I have had a lot of people asking how I did that…

What I did was I had 2 cameras. One was in my office in the Charlotte Plaza which is next door to the implosion, and the other at the Bank of America Corporate Center. (You can see where I was here mouse over the image for notes). I set up camera number 1 on my Mac mini in my office on Friday since they would not allow me in my building on the day of the implosion. On Sunday I set up camera number 2 in a conference room on the 46th floor in the BofA Center. Just before the implosion, at the 2 minute warning, I used VNC and logged into the Mini that was attached to Camera 1 and kicked off recording directly to it’s harddrive via iMovie. I then started recording on tape the camera that was with me. As the implosion took place, I started snapping pictures with my camera at the same time.

Afterwards, I edited the video on my Mac Mini and Voila. It was a lot of work, but well worth it.

On Sunday morning about 7:30a on June 26th, the old Charlotte Convention was imploded, and I was there.
I shot video from two different angles, one from my Office which is directly next door to the implosion, and one from the Bank of America Corporate Center.

The visual that I had was amazing, especially so close. The BofA Center was shaking from all the vibration…

I will post some video soon**, however here are some pictures that I took. I will post a few more of these also.

UPDATE: Here is some video and information from WSOC on the implosion

I noticed that my feeds weren’t working correctly, and my last several posts were not published.
I upgraded to the newset WordPress which seems to fix the problem, however, you may have gotten another blast of my past feeds.

Sorry about that…so now lets move along.

Don’t forget that Free comic book day is Saturday. I am planning on taking my son again this year. It was a lot of fun seeing my son pick out a few books last year, and a big dusting off some old feelings walking back into the comic book shop.

It isn’t just about the free stuff…pick up a few books too while you are there! Kill a Tree!

How about a link to the closest thing to the “Guide” that we have today. Wikipedia.

Let see what the Wikipedia has to say about The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

If you haven’t seen googlesightseeing.com, basically he is posting pictures of landmarks and such that he is finding with Google Maps Satellite images.
Some of the pictures that this guy is finding are awesome…so I decided to find something of my own.

This is Carowinds. An amusment park that just about everyone that had been a teenager in this area has worked at some time or another.

Very Cool…Here are templates and forms for working your GTD or Franklin Covey system. Very Nice.

a million monkeys typing » D*I*Y Planner 2.0 Released
Well, it’s been a busy few months, but I’m happy to announce that the D*I*Y Planner version 2.0 has finally been released.

I updated my weblog to WordPress 1.5. So it seems that may have caused rss readers to read the entire feed once again.

I apologize for the problem, I tried to keep that from happening…..
