Vacation fun

I am taking vacation time around Thanksgiving this year, giving me 11 days off in a row! Woohoo!

So far:

I have gotten my little RC18MT back up and running.  I even did some video recording of it using not only my iPhone 4, but also a point-and-shoot camera that my wife got me some time ago.  This little truck is a blast still.  Got in some tumbles, lost (and found) a lower shock spring cup (not sure of the technical name for it), encountered steering issues, and had fun in the street and on the rocks.  The video for this will be my first attempt at putting together a film using 2 video sources.  We'll see how it turns out.

On Monday, I went to a local park with my SCX10 rock crawler.  I found a few spots with some good sized rocks and had lots of fun.  Next time I'll try out the Venom Creeper.  Yes, I got video and pictures and will post those up soon.  Again I used 2 video recorders.

I had a broken TV, 2 old computer monitors, a stereo receiver, and 2 speakers.  While looking online, I counldn't find a public dump close to home so I decided to look on Bestbuy.com.  It turns out they will take many electronics for recycling.  So I packed up the car and dropped them off.

Today I went to see Skyfall finally.  This is the best Daniel Craig James Bond movie.  It had plenty of action, a good James Bond feel, some references to the James Bond of old, and worth the price to see in theaters.  If you are a Bond fan and especially like the Daniel Craig Bond, go see this in the theaters.

I have also gotten some shoft films done of some older R/C videos shot on an actual video camera.  Here are the ones released so far:

Park Day 8-17-2007

Parking lot run 4-8-2008

Park Day 5-14-2008

Here is part 2 of my Axial Racing's EXO Terra Buggy's 1st run.  I tried something a little different, and used another iPhone app: ToonCamera.

More videos to come.
