”When I was 5 years old my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They said I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” - John Lennon
For Halloween 2011, I made a fully-fuctional camera costume. It comes complete with LCD display, built-in flash, and shutter-release button.
It is also capable of wirelessly triggering my Alienbees strobes, and winning any costume contest with the click of a button.
See it in action
See how it’s made and more

This movie was excellent. I like how they enhanced it, but stuck with the animated look.
Today as I was driving back to my apartment, I saw the face of Jesus on someone’s car. When I say this, I would bet that you are imagining the same image as the one I saw. A white male with long brown hair and a short beard. Peering into the distance with a sincere, understanding look in his eyes. But why is this the image that we relate to Jesus? Is this really what He looked like? I did a little research and discovered that most all first-century jews actually had short hair. So to answer the question, I would have to conclude that this is not the way He looked on earth.
Although you could probably debate His appearance for years and never get anywhere, this is not exactly what I’m getting at. More importantly, this transformation of his actual appearance makes me wonder what else about Jesus has changed and evolved over the past 2,000 years. It made me wonder about the idea of universalism.
Universalism is a newer belief that many people are embracing. In a nut shell, universalism is the belief that eventually all people will be saved. Regardless of your race, religion, or even the way you lived your life, you’ll be saved. How well would this idea have gone over 2,000 years ago?
I think universalism is an easier way to look at death, but it is real? I don’t want to say that the universalist view is wrong, but I think we need to focus on the roots of the bible. Personally, I see a lot more support on the reality of their being a heaven and a hell. An eternal destiny.
Although our physical interpretation of Jesus may have changed over the past 2,000 years, I think it is much more important that we stay true to the values and words behind that sincere, understanding look.
This I believe: Someone someday will win it all for Cleveland, and the town will bust a nut so fine and rich that the grin will never flee its face. I may not live to see that, but just last night I listened to Tom Hamilton calling Travis Hafner’s walk-off grand slam, and Hammy went silent for a…
