iPad 3 = Better 2012 footage

For the last couple of years I've been working with a 720p $170 camcorder and a 1Ghz laptop. Well now I have an iPad 3 (or the "New iPad") which brings higher quality recording (even in low light) and better editing software (iMovie & iPhoto). So this year you can expect clearer videos and pictures and they will look less ameteur. Now, if only YouTube preserved the quality of videos better... I may just use Vimeo. Yeah, that sounds nice, doesn't it?

How to Make Rotten Easter Eggs

Yes, I went there. Halloween on Easter... I just wanted to do something small to fill the gap between now and the summer. In the summer I'll be working on Halloween stuff along with learning various things. (like Java code) So, I hope you all had a fantastic Easter and will have an even better Halloween!
1. Boil egg(s) for 8 minutes
2. Get toilet paper and paint/strong Easter dye
3. Paint a dark color with medium viscosity paint. This will serve as the glue for the paper.
4. Apply toilet paper, making sure to make vile-looking wrinkles. Paint again with dark paint.

5. Let it dry. Then paint with a sick green or lighter color.

6. You could stop and let it dry here or you could continue painting with subtle yellows/green-yellows.

7. (optional) Bury it under normal Easter eggs and freak someone out.

Note: whenever your aren't working on it or are away, put it in the fridge. It will still dry in the fridge.

The Real Nightmare.

Toothaches. Ibuprofen. Never again.

Stop ACTA & TPP: Tell your country's officials: NEVER use secretive trade agreements to meddle with the Internet. Our freedoms depend on it!

ACTA's vague language locks us into obsolete copyright and patent laws, preventing democracies from updating their laws to unlock new economic and social opportunities.It criminalizes harmless remixes by ordinary users if they achieve 'a commercial scale' (art 2.14.1) which many amateur videos do on sites like Youtube. And it criminalizes legitimate websites by making them responsible for user behavior ('aiding and abetting' art 2.14.4).Worse, it permanently bypasses the democratic process by empowering the 'ACTA Committee' to 'propose amendments to [ACTA]' without your approval. (art 6.4) In other words, it's impossible to know what you're voting for.The global movement against the US law SOPA showed that internet freedom is a crucial issue which belongs in the legislative process of each country. You should view ACTA as an attempt by a handful of companies to circumvent the democratic process, and you should vote against it.Thank you. Please reply if you have any questions.

A Tribute is Due

I feel the need to create a prop in tribute of John. He was a great amount of inspiration to me and probably many of you. I was shocked to read his last post. At first, at least. Then my eyes flooded as I continued to read. He was a very strong individual with great motivation and passion. He's the ideal haunter. The kind that's originality is beyond me and creativity is above average.
I do hope he gets to the stream on the other side. We love you, John!

Mire Cemetery 2011!

I tried to edit it to make it more entertaining than last years video. I hope you like it!

Practice

Today I saw an apple in a bowl and it looked a little wrinkly so I decided to carve it as no one was to eat it. As always I started the hole at the bottom not the top. This gives the apple the appearance of being carved from within. Ugh, now it feels like when the title of a movie is said by one of the actors. Hah!

Preserve the Gourds!

If you have carved your pumpkin this weekend and just realized that it's way to early and that they may not make it, here are some websites that may help. A how-to & a science experiment.
