One of the convenient things about this homemade Steadicam is the length of it places it just the right distance away from your head, if you prop the end of it up against your belly. This is assuming that your belly isn’t extra large, of course. :)
Here’s the Steadicam I am using: https://plus.google.com/photos/106491773395617461590/albums/posts/5797732801516622114

This stereoscopic 3D video is a total phail in just about every way. I even messed up the 1/30 Net Stereoscopic Deviation gag in a couple of places, which is the biggest sin of all in the Stereoscopic Bible. If the perfectly cubic illusion phails, the party’s over, buh-buh baby.
Obviously, simulating a remote control spy helicopter with a homemade “pipe bomb Steadicam” isn’t as easy as it sounds. Like I say in the video, it looks like a real “puker” to me.
Janice Maddy, how do the CMYK colors look in this one? I did the Jim Carbonetti theme park over-saturation dance, hoping to get a couple of “wows”.
Not sure this idea is worth repeating. Unlike some people, I usually know when to move on…

Extraordinarily bright 80 degree afternoon here in East Los Angeles county… way too bright for good pictures.
Here’s the view straight out the north side of my office and straight out the south side.
What’s the weather doing in your neck of the woods?

Janice, I’m ready for you. Come to papa.
Maybe Jim Carbonetti is ready to talk to us, too? Do you think?

I had to reel her in like a big tuna on a long line, but I finally am communicating with Janice via a cell phone in her modified, Amish dollhouse.
The cell phone is one inch shorter than she is, but that’s probably not uncommon for Lilliputians, these days.
For obvious reasons, next on the agenda is a long overdue cell phone upgrade, but until then, keep the videos and pictures coming, buh-buh baby!
It will only get better from here on out. The new tennis shoes look great!
