A Nightvale live show in LA!
I am excited to attend my first live Nightvale event. i have enjoyed many of their podcasts over the years. i was originally introduced to Welcome to Nightvale while driving through the southwest. It was fun to see the actual humans behind the voices. I was amazed at how small a cast put on this show. It was also amazing to see Disparition in action live, a badass!
An Evening with Sir Patrick Stewart
An incredible dialog with Sir Patrick Stewart about his childhood, family, Shakespeare, and Star Trek. The appearance was to promote his recently published memoir, “Making it so.” 500 copies were given away at the event, including one to myself. Amazingly, they only forbid video and flash photography. I was able to grab some pics and a pretty solid audio recording. enjoy.
My visit to Nike Missile Site LA-88
The Nike Missile Site LA-88 is back in the mountains of Chatsworth, not far from Oat Mt. It’s an impressive 450 foot gain from the parking, but it’s a pretty cool piece of Los Angeles’ Cold War history. The site includes some great dilapidation if your like that kind of thing. Ruins of two Buses and a car as well as a few buildings and some very sketchy entrances into dark underground places.
Still sorting my media from Africa but here are some videos
Helicopter Flight over Victoria Falls
3D stereoscopic video of an elephant noming a tree.
I am still working out how to share my 3D stuff. hopefully i’ll have more soon. EDIT: here is a video i cut together from adventures at the last lodge we stayed at in Botswana. Enjoy.
Happy WWWD and a war driving update! I wear my night mode UI at night!
@kismetwireless@infosec.exchange dropped a new kismet on us in time for #WWWD (World Wide War Drive). With much anticipated Night Mode UI. i have to admit, i was so desperate for this, my display had to be covered at night. now it looks amazing! thanks Dragorn!
Sparks and TMBG at the Hollywood Bowl!
incredible show from some epic performers. i shot a time lapse. it came out surprisingly well.
Rehashing an old Mario trick
After watching the Mario movie with kids, i dropped original NES Super Mario Bros on them. They enjoyed the new (to them) gameplay, while marveling at the limitations: you cannot go back? With me remembering a surprising number of secrets, i got a bug in me to revive this ancient trick. Unfortunately, i wasn’t able to get it working correctly in the limited lives i had. Undaunted, i finally completed it just a few days later while waiting on an OS upgrade.
my favorite part was that it overflowed the numerals and became pictures when displaying the remaining lives. if you got too many extra lives, it ended the game.
