Create your own Olympic light show

I saw Bernie's post yesterday:

According to Switched The ten, online user-controlled (yes, really, go ahead and try it while you still can) search lights currently installed on each side of Vancouver's English Bay is the work of none other than Major Fun Award-winner Rafael Lozano-Hemmer!

"Ah!" says I, and also "ha!" How satisfying it is to see a Major Fun award-winner earn something closely equivalent to gold medal Olympic recognition for playfulness.

And also that my buddy Rick Hamrick had tried one.

I did it myself this morning. It was quite easy to do, although I wasn't really sure what it would look like.

Note: I normally use Firefox but for some reason, the live video wouldn't show. I tried IE 8.0 and the same problem, it was loading and loading forever. I switched to Chrome and the live video popped right up without delay.

Magical moment

Recovery from overstimulation is a magical moment. As each crisis dissipates and your emotional electrons return to their proper orbits, don’t close your eyes to the light.

Use it for all it’s worth.

I subscribe to the MondayMorningMemo written by Roy H Williams. This week's will be a classic. I know that I will be referring to it for some time as it is the source of the quote above.

Either way, be sure to click on the picture and to keep clicking through. There is always something interesting in the rabbit hole.

Vote for Franklin - Friday Night Lights

The voting has started for the free lights. We have a chance to win these free lights for a Franklin School Field. It's a contest promoted by several private companies. The way the contest works, for every 850 votes a town gets, you get one sweepstakes entry for the grand drawing. Obviously, the more votes we get in 850 increments, the better our chances are of getting our name drawn.

Getting these lights would benefit many programs in town like soccer, lacrosse, football and many more. All you need to do is go on the website listed below and vote for Franklin. You can only vote once per email address so if you have more than one email address please vote again. Also, please forward this to as many people as you can think that would like to help us out. So, start spreading the word. You don't have to be a Franklin resident so spread this to family, friends and friends of friends. Lets win this thing.
