Allergies

That ragweed has thrown me for a loop, apparently according to my mom i have a sinus infection that's giving me a fever and horrible coughs. I started coughing last block of school and its uncontrollable now, I have headache that really sucks and i can't think straight.

EDIT: my fever is now at 103 fun...

Ive been basically confined to my room, where the AC seems to be working quite well. Talking to my internet friends via skype, but im getting to the point where im just exhausted and i dont feel like talking to anyone, everything seems too damned bright, laptop screen , phone screen, sunlight etc. Im just going to read my kindle or AP Bio

on the upside i might be getting some more ram for my laptop next week, if i feel well enough that is :/ Why im still typing is still a mystery but im going to do die.

Well this camera is too old.

Hey there! I bought a cannon a520 off of craigslist for 25 dollars and it turns out that I cannot hack into it because of its old firmware. :( After a long run I thought about my problem and one of my friends offered to let me have her old camera as long as she could see the footage afterwards! YAY, I still need to get a gps phone to track, my dad can take care of that. Im feeling really lonely and tired but thats ok Ill keep working on my project i guess. :/

FOUND CAMERA

I found Canon! for 25 dollars, its 4 mp but its a great buy. I can use CHDK for hacking the camera and telling it to take 3 pictures then video and what not

Gps enabled Phone! For tracking

Hello again! I have managed to find an old Helio (samsung) phone which was marketed for Korean people in america derp. But it has gps, its light, has a great battery life, and is sleek and sexy.

 Theres the phone along with the Wifi antenna i salvaged off an old wifi router. (To boost gps signal)

Theres a close up of the phone's board. the small circular port within the metal casing is the GPS/CDMA port and my antenna just plugs right in there

Starting the blag again

Hello to the three people who read my blog. I am going to be starting a new project!

Im sending a camera to near space!

Hopefully like this someday.
Ive already gotten my phone for tracking

My first solid works part, kinda

Hey there people! whats up? I know its been a while but i have had little actual substance for my blog, but now I do! I'm learning solid works, which is a 3d program that allows for complex parts to build and stress tested, and now I'm just doing the basics but I hope to keep you updated. 

Bam! and just like that I was off. I made a square and extruded it and now I'm putting circles on it to then cut those holes in it. After Day 1 of my crash course i was super satisfied with my work and now im moving on to a more complex part.

Kap Rig Update!

Hey there, its been a while, like 3 hours. And i have almost finished my Kite Arial Photography rig. here it is!

 

Sorry for the blurry pics, still working out the kinks 

As you can see its much smaller, and a lot lighter too. its make from oak and the front and back is made from lexan. So i can see the screen to see if im recording. anyways, i havent found the right bit to cut out the front lens hole. and i also added wire between the i bolts, to keep the cross piece from slanting.
Cheers!

Kap Rig

Hey guys it has been a while indeed, but ill make it up for you guys. Introducing!!!! AEROCAM II! yeah! *fistpunch* Its my second rig and its back better than ever. almost half as light as my old rig and twice as strong.

The Materials, 32 dollars at Home Depot

Taped together for camera fitting. So lol i took these pictures with the camera i use for flight. but anyways its a new camera and it has anti shake so that the super smooth pics will be even smoother, like Keith Stone. Au revoir, and ill check in once i get it more put togther!

Hanging in French Class

Super bored in french class thought that i would just post for the fun of it. Supposed to be doing a french prject but what ever.

The Ark Project

Hellllloooo, and it is time for my first troll project. Ark Productions I plan on posing as a rich mother wanting to make her daughter famous. As you already know the song "Friday" is probably the worst song ever produced, with horrible singing, bad editing and a 13 driving a freaking car. Heck no. But if you havent, jump on the internet troll train by watching below.

So let me begin with a back story. I will be posing as Mrs.Deveraux, a 45 year old married woman with a rich husband, and a starstruck daughter. heres the picture that im going to send her

Precious, isnt she?. No not really this is the victim of a double homicide in Mississippi. Man I hope this producer doesnt watch the news. Back to this website. She posts what kind of camera she uses and what not.

With words like "Cutting Edge", "Spectacular" and "Photoshop" woah stop right there. i am sold. Let me find you a picture of her "Cutting Edge" Camera.

Darn, pretty "Cutting Edge" I think that the Brady Bunch show had a better camera then this. This dinosaur is doing Rebecca Black nooo favors. What's even better is the fact of the Testimonials. I quote

          "Ainsley Kellar and ARK Productions provided People Working Cooperatively a top-notch, professional solution

 to our television marketing needs with lightening speed and beautiful craftsmanship.

                               Ainsley is not only an excellent videographer, but a wonderful storyteller

                                    who deeply cares about her clients. We've had so many positive comments

                         about her work, and easily recommend her for any video project."

Yeah crap. She probably was payed to insert those underlined words come on. Now back to the story. Janet.loves.her.princess@gmail.com will be fake email address i use. I will start my first email like this 

To: ainsley@arkproductions.com

Subject: Possible Pop-Star? 

Dear Ainsley Kellar, Let me introduce myself, I am Janet Deveraux married to Mark Deveraux. Our daughter is a very charming young lady and we were willing to see if you wanted to make our daughter a star!

She is 13, enjoys texting her friends, and driving me around with her learners permit! Yikes! She is definitely a charmer and is quite a good singer. I hope that we can become good friends in the production process, I saw your recent video "Friday" and I absolutely loved it! Money is no object, we want it to be perfect! Thanks again, Mrs. Deveraux :) 

Let the trolling begin. I hope to get an email accepting my offer. Check in Soon!

Blogging At School

Lols just figured out that Blogspot isnt blocked on our school network, so just giving you guys and update, I have robotics regional in mineapolis. So my teachers are pretty mad haha so bye.

Last Day Of Spring Break

The sun has finally come out on this nice spring break day. Just saw a commercial about texas and I totally forgot that Texas is touching water. That explains the beach in the commercial. Anyways, I made a sweet Asteroid Render in Blender3d 

Its a big file but what ever, its really easy, i had to do no modeling at all. The rock is just using a texture to make the actual shape of the Asteroid. Then i just ran some the picture through some compositing and BAM freaking huge space rock. 

Ap Euro Reading

So here I am reading my Ap Euro book about the social reforms of the 1800's and I am on edge waiting for the Russian part to pop up, but no the authors decided to put Russia at the end of the chapter...... 

Dear Facebook..

Hey there Facebook, I noticed your new layout and all but the thing that got me the most was this.

Now, to me this looks like Javana Massaged You, my cousin's friend from California would never do this, but still it is a very inappropriate message that Facebook that try to convey to our innocent minds. I do not want my friends on Facebook just suprise massaging me out of no where. Get real.

You guy know how you can have a group chat with like a fan page or whatnot? Of course you do. It would be funny if the group was like the "Masculine Bikers Of America" You see where this is going...

Also another GREAT feature about facebook is the ability to Sort your friends.

Note the use of the Group "People I Want To Talk To" and "Other" friends. this might seem shallow but its very effective at hiding from people you added from Anonymous chat rooms and other stuff like that. 

This technique can also be used to sort girls according to hotness by making groups "10" "9" "8" and so forth. But honestly I dont have enough time to sort everyone. Any besides the point, im not that heartless.

So Thanks again facebook for lending me your ear (ears?) because this is a very pressing issue.

Btw, I saw the Social Network, Mark Zuckerburg seems like a pretty mean guy but hey if he can buy your house and the surrounding states, I think that we should give him some credit.

Blaging from Bed

Helloooo There, im just Czeching in on the blag sitting in bed watching 2012 for the 4th time, while my laptop is setting everthing around it aflame, because i for got to close minecraft in the background, but oh well its fine. Have a good night/morning/night because its 12:14

Dear Japan.

Konichiwa, Hello. I am here to apologize to Japan for my last post containing a crudely drawn Japan being hit by an earthquake. This was very wrong of me. I watch the news and i have seen the devastation there. I hope that Japan gets better, and that every country chips in and helps out them in their time of need.

  Yes yes, but think of all the great things in Japan. LIKE NINTENDO!!!! OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THEM AND WHAT ABOUT THE 3DS?????? oh no this cannot happen, the first 3d portable gaming device, well except for actual toys but nvm, I hope everthing is ok.

Yeah it probably is. Nintendo is probably under 12 feet of water but we all know that she'll pull through. The 3DS is probably curled up in the corner on the top floor, shivering, wondering if he will be airlifted to America.

Sad images... But at least the footage from the 3DS will be sweet, because its in 3d. So Sorry again Japan, I hope you get well <3 Love Thomas Moll

Buffalo Wild Whings

Hello Again, after my little kite flying fiasco. My friend Max decided to invite me to Bufalo Wild Whings. Pretty awesome. I wussied out and got teriyaki wings while Max just had to get "Wild" wings and the flaming diarrhea that comes with it. This is a video of me playing Galaga furiously.

Yeah that was fun. 
But anyways you know that nasty poison oak i was talking about? yeah its in this next video. Good news its starting to get less gross but the bad news is that i itched it and its on the back of my hand now *silent clapping * yep but its all good I can still type!

Kite Flying and Falling

Hey there, It is me again I think its time in our semi-professional relationship to tell you guys that i have a hot neighbor. yep. On the IHS (International Hotness Scale) she is a solid 8.97345. Kite flying has been a recent hobby of mine, and crudely taping a camera to a kite works pretty well.

Yeah im taking freaking sub-orbital pictures. Like CIA crap. But anyways I planned to improve my rig so i could move the camera, and also with the kite so close to the camera it shook like some one holding a camera with the shakes, sitting on a washing machine, in Japan (during the earthquake). So the quality was pretty bad. But anyways...

             

So you get my point anyways, I improved my camera 7-fold and flew it, to no avail, it fell and broke the camera, but the even sadder thing is that it was my little sisters Hello Kitty camera... But hey that thing has great video! Here's a diagram of my "new" kite design.

This plan failed horribly... You see our neighbors are Indian, not like native american but like Slumdog millionaire Indian. They are incredibly friendly which has its ups and downs, so they walked across their yard into ours, I immediately tried to think of plans to get out of this awakward meeting, hopefully ending up with me not explaining that I thought their daughter was hot. At first I thought about faking a heart attack, no too hard.

But I guess they could call 911 and things could get hairy, but instead i just put on a innocent face and told them that i very much enjoy flying kites. Apparently back in India kite flying was related with some special tradition/holiday so they told me all about it and i tried to pretend that i was interested and being indian, they couldnt see through my mask. After this little pow-wow I pulled my kite back from low earth orbit, and hiked inside to check out the video.


Nothing. 


Abosolutely Nothing. I sat there. headshaking and in total disbelief.


The camera had wussied out and ran out of batteries before i even got the kite up to cruising altitude. No hot indian action for me. Well thats about it.

Poison Oak

Hey there guys, I have confirmed my case of poison oak... yey! while in Oklaboring i fell into some bushes outside of the hotel and sure enough, poision oak. Just to let you know Poison Oak WILL destroy your skin, kinda like SkyNet screwed up the whole world. Anyways just got back from Buffalo Wild Wings and a serious session of Galaga. Two quarters later my arm was pretty beat, and then i sat at the table quietly and ate my teriyaki wings like a wuss but just to let you guys know i DID eat one of the "wild" wings, not that big of a deal, although Max and Alec were whining the whole time. "Oh, My mouth burns" or "My tongue is bleeding" or "This is going to hurt when it comes out the other end!" All crybabies, geez take some horse laxatives and get over it. 


But Wait.


It takes the human body approx. 24 to digest food right?


No wrong, it cant be


Oh but yes it is Thomas. 


You see tomorrow is when we are having out Camp out At max and jim's house. soooo it might just get a little spicy....
