Hug your kids

Hug your kids
Photo-A-Day #1452

Just hug them and keep them safe. There was a major tragedy that was simply horrifying that happened in MA this weekend and the details of the case have made my heart so sick. Then I read about a tragedy in California and it is just so senseless. When I heard about these things the only thing on my mind was getting home and hugging Eva. I’d go through anything to protect her.

Tomorrow night in Florida there will be a group of people bowling to raise money for a family who would do anything to help protect their two sons. The Stults family is struggling very hard to raise money for treatments for their sons Brisan and Parker. Market Leverage is sponsoring a charity Bowl-A-Thon in addition to some BenSpark.com hats and Photo-A-Day Calendars I’m sponsoring one of the bowlers, my friend Tim Jones. While I cannot be there in person I am going to try and bowl with them on a virtual level.

Sponsor me as I Wii Bowl as a Virtual participant in the Market Leverage Bowl-A-Thon for Niemann Disease Pick Type C. Sponsor me at $0.10 a pin so we can raise money for the Stults Family and the Niemann Pick Disease Fund. Leave a comment letting me know that you would like to be a sponsor and then On Tuesday night as I Wii Bowl on Stickam I’ll let you know how many pins I knocked down.

* – # pins means # points at end of each game. So if I throw a spare and then knock over 3 pins I have a 13 in the 1st frame. If it was just pins my total possible score if I was perfect would be 100 but as we know in bowling a perfect score is 300, so the number for which you would be sponsoring would be the number of my score at the end of the game.

You can sponsor 1 game or two and then donate directly to the fund.

Shopping Cart Experiment

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.
