RC plane w/video camera + fireworks!

OK. Let me get this straight. We've got a video camera on an RC plane with jokers on the ground shooting fireworks at it.


I have only two questions: was the pilot try to avoid the fireworks or fly into them and was beer involved?

Christmas

Any day when people around the world stop, share, and love those around them is a day to be celebrated. A true holiday.

Xmas '09

I'm only partly through gift opening but so far the pocket breathalyzer has a slim lead followed closely by clever tea making setup + mug sporting caffeine molecule etching. If I could only put the breathalyzer online like a webcam...

I hope Santa was as good to you. Now on to the rest of the prezzies...

Christmas Spirit, the t-shirt

Measuring Spoons 1, Jerry 0

Jokes on me: I just read the markings on the measuring spoons I've been using for YEARS. It's a TEAspoon, not a TABLEspoon. Explains some of my cooking results...

My first tattoo

My present to myself. Michael accompanied me.

Dedicated to Mr. Wolf, my elementary school French teacher. When I made a boneheaded comment he took me aside, pulled up his sleeve, showed me his tattoo from the concentration camp, and told me he could never hate someone for who or what they are. This man survived the Nazis, facing some of the worst humans can do to each other, and he transmuted that hatred into love and compassion towards an ignorant kid years later. God bless him.

Take a listen: Thanksgiving Lime Jello Marshmellow With Gravy

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fur handcuff (sic)

Something I found in the *toy* department of a store in downtown Seattle today. Fur handcuff featuring an anime character.

But hey, they're only three bucks and like the package says "Age limit 6 years old and above." and "For parties or accessaries (sic) for fun".

A tour of Oakland CA

I shot several videos of Elbert "Big Man" Howard discussing historic locations in the history of Oakland CA focusing on the Black Panthers.
