2011 Buddhist Calendars (free download)

After years of making calendars for Azalea Software I finally made some for JetCityOrange.

These free 2011 calendars all have Buddhist-inspired photographs. They're PDF files so you can download them and print them yourself.

One image is of a cairn, another is "The Angel of Kyushu" a statue in the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, and the last is entitled "Mala With 3 Jewels".

Be sure to tell your friends to go get theirs too!

Write-in Candidate for King County Prosecuting Attorney

My name is "Elmer J Whiting III", I live in King County WA and I'm writing myself in as Prosecuting Attorney. My qualifications? I try my best to live by The Five Precepts and I fully embrace the Black Panther Party's 10 Point Program and by extension the White Panther State/meant. I am a proud revolutionary Buddhist and feel I would be a good Prosecuting Attorney. As long as non-lawyers can serve.

Online Meditation Timer for Cell Phones

Now you can use your cell phone as a meditation timer. No application to install, it's a web page that works with phones with browsers including Android phones, iPhones, Blackberrys, and other feature phones.

If you meditate you can use this page to time your meditation sessions. There are also ambient noise files (white noise, pink noise, & brown noise), video of the surf, and an FAQ.

How to Build a Kite or Balloon Camera Rig - wikiHow

If you've ever thought about putting a camera or GPS up in a balloon or attached to a kite, you'll have to figure out how to attach it. I discovered the picavet cross used in Kite Aerial Photography (KAP) and made my own out of recycled materials and misc. hardware store parts for under $10. It worked too!

DIY Picavet Cross for Balloon Photography

A few weeks ago I did aerial photography shooting video with my Canon camera. I used a homebrew picavet to hold the camera and helium balloons. This is like Kite Aerial Photography (KAP) but with balloons.
