Man With The Ugly Hat Book Reviews

by Kent Griswold on February 13th, 2011. 8 Comments

In this new lo-fi episode of “Man With The Ugly Hat” we cover books from Gerald Rowan, Jay Shafer, Dan Mulfinger, David and Jeanie Stiles, Suzanne Lewis, Colin Beaven, and many more. Also, for kicks/my own amusement this vid was solar lit originally, but the lights I had were a little weak, so I ultimately canned the idea (for now).

This was also shot in my currently-being-rennovated 6′ by 6′ foyer (made HUGELY of freebie/recycled materials) which was so small I could only position the lights in one little area, which lead to them casting the ever-present shadows, but hey, what do you expect for a video made for $4.99 (the horrible hat I briefly don).

    Deek, may I just say that I think you’re adorable and I know you are married, but I was wondering if there are any others at home like you…?

    Could you include links to books and websites mentioned in each vid?

      I’ll see if I can get that info from Deek, I linked a few through Amazon below the video, but I did not search for them all. One he said was out of print…

    Hey- thanks for watching- sorry, no links- but flip cam’s edit technology is REAL limited- and transfering their MP4 footage really doesn’t work well…

    Love your videos, and I love that hat! I’ve borrowed some of those books from the library so often it feels like I actually own them. You can track the usage on the library website, sad to say hardly anybody else borrows them. Oh wait, that’s a good thing for me! I often thought of leaving a little note in the books to see if it brings any new tiny house friends in the area but so far I’m too chicken.

    I love the note idea- you should do it!
