When you have some free time, most people will watch TV or clean the sock drawer. Others build highly sophisticated video game mods of Deloreans that travel time.

Skate 2 Top 10
We’re big fans of this game, but after watching this, I guess we’re just casual.
Rediscover Makiki Intro
Taking the camera out for another test run, ASWS pulls together a slow life intro for the Rediscover Makiki / Sunset in the Park event. There’s an unofficial edit around here somewhere.
Kaimuki For Giants
Been exploring some new techniques, as well as some new firmware. The results are encouraging us to explore a bit further.
Major Tom
The Japan Space Agency (JAXA) has sent a satellite to orbit the moon and capture it in high definition. Unfortunately, this tourist isn’t coming home. It will lose orbit and crash on the moon, actually, I think it has already. (I will jam some Pink floyd in your honor). More moon pr0n here.
Forever
Forever is a videowall installation created by Universal Everything currently at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Forever also has an accompanying online component that generates an endless series of video podcasts. On display until February 1st, 2009 at which point the installation will tour additional venues worldwide.
Purple Chocolate Sunset
Stones Throw single-handedly redeems my distaste for 405 traffic, smog, fake people, and numerous other Los Angeles shortcomings. How can you disagree with this track list and a hand drawn LP jacket? Correct answer: you can not. Hot Dam!
The RED Canon Invades Haleiwa
Apparently Vincent Laforet just finished a stint in country shooting Jamie O’Brien. You may have noticed the remote control helicopter hovering over the line-up at Pipe last week, well, that was them. The neat part is that Vincent has outlined his gear and posted a few “behind the scenes” videos on his blog containing footage shot with the RED One and the Canon 5D MKII.
Laforet shot the original drool-inducing promo video for the Mark II. The short gave us photo nerds an exchangeable boner the first time we saw it, and had us scrambling towards the pre-order list. Needless to say, Vincent’s had some time to experiment with the camera and figure out how to maximize its capabilities. We’re going to heed his advice and order our ND filters tomorrow.
A Lesson from the 9th President
The lesson? If your going to inspire a nation, wear a coat. For those keeping score, the narrator is none other then J.D. Ryznar of Yacht Rock fame. Nice Job at the poles everyone, keep the fire burning. (Audio Alert: Contains drunken yammering)
