‘Skyaak Canadian Ring Wing Glider’ as Artist’s Muse
Copyright Tony Carp 2008
Check this short clip out of California. It was such a rush to see the Skyaak Ultra-Glow experimental prototype flying around in the night skies over Berkeley Campus! The video artist had to say this about his experience: Here’s a little bit of night flight with my new Skyaak Model 3 with the light kit. Flight is great, but more than that, this thing looks great at night and was surprisingly easy to catch (especially for people that had never thrown a Skyaak before). Distributed by Tu...

Make sure you have a safety net
Seth Godin’s recent blog post takes the gloves off and slaps an idea around the block. He talks in his usual frank and unflinching style about the ‘correct’ way to enter into the murky waters of e-mail marketing. Scary stuff! I have subscribed to quite a few e-mail newsletters over the year for example. And un-subscribed from all but three of them. I have signed up to RSS feeds from a few of my favorite web-based sites and actually find the ones that have survived the delete... Read Full Story
Making some progress w skyaak.com

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Ever have that feeling of intense disorientation when you are learning a new skill set or, say, on your first day at a new job? You know what I’m talking about, when everything is strangely fuzzy yet at the same time intensely magnified. You notice every little detail (at least on the surface…) while your head is in a bit of a fog? I’ve been in this situation quite a few times in my life, as I am not shy about leaping out of my comfort zone. It’s kind of a rush in a w... Read Full Story

You wanna hack? I’ll show you a hack!
As a tail-end of the holidays treat just had to post the Twittering Washing Machine video. Don’t know how viral this has gone yet. It is a great celebration of human ingenuity.  No wonder it’s hot. Not to mention how ironically ridiculous the idea is.        Read Full Story
