Guy Walks Across America
First off…once again, I apologize for my lack of posts lately. Hey, it’s summer and I’ve been goofing off a bunch. Well, I guess I’ve been goofing off if you consider landscaping my backyard with 22 tons of rock, 3 tons of flagstone, 8 yards of gravel, 12 yards of dirt and 13 yards of [...]
AT-AT Day Afternoon
For those of you that don’t know, “AT-AT” stands for All Terrain Armored Transport. It helps if you’re a Star Wars nerd. These were first introduced in The Empire Strikes Back. The following is a very cool video made using a toy AT-AT.
Idea Factory
If you’ve ever wondered where good ideas come from…
The Milky Way (no, not the candy bar)
UPDATE: The original image link that I had appears to have gone down. I found an even better one, however, that includes markers for some of the prominent features. It’s hosted at Cal Tech so I should think it will stay live for quite some time.
Time to get my geek on again. The image you [...]
Pixels
Update: The original video I linked was removed from YouTube for some reason. I found another copy of it that is actually of better quality. So, if you had already tryed to watch this video and got an error message, give it another go.
I don’t want my site to become simply a long list of [...]
The Bloom Box

Everything Is Cool In Slow Motion
This is a very well made compilation video of many different sports all shot in slow motion. Very nice.
Garages Of The Rich And Famous
I’ve got a 3-car garage. Even with all that space, however, it’s still a wonder that we can park even ONE car in it. If you spend a few days cleaning it up and organizing things, it might…just MIGHT, look like one of the garages in this image gallery. Oh yeah, I almost forgot: you [...]
National Geographic
Being as the tag line for this site is “Photos And Other Stuff”, I better actually post some photo related “stuff.”
In the photographic world, the photographers of National Geographic are revered almost as Gods. They are among the best of the best and only a chosen few ever make it to that level. More than [...]
A Small Life in Saxon, Switzerland
A while back I wrote a post regarding the use of tilt-shift in photography. Somewhere along the line I think I also posted a time lapse video that also used the tilt-shift technique. I came across another video today that I think is almost magical. It’s like watching a miniature world go by. The name [...]
