My neighbor Tom was at the Minnesota State Fair last Saturday (as were Jen, Jake and myself) and he got stopped by a Fox News reporter that was basically pointing out what kind of freaks live in Minnesota. Check out the video below. He is the one with the white Maui shirt on and backward baseball cap.
When I bought the new iPhone I FULLY expected to be able to plug it into my existing iPhone cradle and have it magically work. Silly Clay…that would be too easy. I detailed out my original iPhone car integration here.
The new iPhone is about an 1/8 of an inch wider that the first one which means the cradle from ProClip is useless. I was able to get in touch with someone at ProClip who told me they would have a new cradle, but not for a couple of months. If you know me, you know that I don’t have that kind of patience. Enter the Dremel tool! I was able to carve out some plastic and spead it out with some plastic spacers. Worked excellent, but I will still buy the right one when it comes out. This works for now.

Ok, let’s get this striaght…I love my new iPhone (16gb White One), but like any product, it has its downfalls.

I found out this week from some folks at work that the nearly 600 foot tall smoke stack near my office was going to be demolished this morning. Great photo/video opportunity for myself and Jake! We woke up earlier than normal and trekked over to St. Paul. There were tons of people there. We were fortunate enough to get a spot on Cliff Road directly across from the old coal burning plant.
At 7:30 with no siren warning that anyone around me heard, a small explosion occurred at the base. The plan was for the tower to topple on a series of dirt mounds that would cushion the fall and break the material up more easily. The missed their target “by that much”, but the worst of it was some debris that shot across Shepard Road (which was closed).
I shot a little over 110 images during the fall sequence (thank you Canon 40D!). You can enjoy the photos up on my Flickr account or click on the YouTube video below.
