Scientists Attach Mini Camera To Peregrine Falcon, Awesomeness Ensues

This is awesome, and reminds me of something I would have daydreamed about when I was younger. The Peregrine Falcon reaches speeds of nearly 200 mph… The fastest one was clocked at 242 mph. In this video, a mini video camera was attached to the back of the falcon (as well as a Goshawk) and the resulting footage is nothing short of awesome. Check it out here.

In other news… Between work and social life, I’ve had little time for this site, as you can see in the lack of regular posts. Life in SoCal is great. I’ve been seeing a ton of live music (seeing Furthur tonight and Bluetech on Thursday) and there’s something fun going on every single weekend (going to Vegas for a bachelor party this weekend). I still refuse to let this site die though, and will continue to post things here whenever I’m feeling inspired.

    Hi John,
    Nice clean blog you have here, thanks to your Listening To thing you have completely reminded me about them. I watched the video while listening to Caribou – Jamelia hehe. Double awesome. And also Bluetech is good stuff eh. Bluetech is a staple of mine to listen to while blogging, especially Prima Materia and Elementary Particles. Listened to those on repeat lots and lots of times. Have a good one!

    Great footage. It is almost as I wish to be a Falcon in my next life :-)

    Excellent points altogether, you just received a new reader. What could you suggest about your put up that you just made a few days in the past? Any certain?
