Like to fly?

I love toys that fly and that can be controlled with a remote.  It's a nice little piece of freedom on a virtual leash that's impressive to kids and dogs alike. I could play with them for hours but here's just one problem,  I stink at actually getting them from point A to point B. I've been playing with all different types of RC choppers, airplanes, kites, etc. but the result is the same,I crash and burn. The problem must be my hand eye coordination because the crafts are either too hard to turn or too hard to move up and down...duhhhhh.  The craft I've found to be the easiest to fly is called the  This baby is SUPER easy to fly because it only has one control- a jog dial that makes the toy simply go up and down. It's the type of toy that may get old to someone who can actually fly the more advanced types of crafts but to me it doesn't! Because of the florescent lights on the body and wing it looks coolest spinning around in a dark environment and when they suggest only flying indoor I'd suggest listening... don't wanna share why. :-) Check for your own on eBay and God Speed!

PS:Next I'm looking at the Hoverpod which is also part of the FlyTech line over @ WowWee. Looks cool!

Here's what The Lightstar looks like:

This is a video of Jack (age 3) flying it for he first time.

 

Dancing On Call For Helo - TechTV Days

One of the things I used to contribute to the TV show, Call For Help, back in the days of TechTV,  was showing my co-host , Chris Pirillo, interesting sites on the web.  The segment was called "Cat's Clicks" and it was a sweet gig.  I just found this funny video from one of the "Cat's Clicks" where I was showing off a download that was a screen saver of a dude that would dance on the bottom of your screen.  I can't find the download on the web.  Send it to me if you do, please.  Here I am dancing with the virtual dude.

Another REALLY funny video I just found is of The Screen Savers Wedding. The "Screen Savers" was another show on TechTV that I used to contribute to.  It makes me feel really uncomfortable when I'm watching it, and I can't help but ask myself, "Did they really get married on The Screen Savers?"

 

We sure did have a good time!
