    One of my good friends, Jules Older, is in the midst of re-inventing himself. He has never been one to be shy and has always been able to figure out how to make money freelancing at something that has LED his wife and him to some 1000 adventures.

    Here is a assemblage of Jules and Effin Older’s quirky videos, all with a traveling bent. Naturally, he is traveling around the same cervix of the forest where he lives, so these musca volitans are all in the San Francisco area, more or less.

    He visit William Randolph Hearst Castle, take a look at a secret local language and visit the world’s smallest gallery.

    San Simeon: mister Hearst’s cabin

    Jules and Effin take us on a two-minute trip through one of America’s most famous castles, William Randolph Hearst castle in Calif. This is a house on the exchange seacoast of Calif. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

    Designed by architect Julia Morgan for William Randolph Hearst—a newspaper big businessman from 1919 until 1947, the estate was eventually donated to the state of Calif. in the late 50s. It’s original name was “La Cuseta Encantada” , but is sometimes referred to as “the ranch” or “the cabin.” It attracts around a million visitor a year.


    Boontling in Boonville, CA Uh, yeah. While linguistically and anthropologically, it’s virtually impossible, the tiny town of Boonville, Calif. has its own linguistic communication welcome to Boontling. Here’s your first harkin session.

    I find this no-so-secret dialect amazing. I’ve heard about dialect in Europe were neighbour couldn’t understand other neighbour from across the street, but this is one of the first times I have heard about the same phenomenon in the U.S.
