The Colors Duke! The Colors!
Not on Explore or anything, but I absolutely love this photo. I set it as my wallpaper.
Timelapse Experiment
Short clip I made with multiple photo exposures, this was a short and successful experiment. I will be doing more work and longer runtimes.
Comcast Still Being Naughty
Read this chat between customer support and an anonymous consumer and you will see that Comcast is not playing fair. If you pay for ‘unlimited’ internet use a month don’t you expect unlimited internet use? What if you paid for unlimited internet use but are limited to 200gb a month on bandwidth? Hmmm… What do you think?
joe vs. wild
I recently watched a couple of episodes of Man vs. Wild and thought how cool this guy was. I was also surprised at how many survival techniques he was incorporating that I had already known. I did learn a lot. One thing I admired about him was his ability to eat almost anything in the wild. With that said I was sitting tonight on the lanai (Porch in Hawaiian) of the church listening to the preacher when I noticed that some ants had gathered around my soda can that I was sipping on during church. I thought to myself. I wonder what these ants taste like. So I tasted them. The first couple of times I just swallowed them like a pill but by the sixth one I decided to roll one around and try to taste it. Not to bad, actually a little sour. So, some of you think I’m weird. Whatever. At least I know that I can survive on ants. Kara was sitting next to me and thought it was kind of gross until I offered her one. She accepted. She had two in total but at least she can say that she had ants before.
I did an internet search wondering if what I did might make me sick. I came up with the following results. Some of them were pretty funny so I thought I would share.
Have any of you ever eaten ants? And if you have will you try?

Software Exploited by Pirates Goes to Work for Hollywood – New York Times
Bram Cohen and friends are poised to unveil the BitTorrent Entertainment Network on Monday, according to The New York Times, which has pricing details and even a few initial observations. According to the Times, Fox, Paramount, Warner, and MGM will contribute a combined total of some 3,000 new and classic movies to the service.
Finally it seems as if Hollywood will begin to embrace the technology they have been working so hard to fight against.
having fun, in waikiki…
These guys were standing on a corner in Waikiki trying to raise money for college. It was hilarious and they were actually getting more attention then the professional buskers. They were strumming on a Uke and singing various songs not in unison, making up things. It was quite funny. They were wearing nothing more than their boxers and the kids costume purchased at the nearby ABC store. Quite hilarious.

I was asked to put together an anniversary video for my church. It took me about three hours of messing around.
The Seeing Tongue
The Seeing Tongue is an experimental technology that allows blind people to see through their tongue. This is achieved through cameras that then send electrical pulses that are felt by the tongue. Soon the brain is able to ‘read’ these impulses and create an image in the mind.

Worlds First Wheelchair Backflip!
Most amazing thing I’ve seen in a long time. A kid who isn’t just messing around in a wheelchair, he really is paralyzed goes to skate parks and doing tricks on his wheelchair. You have to see this. Then he claims to have completed the world’s first wheelchair backflip.
The First Blu-Ray Movie on BitTorrent
For the first time, a ‘cracked’ Blu-Ray movie has been uploaded to BitTorrent. And no, it’s not that ‘Vivid’ title that the TWiT hosts seem to be oh so familiar with. It’s just the opposite. The first Blu-Ray movie on BitTorrent is the children’s animation flick, Ice Age 2.
