Stereoscopes

Austin introduced us to a cool way to see 3-D photographs or "stereoscopes". To make it work, click on a picture and then cross your eyes so that the pictures overlap. Focus your eyes when the overlapping pictures match up in the middle. At that point you should be looking at a 3-D picture. If you're having trouble getting it to work, try moving the picture further away from you (so it looks smaller). Don't get angry if you can't get it to work; not everyone can do it. Here are a few stereoscopes that Austin made when we were on vacation at Catalina Island, CA.

Redbull

We attempted the redbull flugtag last weekend. Here are some of the 'flying machines' that they push into the water.

This is where they fly off into the water. I thought it was pretty overrated. You couldn't really see much, but it didn't seem to bother all the people below. From our beach (oak st.) all the way up to North Ave. people lined the waterfront.
