This is Greg picking up a friend at the airport last weekend. He looks like Jamie Hyneman from the mythbusters. The person laughing in the background is the cop Greg got to shoot the video.

Time lapse photos using your TI calculator
This is a great project for just about anyone who ever went to class with a TI calculator. With a few lines of code on the calculator and a 2.5mm male to male plug you can create time lapse photos.

John Mayer
In case you’ve been in a bubble and are in dire need of decent music, I highly recommend John Mayer. There’s a few songs from him below. If you happen to be a singer/songwriter, check out John’s web site blog @ http://www.johnmayer.com/battlestudies/. A recent post called “Conscious Composition” is very cool. Good Stuff. So what album is his best? Well I like Continuum, but probably just because it’s his latest studio album. I have seriously enjoyed every album to date. Frankly you can’t go wrong with John. One album that never had big press that I enjoy is, “Inside Wants Out“. Check him out!
The song, “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room“, is in my humble opinion is a masterpiece:
“Belief” is another great tune from John…
Howie Day @ The Bluebird
Stuart was gracious in surprising me with a Howie Day ticket tonight. Man my bro can be a cool cat. At the venue Stuart ran around taking some great pics of Howie live. Highly recommended if you like phenomenal guitar and smart songwriter lyrics. Pics are @ www.skfunphoto.com. Below are a few video’s of Howie doing his thing. His talent is in the way he can play guitar, and in using loopback devices construct a vibrant full sound — live! During the BlueBird concert he took the song below, played it, and before he ended the whole thing decided to double up the speed and start a whole techno vibe with it. Truly makes a regular DJ look like a pud. Beyond his obvious playing talent his lyrics are great too. Try him out!
The Song, “Bunnys“, Live – Incredible!
Live version of, “She Says” – Awesome lyrics!

RC Flying fun with the Padilla’s
Today was a great day: planes, friends, and no trashed planes at the end – Perfect! Below are a few photo’s from the day’s events. The smurf lookin’ guy is me, and Grace and AJ are in the mix as well. We went to the Miniature Aero Sportsters field to fly and the hospitality was wonderful. A number of “Pros” were there doing thier thing and they were eager to see a new potential member. I got the memeber information and just sent the check in. I was very pleased with the attitude of everyone there, and I even got some great advise on my Stryker F27C delta. Good stuff.
AJ flew the Alpha Trainer for the first time using a “buddy box”, which is a transmitter tandemed to another transmitter I was controlling. I use a “Train” switch on my transmitter to selectively give control of the plane so AJ didn’t have to sweat much about it. I was very impressed and he got the whole “Your plane – My plane” concept and really hung in there. It generally takes about 15 flights on a buddy box to get used to flying, and another 15 flights to be good enough to do solo take offs and landings. Simulator time can help greatly with getting the concepts down. FS1 and Real Flight are the most popular sims out there. There’s even a ready to fly starter plane kit, complete with everything including the flight sim stuff at most hobbie stores now. The Hobbico Nextstar RTF is one of them.
Grace had my camera and got a number of great shots, including a few of me flying the helicopter. Thanks Grace!
Flying RC’s today
Today I think I’ll be flying some of my Remote Contol Planes and Heli’s. It’s been a long time so today may end in tragedy! I think I’ll fly out at the Miniature Aero Sportsters site north of DIA. It’s a bit of a drive but the area is beautiful and it’s rare to be able to see real jumbo’s flying while you’re flying RC’s. A great site. Details Here: http://home.comcast.net/~tglaess/Field.html

Flobots Rock
My Bro-man Stuart turned me on to a local band called the Flobots a while ago and I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to hear intelligent lyrics again. It took a while for me to warm up to them, but now Debi and I like to rock to them on a regular basis. We really do it up too – Turn it up on the little pocket radio and slowly move our rocking chairs. Kick ass! Seriously – the’yre good. For starters, try Handlebars or Rise – Give them a try, and support local music!
