Last Wednesday there was a festival in the parking lot behind the lab (Ottawa Market area).
So we had a drink and also flew a Squirrel. As you can see, when there are lots of adults around they are eager to give direction to teenagers.
You can also see what a pleasant city Ottawa is in the summer. Mild weather and lots of social crowds.
Here is Dinkar and friends in India making another record attempt for the record page.
The jury is looking at the raw video now to assign it a time. 🙂
We had a Squirrel-O-Rama at Atomic Rooster.
Sanjay showed off his clear Squirrel. I can’t remember the material he used but it was a little heavy.
I’ve done some volunteer work with BBBSO.
This is an enriching experience and I highly recommend people to have a look at this.
If you are already involved with Big Brother and would like some Squirrel planes for your activities, please contact me!
Dinkar Narwad is a school teacher in India. He has been borrowing a camera and using his phone camera to share what he”s been up to with the world.
We sent him a camera but it was lost in the mail. If anybody has a digital camera with video they’re not using and you’d like to donate it please contact us!
If you’d like to make a donation towards a purchase of a camera (and shipping it to India), please follow this button.
The camauera that went missing in the mail:
Serial Number: KCXGW72400826
Model: Kodak Z1275 Zoom Digital Camera
Found using: http://regex.info/exif.cgi
Here are some pictures of the box I used to send my old camera as well as a picture of the camera.
Update August 6, 2012:
No-one came forward with a donation so I bought one myself. It is on it’s way as of 11:45am today.
I purchased it in USA and had it shipped directly to India.
I got a good deal on one thanks to thecamerabox (ebay ID).
Nikon chargers work on 240V so the only challenge will be the plug-in style. An adapter may be needed. I am assuming it has a North America 110/120V plug in chord.
