Bad Old Days: Kodak Disc 4000 Camera

March 31, 2008 9:22am

In the late 80's I went on a vacation to Orlando and my Grandma loaned me her disc camera for the trip. While it's true that the pictures were crap, it's worth mentioning that it took everything Shamu could throw at it during multiple sittings in the "Splash Zone" at Sea World. Crappy? Yes. But also quite water resistant.

This is great! I take a lot of anaglyphs and this would really make things a lot easier. I just wish they'd make a digital version already!

I had a rather unpleasant emotional response to this machine's clumsiness.... especially when it was kicked by the researcher. I felt like I was seeing the mistreatment of a living animal.

I got one of these as a Christmas gift a couple of years back. I did really enjoy it. But I left the thing on all the time and it died after about 6 months. It was fun while it lasted.

Octopuss Studios' "Silverfish" Aquarium

They make these magnetic scrubbers for cleaning the inside of aquariums. It's made of 2 magnets. One is the handle and the other is the brush. the brush goes on the inside of the tank and the handle on the outside. I have one for my flat sided aquarium and it works great. I'm sure it would work on this one.

From the environmental angle, I worry less about the carbon and more about all the heavy metals and VOCs used in the ink!

I can't believe that since we have had so many human beings blast off from this neighborly rock,... that NOBODY has gotten closer than this in 30 years.... I mean,....yeah,.. "I want to know what spring is like on Jupiter & Mars". Let's finaly make a begining and create Clarke's Cylinder and Heinlin's Sphere!

Duncan Metal Zero Yo-Yo

November 9, 2007 5:18pm

P.S. The PROFLY and other Duncans, have a wooden axle. It is a little rough for the first 100 throws or so,.... but they become METALICLY SMOOTH after about 150 throws.... and also maintain the "GRAB" or "Catch Return" of non-metal yo-yos; spinners even after hundreds of throws... Also, always remember to use a FRESH and SOFT COTTON yo-yo string...

Duncan Metal Zero Yo-Yo

November 9, 2007 5:07pm

WINGO, I have to say to you that if you buy this yo-yo, it's great for "string tricks" ALA' "rock the baby" as the metal axle allows for extra long spins,... but personally, I like aerial yo-yoing, and that requires a certian amount of "grab" where the axle is concerned, which is completely lost with metal-axle and bearing-axeled yo-yos. I think it depends on what kind of tricks you like to do.... I like the PROFLY because of it's plastic composition,...and it's wide flanged and softly rounded ridges that accomodate both aerial and string tricks without the painful return you'll get from a sharp-edged butterfly. Overall, the yo-yo industry is one that provdes it's patrons a both a wide and deeply rich spectrum of options.... the yo-yo business model should in-fact, inspire other businesses to adopt this flexible model...

This is a really great looking yo-yo! I never cared much though for metal yo-yos as they can really be painful to use (even using the pads). And just try using one in cold weather! OUCH! For my money the Duncan Profly gets my vote.

I'M SO VERY EXCTIED to meet everybody so exuberant and so delighted over a "thing". ...especially a "thing" such as this...

The truth is, our stories are nearly identical, (Lolagrrl).

How Strange! Could this be the origin of the "Happy Slapping" Phenomenon (and the ritual filming of it for internet distribution purposes)?
