After Josh's first picture slicing through a Banana with a steak knife, I loaned him the knife my grandfather (Oley) and I made together. (Oley's new hobby..tool/knife making..hehe)

Leave it to Josh to make an awesome picture. Josh's inspiration is Fruit Ninja for iPhone.

“That just Happened” – Fireworks Gone Wrong!

Posted on July 13, 2010

So Andrea & I were invited to go to this baseball game w/ friends. It was a nice game, and the fireworks show afterwards will be hard to forget.

Fortunately, my friend/co-worker, Greg Goodwin, was able to start filming as soon as the first explosion happened and he was able to capture what is now my personal favorite angle of the incident.

On Friday night, July 9th, 2010, the Hudson Valley Renegades beat the Auburn Doubledays in 11 innings. The home crowd was very excited and were looking forward to the fireworks after each Friday night home game.

The outfield lights were turned off, including all other lights in the park for maximum enjoyment of the display. After perhaps 5 minutes of an amazing display, a very small ground level explosion occurred behind the outfield fence where the fireworks were originating from. A few moments later a green firework appeared to come from under the fence at ground level skipping across the outfield toward second base. The crowd reacted nervously, some screams. That is where the video picks up.

From my seat in section 305, I turned my camera on because I felt like something else might happen. Unfortunately, it did. A few moments later, another explosion occurred, rocketing a red firework toward the home plate grandstand, slamming into the window of the suites. I kept videoing, nobody seemed to be seriously injured, I could not hear any screaming or crying once the lights came on. I then evacuated as directed.

I originally posted this on CNN's iReports. I am also posting it here on YouTube for iPhone users.

New iPhone Leaked

Posted on April 21, 2010

Wow... So a prototype of the Next iPhone was lost/stolen?? and sold to Gizmodo for $5000.00.  I really feel bad for the poor guy who lost this thing. Is this the final prototype? Who knows.. Apple confirmed the authenticity of this prototype when they called and then sent a formal request letter to Gizmodo's Editorial Director Brian Lam for the return. I'm eager to see if/what legal actions Apple pursues against the finder/thief?? and the buyer, Gizmodo.

Does 1080p Really matter?

Posted on March 3, 2010

When your selecting a new TV, many wonder "Is there really a difference between 720p and 1080p?".Samsung LCD TV

What does 720p and 1080p really even mean?

720p:
The 720 represents 720 lines of vertical resolution (720 horizontal scan lines), and the letter p stands for progressive scan (not "720i" or interlaced)

1080p: (aka. full HD or full High Definition)
The 1080 represents 1080 lines of vertical resolution (720 horizontal scan lines), and the letter p stands for progressive scan (not "1080i" or interlaced)

So what makes a 1080p better than a 1080i?

Progressive (1080p) vs Interlaced (1080i): Progressive scan processes the images twice as fast as Interlaced. This faster scan rate makes for a picture that is more crisp, clear, and vivid.
