Have I posted this before? Anyway…this guy is really good. He records, alters, and dubs over his own voice/beatboxing. The result is a song created in real-time, and it’s actually really impressive. Check out an example of his below—

Hahah….good stuff ;)

I just though I’d share a web page I check out every morning. It’s called the Astronomy Picture of the Day (click on that for the link).  They have an astronomy related picture every day with an explanation from an expert in the field.  There are some absolutely mind blowing pictures…my favorite so far is the one from April 3rd…although today’s is pretty insane too!!!

This little camera/camcorder is incredible.  I have been planning to get one with my REI dividend+membership sale, and with videos like this, it’s easy to see why…

A good review for the camera can be seen here ENGADGET REVIEW
I don’t really want to go into all of the pros and cons of this little gadget except to say, I am completely impressed. The design leaves a lot to be desired in my view. The boxy look, depth, and weight could be better…common GoPro…everyone else is doing streamlined bullet-cam-styled cams…why still the box? The top latch seems very flimsy to me too, but I hear the package holds up well, and they have a very loyal following both with the new HD version, and older standard definition one.


The thing can go up to something like 170ft deep in water, has a heater (that’s right I said heater) to keep the battery functioning in cold temperatures, can take 5mp photos both manually and at intervals, and can take HD video at up to 60fps!!! The attraction for me is the ability to mount it anywhere…for example, check this video out…this fellow turned it into a “chase cam” by putting it in a little wind-sock sort of device that follows behind his paraglider (attached to the trailing edge break lines)…

Or this one, where another person has attached it to the top of his wing…

Again, after seeing it in person, I was a little disappointed at the physical design of it, but it’s easy to forget when you weigh that with it’s good sides…this camera/camcorder has truly been impressive so far, with features, and applications that seem too good to be true for the price…
…almost forgot to mention…”early 2010″ GoPro plans to add accessories to the GoPro HD that hook into the back, which will allow it to have an; lcd screen, extended battery, and who knows what else…

Anyone have any personal opinions on it, or have used it themselves?…please feel free to leave comments!
Cheers,

I was actually searching through a WordPress support forum for the theme I’m using when I ran across this WP site.  I have always been a big fan of projectors over their big screen counterparts, but they cost a pretty penny to keep them running.  When I went to the University of Washington, they allowed you to rent out these things free of charge.  My buddies and I would rent them for parties at the house to watch movies and play games on…sometimes having a couple in different rooms.  Free = awesome, but if you own one, you know that when you have to replace the bulb, it will cost you!

Enter the world of laser projectors.  It goes without saying, they will be more energy efficient, and will certainly have a life span that will trump the old bulb projectors.
