Mini Pie Maker Bakes Enough for Me or Four People

November 17, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Everyone seems to be talking about this pie maker this week, and I can see why! The Breville Pie Maker can be used to bake up to four personal-sized pies. That’s enough for either me, or four normal people. I want one. Think about it – meat pies, fruit pies, veggie pies… A few years ago I used […]

Never Complain About Blurry Travel Photos Again

November 16, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Even with optical and image stabilization capabilities built into compact digital point & shoot cameras and many SLR lenses these days, there are times when it just isn’t enough. Can you hand-hold a P&S camera – or any camera for that matter, stead for 5 seconds as you try to photograph fireworks? I don’t think so. When travelling, […]

Finally Ordered a Timbuk2 Messenger Bag!

November 15, 2010 Stuart Leave a Comment

I’ve been wanting to buy a Timbuk2 messenger bag for the longest time. I didn’t really need one, but I wanted one. They look good, they’re spacious, they’re typically very well made, and the straps look oh so comfy. Timbuk2’s custom Build Your Own bags and some if not all of their special editions bags are […]

Now, it looks like there’s an additional $50 coupon as well. Then, for kicks I checked out the 60D dSLR that I ordered earlier, and there was […]

Law Abiding Citizen

November 8, 2010 Stuart Leave a Comment

When I watch a movie, I usually know what I’m getting into. Last night I watched Law Abiding Citizen. It was in my Netflix queue because the movie poster looked cool, but I hadn’t bothered to read about the movie before I watched it. Needless to say, I did not expect the movie to turn out […]

Brutal Lunchtime Beeting Caught on Camera

November 3, 2010 Stuart Leave a Comment

I don’t quite know what’s going on here, but it looks like a bumble bee knocked over his buddy with his leg. One moment they’re chomping on some nectar, the next… well, who knows what they’re doing! Full compositions are below.

Stick a Camera Anywhere With a Super Clamp & Magic Arm

November 3, 2010 Stuart Leave a Comment

I was recently in quite a pickle. I needed to take photos and record video at the same time, but I only had one tripod available. Luckily I had recently purchased a Manfrotto Super Clamp and a variable friction Magic Arm.

Awesome Steampunk Iron Man Costume

October 18, 2010 Stuart Leave a Comment

This Steampunk Iron Man suit won Marvel’s costume contest during the recent 2010 ComicCon event in NYC. There’s a bit of controversy surrounding the win since it turned out the costume was a modified and repainted movie prop. Still, it’s pretty damn awesome!
