This is my first experiment with time lapse photography/video. I used the free Mac application, Gawker. Not to be confused with the gossip blog, Gawker allows you to capture images from any Flash available camera (usb, firewire, etc.) and set it to record snapshots at an interval that you set. It then stitches the images together into a .mov format video file. Pretty cool if you ask me. Capture storms, plants, people, traffic, anything you can think might look interesting (every 15 seconds). One other feature that might be interesting is the ability to set a scheduled record. Security camera anyone? Annoying coworker going through your desk? This is a cheap and easy answer, or at the very least quite entertaining. I used the Mac I-Sight external camera for the purposes of this experiement. Enjoy!

Penguins fans from all over flocked to the Pour House to show the locals who owned the night.

My ride along with the champs as they knock out the 1000th mile for Ford’s 1000 Mile Challenge in the all new Ford Fusion Hybrid. More post later…right now…on to the video!

Jesse Noffsinger charges Erin's phone with a little man power at the Motorola Booth on the National Mall in Washington, DC for Earth Day 2009. His mad cycling skills got her out of a frightful ‘low battery’ situation and saved the day.

In this special edition of TechKaraoke DC Aaron Brazell, Brett Petersel, and Chris Abraham tear it up at Sticky Rice, in Washington, D.C., thus the title. This was a special evening because we got to see Chris Abraham perform for the very first time, ever. That’s right, karaoke virginity lost. Not only did he excel at a song that would make most men quiver in fear at the high notes in the chorus, but he stole the hearts and minds of everyone in the audience with his performance. Rock n’ roll friends, rock n’ roll.

Again, playing catch up, this is video from the early February meetup of TechKaraoke DC. A whole slew of DC Twitterati showed up for the convention and sang their hearts out. Featured in this video is Aaron Brazell, Justin Herman, Jamy Barab, Leslie Bradshaw, Heather Rider, Andrea Baker, Jessica Capak, and some guy doing a modified version of the worm. Oh, what a night!
