Appalachian Trail, NJ

An elaborate wooden walking path over a marshland valley in New Jersey. I'm told the bridge was funded by a man who's son had died and was an avid hiker.

Ninja goes fast in cold weather. Not really up to full speed, but he has fun.

Finally. We are doing this in HD for real now.

Robot Water Canon: I want one

I don't know what I would even do with such a device, but now that I know it exists, I must have one.

Girls Kick Ass

This is how the coolest girl in town spends her Sunday afternoon. As her awesomeness, Drew Barrymore, once said in a classic McG epic: "and that's kickin' your ass."

Ladies Night At the Track

Media Barrons puts together a group of professional race car drivers who teach a group of girls how to drive race cars. What can be more awesome than that?

Tech notes:
Image quality:Still no ability to upload the actual 720p to Youtube via the phone without syncing it to a computer (which I refuse to do so far). More research continues.

iMovie Mobile: the default 'cross-fade' is extremely annoying. when you remove the cross fade, the video clip does not revert to the beginning, but instead trims the head. this is compounded byt eh faxct that iMovie will not always play a clip from the same place. that is to say, to say that is is not frame accurate is a huge understatement. If you use a clip from the very first frame of it, iMovie tends to trim the head, and just won't play the very first frames. Very annoying if the action you want is at the very head of a clip. As with everyone else using iMovie Mobile, the lack of audio editing is very noticeably missing from this software. I'm hoping Reel Director's next version will up the game for mobile editing.

Macro

testing the close-range limits of the iPhone 4's lens. I put it at about 4 inches. (10 cm). Pretty good, and as usual, the jerky 'rack focus' the lens does is amusing, but odd.
