That's an excellent idea for a cheap fisheye! I'm gonna try it when I get home. Thanks KC. I've always liked the kite/balloon camera idea too.

I gotta go check out air traffic again and take a look at some kites. Those pocket ones without the support skeletons sound like a nice option.

Then see if I can build a homemade rig for a camera...

The only problem I come up with is what cool areas can you fly a kite at to take photos that would be interesting? So far the safest spots I can think of are large fields.

the pocket kites are sweet.

they hold up to high wind speeds and are easy to get off the ground on low speeds.

one of the best options IMHO

with up to 644 horsepower and an all-wheel drive option using one electric motor per wheel. The ZAP-X will have a top speed of 155 miles per hour and a range of 350 miles. However, the real kicker is a 10 minute rapid recharge time with an expected cost of $3.50 for a full tank of electrons.

In addition to all this, they continue to market to EcoGeeks with an onboard computer to provide “Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, high definition video” and the usual ports for your iPod and other gadgets. Lastly, ZAP is using a special glass, which allows the windshield and other windows to provide a small amount of solar energy to the car.

you know whats funny about that to me?

Only a couple days ago was I sitting on a toilet in my bathroom thinking of how many years the toilet has been around without much change and how could it be different yet usable to both sexes. .... I didn't think about just placing a urinal in the bathroom too... however, that does take up more space. I'd like to come up with or see someone come up with another idea that is acceptable to both parties involved.

Finally an electric car I'd enjoy owning.

Range is going to go down big time in the winter though if you use heat.

Not sure if there's much improving they can do on the toilet part unless you had the back of the toilet be a urinal. Or this:

I think whatever it is should have a height adjustment of some sort.

no but I pooped on a bridge!! once it was funny! it was eavn funnier when wewhere doing the stuff we where doing!!lol catch my drift it must just be the eastside brings that crap out lol

I've always just wondered what it would be like....

you could have somebody do the actual pooping, and then have a camera, or something set up down below, to catch what happens when the crap meets the pavement....

I'd probably start out small with the Earl Street bridge, and then move up to the High Bridge, once I had my aiming down....

We always donate our cars. Of course we drive them until they are pretty much done, but they use those donated cars for good things and the tax deduction for the car donation is a good thing too.

somebody asked me about my current avatar...

I think it was made using the above program...

some sweet photos on there..

KC and CM you need to check it out

I've used that. It's a good program to make artificial terrains (alien landscapes usually) with.

www.blender3d.org is a program I've used extensively. It's a full featured 3D modeling/rendering package (like the stuff they use for special effects and 3D movies like shrek). Pretty cool, however there's a steep learning curve to it.
