Posted by Alfie the Cat on Nov 20, 2013 in BLOG | 0 comments Wow just go to 2:11 to see what this amazing Russian trio can pull off for strength and flexibility. What they do at 1:07 is interesting too… The rest of the running about dancy moves are filler it seems, but I guess Cirque de Soliel does that too 😉

FALSE ADVERTISING PERHAPS…

Posted by Alfie the Cat on Nov 20, 2013 in BLOG | 0 comments Credibility = zero! I think Social Shopper, Groupon, etc are often pushing companies that are over inflating prices to then over discount them to seem like a deal… I coined the phrase “over-deal” Either this place offering laser work is totally desperate and may not be around much longer OR they are overstating the value of the service and no one holds them accountable to justify...

BUILT A STEADY CAM RIG FOR VIDEO CAMCORDER. EASY PEASY.

Posted by Alfie the Cat on Nov 26, 2012 in BLOG | 0 comments Hey, so this is not going to replace a super fancy steady cam rig of any sort, but this works well to minimize some jarring movements.

RUNNING THE GRAND CANYON. A GRAND ADVENTURE.

Posted by Alfie the Cat on Oct 31, 2012 in BLOG | 0 comments What a grand adventure indeed! Last week I had the exhausting pleasure of running most of the Canyon and back. 28 miles from Phantom Ranch to North rim and back. I did that in 6:30 and am pleased with that.
