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.

I went to Onaway Elementary School in Shaker Heights OH. I just uploaded my class pictures from 1961-1966.

I love stumbling across monasteries and temples in Seattle. Compliments my photographing prayer flags in my hood.

Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) video highlights

My first 2 balloon video flights

We launched my Canon point'n'shoot camera with a handful of helium balloons. Here's the video that little Canon caught. Too bad it was zoomed in so close.

I built a picavet rig to stabize the camera. And it worked!
