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.

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.
