04/17/06 - The more things change...
|
There's a completely non sequitur movie on the way... But an old friend we haven't seen in a long time sent this picture and I had to put it up here... what a difference a decade makes, indeed.
Thanks Brooke and B.E.W. Media!
Here's a blast from the past, from an old friend, thanks Brooke!

04/10/06 - Podcasting and stuff
|
Ok, it was a little more work than I thought, but hopefully it's worth it in the end... We now have a podcast link (on the left), and you can also subscribe to it (for free) through the iTunes Music Store using this link.
The podcast will only contain the new videos going forward. You will still need to come here to view the older stuff, see the full text entries, see the images and obviously to comment on stuff. Man, this place is high tech.

04/09/06 - More Rockets!
|
This is probably the last installment of the rocket obsession... We tried some weird stuff... check it out!
You may also notice that the movie format has changed to quicktime, this is due to my shiny new MacBook Pro.
If you don't already have quicktime... you should get it, it's good for watching our movies. Hopefully, sometime within the next day
or so we'll also have this latest video in the iTunes Music Store for download as a free video podcast.
Creative Rocketry
More interesting launches... two rockets tied together, tethered rockets, shoulder mounted rocket and much, much more.

03/27/06 - Crashes and missing rockets.
|
With rockets, we're less inclined to label any particular attempt a failure.. with a $5 rocket, a crash is as cool as a parachute recovery and often cooler... If something lights on fire and gets airborne for any amount of time we're excited!
Here is some video of some of the best crashes and less than perfect recoveries.
Rocket failure
Here's some video of some nose dives, crashes and explosion aftermath.

03/26/06 - More site upgrades
|
As you can see, pointless obsessions change quickly, and so must this site in order to record them for posterity.
We now have a home page and media galleries devoted to each individual obsession in the left hand menu. There's now an RSS feed, an about page and some other minor improvements.
You can leave feedback in the comments or email us at the address at the bottom of the page and on the about page... especially if you have some ideas for something fun to be obsessed with.. pretty soon it's going to be just the xbox 360 and that won't make for very good video.
