Aerial Photo Day

My last day of 2013 was a day off... but I went in anyway for my annual Robinson R22 helicopter ride and an aerial photo tour of the Kona Airport. It's holiday time of course and the well-heeled folk are here for warm weather celebrations in numbers once again. I counted about 51 private and leased jets on the ground today... not the largest number we've ever seen this time of year, but respectable none the less.

Happy New Year, Everyone! And good fortunes to you all in 2014!

Chocolate Bar Fiction vs. Fact

This clever little Hersey bar animated GIF on Google+ has been making the rounds lately, and it got me thinking, "How does that work?" It wasn't long after that I thought, "Why not use a little bit of AutoCAD to look into it further. So I did.

It turns out that magicians are pretty clever dudes after all! :) Like everything else they do this is a little misdirection and a lot of optical illusion.

So here's my video to show what's *really* going on!



I've probably been to too many Penn & Teller shows in Las Vegas. Now *I* want to explain how every trick is done! :)

Reaping for Dummies

We know here at the 2020HeinSite blog that this is the opening weekend for Part 2 of the Hobbit series, "The Desolation of Smaug". And we tried to get it for you. Honest. We did. We tried. But it was a bit pricey, and our service provider was a little wary of airing it... what with lawyer things and all. So instead we got you something else. Something shorter. Something less expensive. But just as dark. Not. We think you'll like it anyway.

Enjoy this week's Friday Night Movie anime... "Reaping for Dummies"
