We did this when I was a kid, with my father's super 8 movie camera.

I saw a dance performqnce like this. the stage was absolutely dark and you couldn't see anything. The dancer had a remote trigger for a strobe inher hand and as she ran around the stage leaping in the air, she'd click the trigger and fire the strobe. The effect was that she was floating motionless through the air.

I can't remember the company's name. Maybe Ellen Sinopoli?

Corny but cute.

Wait for the entire screen to load up with all four horses and a fence in front of them. Then click on each horse. Make sure your sound is on. Re-click on any horse to make it turn off or turn it back on again. Somebody did some real wizardry of programming to coordinate this! Try clicking on the horses from left to right then right to left then just one or two at a time...

My friend has started a blog about the little village in which we live. I agreed to write a weekly blog called "Extreme Gardening"

You can read it here Also, there are some great photos by various contributors, and it gives you an idea of what our village is like.

A while back I linked to the WikiHow on How to Create a Duct Tape Wallet. Now, for those individuals nervous about RFID cards, here are instructions on How To Create an RFID Blocking Duct Tape Wallet. The author claims that 27 micron thick aluminum will block RFID signals.

So how about an aluminum foil wallet to go with your hat?

Oh the Ho's! Thanks Bruce. I was wondering what my next piece would be about. I'll get right on it!

Why do I have visions of fuel-injected rototillers and explosives being used for planting row crops?

Sorry that link should be: http://cambridgebuzz.blogspot.com/

The other link is to only one article and not the whole blog.

The Gender Guesser is a utility that takes writing samples (over 300 words works best) and attempts to guess the gender of the author.

I have been feeding it some posts from here, but except for TW, not many people consitently write posts that long.

Have fun.

Hmm... a blatantly feminine email to my grandmother (covering topics such as cooking, house cleaning, my relationship with my parents, and repeatedly including the words "pregnant," "breastfeeding," and "baby") was classified as weak male. I think it needs work.

Well, it does say it's only %60-70 accurate, which is slightly better than flipping a coin. I think that it looks for passive versus active patterns and the use of more common words rather than subject.

'I bought the brown shoes' would be scored differently than 'The brown shoes were bought by me'. I'm assuming that the bigger the sample, the more accurate it gets.

and multiple samples, so says the info.
