GoPro Surfing at South Moss

So the maiden voyage(s) of my GoPro camera and iMovie skills have culminated in this video.  Granted, these two days out at South Moss in Spanish Bay (Pebble Beach, Monterey Bay) were 30 minutes long, so I cut together the best of what I had.

Enjoy the video, you should click through to YouTube to see it in 1080p HD...

Military Vehicles To Vegas

As we were driving to Vegas last year, I was surprised to run into so many military vehicles on the way.  Here's a quick look at our drive...

GoPro Photos at Carmel Beach

My first day out with the GoPro, there weren't very good waves.  Instead, Dustin, Travis and I decided to go out and body surf.  I got a few cool photos at Carmel Beach...

Windy Hunter Digging

As some of you guys may know, and many others probably don't- my dog that has been a part of my life since I was 11 was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago.  I feared the worst for him, but he hasn't given up... instead, he's done quite the opposite.

Could he know what is going to eventually befall him?  No, probably not.  But in the last month he's been more playful, more loving, and altogether more of a dog than he's been since he was a puppy.  From feeding him human food on a regular basis (scrambled eggs every morning) to special beach trips tailored to the dog, Hunter has been living it up.

Here's a blog (among many other of her posts) written on the subject.  http://esmenoir.blogspot.com/2012/12/birth-story-of-smooth-fox-terrier.html

Enjoy this video I crudely cut together and a few photos...

Highway 198

The first photos I've snapped in a long time, here are a couple of Highway 198 on my drive from Los Angeles to Carmel... about 10 minutes before a speeding ticket.  The beautiful rolling hills encompass this little world where fairy tales live.  Enjoy the photos...

10 Ways to End the World [infographic]

So the end of the world came and went. Huh. Will you look at that. Nothing too special happened yesterday – no WMDs, no rapture, no fire ball explosions and no zombie Mayans…. It was lame! Today’s graphic explains some of the ways the would could have ended yesterday and they are much scarier than an ancient calendar.

Out of the ten ways provided, my biggest fear is a nuclear war. I know the US and Russian have a ton of checks and balances when it comes to arming a nuclear warhead, but if one gets in the wrong hands… A fanatical person with too much power could start a chain reaction of WMD destruction.

I do know the world will end one day, I just hope I’m not here. [via]

For Developer Eyes Only [infographic]

Android has returned in today’s post, but this infographic is more worried about the people developing the apps behind the scenes than your everyday Angry Birds player. Social gaming on mobile devices has become incredibly popular especially with kids and a good bit of revenue for these games come from the sales of in-game virtual goods. Now ten years ago I would of said no one in their right mind would spend real cash money on a virtual cigar, but that has changed. Improving the looks of your character in these more passive social gaming worlds is very important.

When playing massively developed social games on the PC the looks and inventory of your character usually depends on the users skill set or play style, in mobile social games they reflect the person behind the character, they reflect the real life player. This is why people will go and spend .10 cents one an in-game cocktail – because they we’re feeling like on in real life.

These recreational social games are not the only money makers on Google’s Play store – Casino games dominate the charts. Casino games are fun, but also pull in the dough. Over a quarter of Android’s top 25 grossing apps are casino games, but that’s not all – who do you think pays for all these games? You’ll be surprised because unexpected spenders like Mexico and Thailand top the list. [Papaya Mobile]

December in Santa Monica

December in Santa Monica

The Big Fat Christmas Infographic [Interactive]

Today’s graphic showcases facts and figures from all aspects of life, but with keeping the Christmas Spirit in mind. The Twelve Days of Christmas is one of the holiday tunes that almost every American knows by heart. We have been overwhelmed with numerous kock-offs of the Twelve Days over the years and I hope the original remains the top dog. In December, the same songs dominate the airwaves and are played on repeat at the mall, the dentist, the grocery and it seems like every business on the face of Earth.

I do believe our society has started to reach full capacity on the Christmas spirit, though. Early November is when outlet stores would start putting up the Christmas decorations and switch their in-store jams from Rihanna to Rudolph. This year I feel we waited almost until December – it had to be a new record. I noticed there was even Thanksgiving decore up this year after Thanksgiving. I’m also relieved the whole politically correct ‘Happy Holidays’ fiasco has been quiet. Just wish people whatever holiday you want and they should be happy you’re thinking about them.
