Slot Car Cam
If you want to get a real feeling of speed from a piece of video, try strapping a camera to a Scalextric or similar slot car. It could be a use for a Tony Hawk cam.

Hallowe'en Critical Mass
Dammit! I forgot about Critical Mass again this month! And only 11 people turned up. My presence would have been so appreciated.

Art by Michele Pouncey
Rather gorgeous abstract pieces made by doing relief prints or etchings of everyday and found objects.
Full disclosure- my sister designed her website and is going out with her brother. But that doesn’t make the art any less striking, does it?

Sheffield Ski Village
Sheffield Ski Village is planning to expand with an Indoor Snow Arena. Planning permission should be decided this week.
How british are you?
There seems that Britain is taking a leaf out of Canada and US with citizenship tests. I guess it is in reaction to the latest home bombings. Test

Tony Hawk Helmet Cam
Another offering to let you video your own POV footage of stunts, the Tony Hawk cam is endorsed by the man himself. It has a few benefits over the previously mentioned Sports Cameras. Not only is it cheaper, but it’s self contained, recording onto an SD memory card. The basic unit only comes with a 32 meg card, but larger cards are fairly cheap, certainly cheaper than the Sports Camera’s required recording equipment.
Resolution is 640 by 480. There’s no video on the site to give an indication of its quality, but what I saw on the Helmet Headz stand at the Ski and Board show was quite good.
