When Joe Philipson asked me to accompany him to Japan Nite at The Viper Room over the phone from Austin while he was hanging out at the SXSW Music Festival I just said yes. I didn’t really even know what the heck he was talking about. Seriously… it sounded cool… but I still had no [...]
Click to download TiltShift in iTunes (see update at bottom of post, 11/24/2010) I heard about this iPhone app called TiltShift this morning (though it’s been out for some time now)… and had to try it out for myself. From what I’ve seen there are a few of them out there… but this one looked [...]

This is the first of almost 2 weeks worth of daily videos we’ll be posting. Enjoy! Coming next, a first test of the Ewa-marine underwater housing in a regular [...]
