Dolphin Ride Videos posted...

On Friday, Feb 13th, Chris and I took the Dolphin Discovery Excursion from our cruise.
http://www.dolphindiscovery.com

It was one of the most amazing events of my life.

I've already posted to Flickr the photos of the kiss, hug and dance. These videos are of the Foot Push Boogie Board ride and Dorsal Tow.

We also had random fun with the Dolphin, getting chances to pet and play with him. (Ok, he mostly came along and splashed us ;)

History has been made. In a good way.

"Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked so Obama could run. Obama is running so our children can fly."

I've seen this twice so far, one said it was on NPR as part of man in the street interviews:

Person recieved the following text message: "Rosa (Parks) sat so Martin Luther King could walk. MLK walked so Obama could run. Obama is running so our children can fly."

The 2nd post simplified it a bit and makes you think about it harder with the subject line form.


Either way, Wow!

...just wish there was attribution...

OMG Mythbusters...

They blow sh**...stuff up.
They shoot it out of cannons of various sizes.
They build rigs to do high speed, low speed or power tests.
They risk injury and even "death", Adam gets hurt LOTs.

But I never ever thought to see one of them INSIDE a giant Tesla coil while it was turned on and directing the lightning bolt


So cool to see.

Oooh, I like my new camera.

Long story short...



On our last day, at the last place we visited in Yellowstone,
I fell and my Nikon D70 took a nose dive and stopped working.



So at Best Buy, on a 24 months, no interest, plan,
I purchased a Nikon D300.



I've spent the last couple of weeks learning what it can do.



Here is one of the first shots I took that really shows off it's low light capability:

Everything old is new again...

Wow, we are watching the MTA Video Music Awards and there is remake after remake flowing by.

Even Kid rock is using the music of Werewolves of London for a song.

Give a friend some click throughs.

I have a friend working as background actor. Now, as he would testify, while you get awfully cool stories to tell at parties, you don't really get much in the way of Benjamins out of it.

Friend has just made a YouTube video as a gig for a ticket-selling company hoping to drum up business. The more hits, the more exposure he gets.

So if you have two minutes of your life to spare and want a good chuckle, click here and enjoy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRBj8Gitpbw

And if you felt it was a worthy enough chuckle to pass along, please do so, but DON'T embed the video -- the point is for the company to get the click-throughs. Just put in a link.

If what he says about Dodger Stadium is true, I don't want to go near the place.

Baycon Panel Schedule...

I'm doing 4 wildly different panels this year:


Fri. 5:30 PM Bayshore East Party On, Dudes!

Do you want to go to a party? Are you having a party? Come check out the listing of all the parties, and meet some of the organizers ...


Sun. 10:00 AM Camino Real Best Presents For Geeks

We all know a few geeks. :) But what do you do when you need to get them a gift? Our panelists give their suggestions and take those of the audience for discussion.


Sun. 5:30 PM Lafayette/San Tomas/Lawrence Post-Literate Science Fiction

Is it really important what medium the work is in? Does the increase in visual media imply a decline in literacy? Are we becoming a transliterate society, with the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media? Is this good?


Mon. 11:30 AM Lafayette/San Tomas/Lawrence Pirate Eye for the Landlubber Guy

Join our expert pirate clothiers as they outfit a typical landlubber or two in high piratical style.

Test of Multiply.com cross posting....

L & K, pointed me towards this site.

Can import your Blogger & LJ posts, and cross-post out to them as well, plus some others I don't use.

This is a test of the later functionality.
