David Blaine - Upside Down

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008


David Blaine - Upside Down from GammaBlog on Vimeo.

Blaine is amazing in his willingness to, literally, put himself in such strange positions. He looks so vulnerable here, even surrounded by security. He takes ten minutes per hour upright to get medically checked and pee. The park closes between 1 and 6AM. Who keeps an eye on what is going on then? But even with the breaks this stunt looks extremely uncomfortable, and yes dangerous to his health. Like a boxer, his career involves injury to his body. I hope his special tonight involves more street magic than his last one did. I like the guy.

live ABC primetime special, “David Blaine: Dive of Death,” Wednesday, September 24th (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET).

An idea whose time has come. A stroll along noisy West 59th Street, where the carriage horses wait for fares.

Code Pink and the Granny Peace Brigade celebrate Mother’s Day, the way it was originally celebrated by Julia Ward Howe’s in her Mother’s Day Proclamation in 1870.

Hansom Cab Horses

Two minutes with the hansom cab horses in Central Park. Sunday, May 13, 2007.

I’m trying to figure out how Google handles video files. When I tried to upload a file over 100M it made me download the Google desktop uploader. When you use it, it takes longer before it appears on the site. And the thumbnail generated seems to be the middle frame as opposed to at the five second mark. But I think it is capable of resuming broken uploads. I don’t think Google has a FAQ on all this.
