot.
I like it, alot!
Wow!
Sleek.
Slick.
Tiny!
Wow, very cool look.
This video is extremely cool too. Everything looks miniature. Is that because of the blurring, you think?
I want to reinvent and simplify my blog, too.
Oh yeah it’s totally because of the blurring. Here’s the post from Boing Boing where I first saw the effect.
Those look like some toy cars. It looks more like a model of a city than a real shot.
I said the same thing as them looking like toys or models when I commented on this on graymattergravy
i was gonna say
i’ve seen this video before
but where and when?
the secret lair, which when you switch the letters is liar!
Hey check it out – a Flickr set of fake tilt-shift photos.
Hey Michael. Love the new look, By the way just got May’s Issue of Wired, and your face is in it, pretty awesome. Must feel cool to be in Wired. later.
Michael, like your new look. I also like your comment about wanting to look “less blog like”. I am currently reworking my site layout to breakfree from the standard look, and to be more user-friendly. Anything that improves usability is a good thing.
