Radioactive Popsicle – Melting Ice TimeLapse Video

This was fun, I knew it had a chance to be quite interesting and it turned out pretty good I thought! I wasn’t sure if they would melt fast enough on their own, I had an idea to introduce a space heater to the equation but as it turned out, I did not need it for this small scale.

This was an experiment of sorts. I had no earthly idea how long it would take for these “special” popsicles to melt. I wound up compressing the time of the video which showed nearly a continuous flow of the melting process. I think it turned out really well. I guess I should try it on a much larger scale and then add additional heat to the mix in order to make it even more dramatic.

The popsicle mix? Well if you are familiar with black lights, the solutions used should not be any surprise at all. I guess if you really want to know make a comment and I’ll let you know ;)

The next video I did of the same style was actually 4 of them but they did not move around as much as the old mix had dried up and caked the bottom of the pyrex dish…it had much traction…wasn’t going to be a whole lot of slipping and sliding there! Oh well :o

McShake It!!! Driving Time Lapse Video

I’m sure by looking at the title and watching the video you’re like huh? I couldn’t think of a clever name for the video and since I stopped at the McDonalds drive-thru, I thought why not something having to do with what I bought! So basically this is me running a few errands, I think I also stop @ Academy Sports store to buy? I do not recall!

I told you I was going to have quite a few driving videos! If anyone wants to see the much higher quality version by all means let me know and I’ll find a spot to post them (I think that’s called a link :p)

This drive was to a local sports store and then a quick side trip to McD drive-thru. The DT is a lot of fun to see, I imagine a toll booth would also be a trip.

I also want to get some nighttime drive in there soon. Downtown Austin especially ould yield great results I think! Stay tuned!!

Rain Rain OMF (On My Face) – Driving Time Lapse Video

Driving in the Rain…name something that I haven’t had to do pretty much all year.

We’ve had very little rain thus far this year. I cannot recall but maybe once or twice that I’ve had to drive in it. Glad I shot this next video when I did last year!!

This is a driving video on my way to the doctors office in morning rush hour traffic while it was raining. A rare chance to see both as I do not commute nor am I usually on the road when it rains.

This was during the early part of the summer though when it rained nearly everyday for the better part of 2-3 weeks. It was an unusually mild beginning to the summer for us. But not to worry, the heat is here and making up for lost time it would seem. We’ve had a few days pushing near 100 but thankfully not as many as we might usually have by this time of year!

Maybe more surprising is that I drove all that way and didn’t See an accident. Austin has a large number of fender benders it seems whenever it rains. People either drive way too fast or way too slow when it rains here in TX.

I think a night time rain drive would even be more fun to see,
all the reflections for the lights would be great I think!
