As someone who’s gone overboard installing iPhone apps (I have over 100), I got a big kick out of this “commercial”.
My phone continues to amaze me
I am dumbfounded by how good some of the videos that I shoot turn out. It’s unbelievably dark in this bar and there should be no way that a video could be shot there, much less a one taken with a PHONE.
Seeing is not believing
One of the better optical illusions I have ever seen
“Whiteout”
Warner Brothers has a movie coming out this September called Whiteout. Some one has taken the trailer for the movie and turned it into a video hyping Penn State’s upcoming football season.
Here’s the PSU version of “Whiteout”
I’ll say one thing for the PSU football program. They really know how to turn an night football game into an experience. This year’s designated Whiteout game will be against Iowa at 8PM on September 26th. Several of my Iowa friends are coming in for the game and I’m very much looking forward to it.
Does this look like fun or what?
This is Erin, a friend of mine that I met on one of my Wisconsin trips. We’ve kept in touch through the years. She’s a pilot for Republic Airlines, doing commuter hops around the Midwest but recently decided to get a different perspective of flying.
How did they do this?
Some amazing technology at work here.
A sure sign you have a web hit – the parodies start
Next up just has to be a Saturday Night Live skit.
The Tidal Wave – the best bar shot ever?
Spent the weekend in Dewey Beach DE where the latest rage in bar shots is the “Tidal Wave”.
Here’s a video I shot of a bunch of Santa Clauses (more on that later) doing Tidal Waves (yes I did one too but I couldn’t videotape myself) at the Starboard in Dewey.
The shot can be anything that you’d like, it’s the water in the face that gives it the name. The shot was taking the bar by storm and people were lining up to have water thrown in their faces 
OK – now the Santa suits story.
There’s a group in Philly that sponsor’s their version of a Santa Claus bar tour (similar to the one that I run in State College but on a slightly grander scale). Their tour is called the “Running of the Santas”.
“Rudolph’s Revenge” is their July version of the Santa Run. It’s a bus/ferry trip from Sea Isle City NJ to Dewey Beach that departs Friday night and returns on Sunday with the centerpiece of the trip being the Revenge Party at the Starboard.
Here are a couple of photo’s I took at the Starboard during the Rudolph’s Revenge party.
Next year I might bring my Santa costume, or I might try the Starboard’s Dewey Beach version of Pamplona’s “Running of the Bulls” festival instead – or maybe both.
I was afraid something like this would happen
Looks like Apple’s going to make it difficult to use Google Voice with an iPhone so I may not be implementing GV as quickly as I had planned.
