Video Title: 3D movie of Locomotive 3007
Date Added: 3/20/2009 1:46:33 AM

To view use a set of 3d glasses with the red filter over the left eye and the blue filter over the right eye. There's a cross eye 3D version of this film here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7_U9z... and you can also see some still photographs here: http://www.panoramio.com/user/881916/... 26 August 2007. Locomotive 3007, a 60 year old engine originally built in Glasgow returns to the city and is put on display in Goerge Square. The 180-tonne steam locomotive which spent its working life in South Africa is to be an exhibit in the new Riverside Transport Museum. This is my first experiment with my new digital 3D camera setup. I usually do still 3D photography but my new sony DSC-V3's do video so I thought I'd have a try at a 3D movie. For those who ask how it's done: You have 2 cameras strapped together with the lenses separated by about 6.5cm just like your 2 eyes.

Video Title: Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
Date Added: 3/8/2009 1:26:03 PM

Well, this video isn't about live steaming but it is very inpsirational. Professor Randy Pausch passed away in 2008 and left this video as his legacy. It is over an hour long so turn off the cell phone, tell everyone to either join you or leave you alone for the next hour and 16 minutes and watch this insightful, thought provoking video by an incredible person.

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

An intricate hand-cranked machine made entirely of wood and glue (no metal or other materials). It was designed and built by my friend Del, using many different woods and incorporating a variety of mechanical motions. He has made several other wooden machines, but calls this latest one his crowning achievement. Del is 71 years old. His youtube channel is: http://www.youtube.com/woodificood A high quality file of this video (141 MB) can be downloaded here: http://tinyurl.com/5tokso
