Fall 2007 RTVF 185 Video Blog Entry #4

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007 — 12:52pm (PST)

In this entry, recorded while visiting in Sacramento the Friday before last, I talk about the view in Sacramento's Capitol Park and tiredly ramble a bit about the sizes of squirrels, once even referring to the collective plurality of squirrels in Capitol Park by the singular "is" just like a grammatical pleb. OK, so I was referring to the population of squirrels in a singular sense, but still, that particular combination of verb and noun is irregular and as such, it stands out to me as a clumsy, tired mistake regardless of whether it is actually gramatically correct.

This is the second video blog entry I recorded with my mobile telephone, which records only exceptionally low-quality video. I apologize for the low quality; I used my other camera for my next entry.

Please Note: I use both organized Web standards such as HTML 4.01 Strict, which has been a World Wide Web Consortium recommendation since 1999, and de facto Web standards such as Robots Exclusion and Flash Player (for which Adobe regularly publishes ubiquity data here, here, and here). If you are using a graphical Web browser, but no video appears for you in this entry, it probably means at least one of four things: that your Web browser is obsolete (i.e., that it does not support valid HTML 4.01 Strict), that you do not have the Flash Player installed (you can check here), that the version of the Flash player that you have installed is obsolete (you can check both your version and the current versions for several platforms here), or that the video is somehow being blocked (e.g., via a browser extension such as FlashBlock or a user style sheet).
