Earlier today, I stopped at the West Covina Foothill Transit Store, and a very nice lady explained how to transfer from the Silver Streak to a metro rail, e.g., the Gold Line from Union Station (downtown Los Angeles) out to Pasadena. Sounds easy enough! Jeeze, I could party half the night if I wanted to, as long as I sneaked back home without waking up Janice!

Going Deep in Los Angeles County

Today, I got my hands on a bus system map of the local buses here in east Los Angeles County, as well as the Foothill Transit Bus Book. (http://www.foothilltransit.org/) I also found the local Foothill Transit Store (http://www.foothilltransit.org/transitstores/) and bought a TAP card. (http://taptogo.net/)
The local buses only cost 50 cents a ride, and one of them can take me all the way to Valley Boulevard. I think they’ve all got bicycle racks, too. :)
I hope I can get over the confusion and not end up lost somewhere deep in Los Angeles County. Yikes!

I couldn’t resist doing a quick test tonight of my homemade Bloggie windscreen made from a cut piece of a Scrub Buddies from the Dollar store, placed over the Bloggie microphone with double-stick tape, as you see in this video. There was just enough wind to test it. Looks like it’s going to work great!

Mirrors, But No Smoke

Wow. I got totally goofed up while making this 3D video. I was so occupied trying to deal with all the mirrors and stuff that I incorrectly said that the magnifying glass was bought at Michaels. I ended up correcting myself (but actually wasn’t aware that I had made the original error) by correctly saying that I bought it at the Dollar store. But, like I say in the video, the main reason for making this video is to show the sharp pin on the nose of the balsa glider. It is there to pop balloons when I throw the glider “darts” at some balloons.

Threat From Janice Maddy And A Rubber Ducky Disaster

Janice Maddy threatened me today at lunch, and I’m a little freaked out about it. I’m hoping she will watch this video and help me understand exactly what she meant, but I’m sure I will hear about it later, too, oh yeah, baby. She said she was going to take pictures of me and do “something” with them. It hasn’t been a great day, as you can see in this video. I went to the Dollar store to get five rubber duckies and they only had one rubber ducky, so I’m unable to do my stereoscopic 3D demo showing the Designated Near Point row of rubber duckies gag. I didn’t really have anything interesting in the 2 to 15 feet range to make an interesting 3D video, so I just threw an old quilt over a home-made backdrop frame that I made, and set it off to one side. Not very exciting, but it’s a perfectly cubic illusion with a .8 inch stereo base. And who says we need 2.5 inches between our lenses to make it look “normal”? Normal shnormal, hokus pokus… yet another one of a bazillion stereoscopic myths.
