Laser cut birthday card
Tried my hand at cutting and engraving card stock. It works better then I expected on our 40watt laser.
There's no right way to hold it!
So I got myself one of those iPads and very quickly discovered that holding it is the hardest part of using it.
After looking at many cool but as yet unavailable stands and cases I spent the morning building some to suit my needs.
Behold the iPad standle!
Yes, I did come up with that name as I wrote it btw.
Getting back to the "real camera"
After a year of pocket camera and iphone4 camera usage the appearance
of dragonflies in the garden prompted me to haul out the macro rig I
built a few years ago (btw, I do mean haul as it weighs a little under
3kg).
Out of habit I tried the iphone camera first, No go. I couldn't trick
the iphone to focus on a tiny thing alone in the foreground instead of
the background foliage despite my best finger contorting methods.
First thoughts were. Wow, these things are not intuitive to use and
heavier than I remember. After half an hour assembly and familiarising
myself with the various button/dials and switches to make it go, the
ease that comes with using the right tool for the job arrived.
Highway timelapse
My first try using iTimeLapse on the iphone4. Didn't have a dash mount
so the iphone was stuck in the laces of a shoe and braced with a gps
suction mount & A glasses case.
Hacking at Sydney Hackerspace
A day of sorting junk in the morning, board meeting at 1:30 and general projects for the afternoon/evening.
Robots and Dinosaurs Festivus BBQ
Happy Festivus/other festive thing everybody!
We all had a random bag of fun on the day.
Robots & Dinosaurs The Sydney Hackerspace, Now with shorter Grass!
This is a compilation of the mowing at different speeds and directions for your viewing pleasure.
The shadow of the house in the foreground hightlights the speed of each part nicely and the hills hoist spinning in the neighbours yard is just perfect.
Timelapse Video of Bronze Casting @ robodino.org
Last Sunday I was keen to time the various stages of casting bronze, So I set up my little Canon A590IS with CHDK plus Ultra intervalometer loaded on the SD card.
The setup was about 20 minutes then 28 minutes until the bronze was poured (the flames of the foam burning are visible in clip at 30 seconds in.
