Shopping Cart Experiment
Photo-A-Day #1451

This morning Eva and I went for a trip to the supermarket. I had really wanted to take my bike out and experiment with the Ultra Intervalometer script for the Canon Hacks on my SD 800is. But it was raining, so off to the supermarket we went. I decided to experiment with the hack while at the supermarket. I rigged up my camera to the shopping cart and aimed it back at Eva and myself. I set the camera for a 20 second interval. Then it was off to do our shopping. Here is a video of what that looked like.

The video is also an explanation as to why I was not doing Wii bowling tonight. Was anyone, other than Dina from Market Leverage TV, aware that tonight I was going to do two games of Wii bowling to raise money for the Niemann Pick Disease Type C?

Market Leverage is doing a Charity Bowl-A-Thon on Tuesday night from 7:00pm – 9:00pm EST. I will do two games of Wii Bowling that night and I am asking you too please sponsor me at $0.10 a pin. You can sponsor one game or both. You can pick game 1 or game 2 to sponsor or both. The most you would possibly owe after game #1 would be $30.00 and that is if I bowl a perfect game. Let’s just say that I’m not a perfect game bowler. Let’s also say that combined game 1 and game 2 might not even equal a perfect game. I’ll set up the webcam and broadcast through stickam. Once the games are over I’ll post a video recap and let you know how much you should donate directly to the Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund. You can donate online or via the mail, it is up to you. Here is more info about the Market Leverage Charity Bowl-A-Thon

Dina Riccobono of Market Leverage sent me information on a Charity Bowl-A-thon that ML is doing on Tuesday March 31st.

Market Leverage is sponsoring this Charity Bowl-A-Thon for the family of one of their publishers. Brisan and Parker Stults are the two eldest sons of Mike and Jennifer Stults. Brisan and Parker were recently been diagnosed with a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease called “Niemann Pick Type C Disease (NPC)” or also known as the”Childhood Alzheimer’s”. The outcome…Fatal.

I decided to sponsor Tim Jones as he plays on Tuesday night as well as Dina Riccobono. I also sent Dina a package of goodies to give to participants including some BenSpark.com hats and Photo-A-Day Calendars. Market Leverage is also doing an online raffle to raise money and they have some great prizes. I really want to win the Flip Mino HD. What Can I say I can’t get enough of Flips with my face on them.

After creating the video above I went back to my 1st experiment with the Ultra Intervalometer and decided to redo that video and add in all the images. You can see all the images on Flickr including the GeoTagged map. But here is the video putting everything together along with an explanation of what I did to rig up the camera. I swear I’ll get this on a bike soon.

Sitting wherever he pleases
Photo-A-Day #1424

Oliver has been the subject of my photos lately. While I probably should have gone outside during the day today and shot some photos of the snow, I decided to stay nice and warm inside the office. Yes, I went into the office today. I know, it was crazy, I certainly could have worked from home. There were a couple of reasons I went into the Office.

#1.) I wanted to work out. Here’s the thing about working out, I used to work out over 3 hours a day back in 2000-2001. I would work my 8-4 job then go right to the gym till about 7:30 or so and then come home for my night job and play video games most nights. I could do that because I had just burned about 1000 calories. My workouts are not that ambitious at the moment but eventually when I can get the rhythm of the elliptical back in my veins I will be cranking through those cals pretty fast. I work out at work because hardly anyone else uses the gym. It is a pretty decent one too, they have a recumbent bike (my favorite), a rowing machine (gotta get ready for kayak season), a universal machine (I’ll tackle that eventually), Elliptical (great workout from those) and some treadmills but I really don’t have much use for those since you can pretty much walk or run anywhere (well, once the snow stops falling around here).

I was able to catch up on a few of my podcasts today as well. I watched a few episodes of Average Betty and some Dilbert Episodes. Any excuse I can give to mention Average Betty I’m gonna take it, she rocks. I just take my iTouch in its iFrogz sleeve and watch show after show as I bike for 30 minutes. It makes the time fly by.

The second reason I went in was because of the big project I am working on. I was supposed to meet with someone very important but ended up doing everything via e-mail. Something I would have done a week or so ago had I not been told otherwise by countless people. Well it worked out via a simple e-mail and that was that. Now on to more pieces of the project.

I’ve got quite a few decent posts lately that you really should go back a few days and check out, especially the one about the plug ins to make your blog look better on the iPhone. That is worth a read for sure.

The other post is the one right before this one about the Charity Bowl-A-Thon from Market Leverage. I received an e-mail from the awesome Dina Riccobono regarding helping out and I said sure. Dina told me today that this blog was mentioned on Market Leverage TV today. My blog image was up there with Missy Ward, how every cool.

also wanted to mention this.

Is this a sign?

Is it a sign of things to come?
