As you may have noticed, I have all but completely abandoned this blog in lieu of keeping friends and family updated through other social networking tools such as Twitter and Facebook. From time to time I’ll hopefully update christhis.com with something useful!
If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to, well it’s been family, work, and my weekend passion of hosting and producing my own TV show called MOTORZ which ... (more)

This is a very interesting video that explains several techniques for image stabilization on your still camera or camcorder. They are all very inexpensive and their effectiveness varies.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_423BLnrMI]The water bottle technique would be best if you are on the go (walking) but if you’re doing stationary shots, the string technique would best. Enjoy!
Here is another DIY camera stabilization solution that is a bit more involved. It is ... (more)
While watching movies on the iPhone version of YouTube I always noticed videos looked better. I just thought it might be the smaller screen. With this new Add-on for FireFox, I think it confirms that there are different quality versions of videos at YouTube. In fact, according to Josh, this Add-on streams from video.l.google.com instead of youtube.com. This makes sense to me because Google videos always supported much better video ... (more)
One of the more amazing new technologies to come out of CES 2008, IMHO, is this 9mm plasma screen TV from Pioneer. Watch this video:

NBC’s new Knight Rider show, based on the popular 80’s show, premieres this February 17th. It features the Knight Industries 3000 (KITT) Shelby Ford Mustang GT500KR created in the vein of the original KITT car that Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) kicked around with his big poofy hair.
A friend of mine designed the iconic red lights on the front of KITT just below the front lip of the hood. I’m ... (more)

Check these out, if you are a fan of “Office Space” (the movie) you’ll appreciate both of these.
Last week I was in Las Vegas all week for the SEMA Show (automotive convention) with 6 others as part of my Truckblog Crew. Here’s the first video posted of the event:

My sister got me hooked on watching the The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central when I was up in Seattle and while I hate politics in general, I found the show amusing because it does nothing but poke fun at politics. What follows Stewart’s show is the Colbert Report. I got hooked on that show too. Recently Colbert announced he is running for President (with his goal ... (more)
The 2nd of two CORR events was this past Saturday here in San Diego (Chula Vista) and since I was still recovering from my Seattle trip, I did not attend like I normally do. Frozone and Gillmore went instead, and Frozone got some amazing video by hooking up our in-car cam to the rear of the FOX Racing truck. Check it out… it turned out awesome as usual!

It’s amazing after all these years of goofy robot toy development the latest masterpiece from Tomy is this hunkajunk called the I-Sobot. I think I saw some smooth “Bobby Brown Rock Witcha Pushups” in there somewhere. Nice.
Seriously… 6.5 inches of gyrating plastic for $299? And it doesn’t even fetch the paper…
Mike sent this one to me earlier today and it’s sad that I didn’t have time to look at it until now. This is pretty funny, especially if you have kids… check it out.

I love having this new blog… I can post about anything now which is great! Since I didn’t have this set up a few months ago, I thought I’d post it now before I forgot again.
I love trucks and off-roading. While I don’t currently have a truck, my last two vehicles were Ford trucks. I had a 2000 F-150 SuperCab and then a 2001 F-250 Super Duty CrewCab V10! ... (more)
What is the motivation behind destroying brand new consumer electronics such as the iPhone?
I don’t mean disassembling an iPhone for research and component information, I mean taking a sledgehammer to a brand new $500 iPhone.
I don’t get it, but here’s a compilation of iPhone destruction videos. Cringe away!
