After I completed the 2011 Warrior Dash in Maryland, I saw a guy with a head-mounted video camera. As it turns out, he filmed his entire run through the Mechanicsville course. He sped it up a little bit in post, so the video is less than 15 minutes (per YouTube’s rule). No sound, but all [...]

Crushing a Router with Torrent Traffic
Posted in computing on Apr 10th, 2010

Posted in web sites on Jul 1st, 2009
Some friends recently went to Japan and took their HD Flip video camera. They made a very nice collage in iMovie of stills and video. Now it seems — thanks to my college roommate for sharing — that the camera works just as well in the cockpit of an F/A-18 Hornet doing maneuvers.
