After an 80 year old tradition, Chief Illiniwek will retire his headdress after Wednesday’s game.

Facts (from Wikipedia)

  • The first performance occurred on October 30, 1926.
  • The feathers in the chief’s headdress are actually dyed turkey feathers.
  • 35 students have preformed the role as the chief. The only women to portray the chief was Idelle Stith Brooks in 1943 due to the shortage of male students during WWII.
  • None of the performers has been Native American.

    I am trying out a new flashed based video service called Vimeo. YouTube is huge, time to find something that not everyone knows about. Vimeo seems to be different in that you get a RSS feed to your videos, the gui for the video player is super clean, and quality seems to be much better.

    The downfall was that I could not upload a MP4 (quicktime) file, so I had to re-encoded the files to 512k 640×480 WMV (windows). I think you might be able to get away with using mpeg.

    Okay, I am ready to do a new podcast, but I do not know what direction to go with…

    In the queue of ideas:

    1. Mountain Biking with Shoo - Fade in’s and out’s of me riding by bike, killer 80’s music in the background, jumping some hills.. Maybe a crash or two. And helmets.
    2. Nerd-alert! Windows Vista demoed for the masses.

    3. Boy-o-Buddy - Montage of Buddy tearing things up and playing fetch. This is a given. These come periodically.
    4. Springfield Nightlife - A look at downtown Springfield for those who don’t get out during the weekends.

    5. Other.

    Just a mish-mash of Buddy footage and random stuff.

    Enjoy!

    Not a bad try.

    Doing a little search on some new podcasts and I came across this one: Crash Test Kitchen. I like it and I like this recipe. May have to pick up some feta and peas next time I am at the store.

    I am big fan of ninjas. Ever since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Double Dragon for Nintendo, and Blood Sport the movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

    Stumbled across this podcast as I was looking for a new pair of ninja sweats.

    Tonight is the big game with the 6th-ranked Illini vs. the 7th-ranked Spartans.

    A little “Chief” to get us all excited for the game. I took this video at the game vs. SEMO.

    It goes without saying “I am a nerd.” This is one of my favorite Xmas presents, my popcorn maker. Everyone come over Saturday night, I’ll make some popcorn.
