I was looking at a video on YouTube where they take a banana, put a watch on it then let the camera take a picture every second for a whole week. The banana had a light over it so naturally it got a really bad tan and you could see the second, minute and hour hands just going and going.
Perios by Martin Slovacek. It's totally free and you don't even have to install anything, just download it and run the exe file (after you unzip it of course). It finds your webcam and starts taking pictures as soon as you find a directory, choose the amount of time in seconds, minutes or hours then click the Start button. Once you are finished click the Export button and it combines all of those images into an .avi file.
I did find a program that cost $10 but it only works on the computer you register it on. Every computer after that costs $5. I guess it's a small price to pay but if you reformat your hard drive you might have to buy the upgrade for $5. I haven't tested that theory out yet and I don't plan on it either lol.
It's called Webcam Flix and I bought it for my laptop. I think it works a lot better because when you go to make the video it just looks way smoother than the free one I listed above.
I'm going to put it on my laptop and have it do time lapse on the Scooby Doo Chia Pet. I have a poor mans version of a time lapse video on YouTube of my Scooby Doo chia pet so I will redo it lol. It really is lame lol. I just gotta find it and I will work on that.
Update: I've changed some things in this post so if you notice something is different, it is. I took out the free part in the subject and I added that I did buy the $10 webcam software, only because it's superior to the free one. Here is the new Scooby Doo Chia Pet time lapse video I made with it.

New Low
The formerly known Sci Fi channel has always made kinda b-ish movies for their channel. Whether they be about space or medieval they are usually pretty badly acted. But usually I can get past the bad acting because it's not THAT bad that it's unwatchable. In fact I respect this channel for trying. I am just a really huge nerd that I love anything that they make. Until now.
The new SyFy channel doesn't seem to be living up to their past reputation. It's all the same people but just a different spelling of the same name. However this movie that is on tonight called Dragonquest is almost thee worst acted movies in SciFi history.
Marc Singer and Brian Thompson are the 2 names that are supposed to give this movie some creditability yet Marc Singer looks like he's been smoking weed the whole time. He looks like he's trying to be like Burgess Meredith. And I totally respect him too so I would never say anything bad about him but every time he goes off camera I can see him giggling lol.
Brian Thompson is doing a bang up job acting the same as he has in just about everything he's ever been in. Great job Mr. Man who can kick my ass into next week.
It seems the only guy who is really trying is the main character, the "chosen one". And Brian Thompson (don't kill me).
The special effects are good though. I'm not even paying any attention to this movie so the story is lost on me lol.

Long Grass
I mowed the lawn the other day but only got halfway through before the lawn mower quit on me. I didn't even get to do Chips rental house next door and he was mad that I didn't mow that lawn first. Oh well, you can't win. I'm mowing for free and get yelled at anyway.
So I was supposed to try again today because maybe the lawn mower just needed a little time out to think about what it did then let me mow but nooooo. It still has an attitude. So the rental house has long grass. I bet I'll get yelled at for not even trying.
It's not my fault the lawn mower doesn't work. It has a full tank of gas and the oil is at the full line and I also did an oil change like 5 or 6 mows ago which was when I started mowing for the season.
Well, it looks like he's gonna have to bring it back to Floyd's to have it serviced tomorrow. Good thing because I need to get that gel seat cover for my bike there anyway lol. 2 birds you know?

Pain Patches
I got my check today and I went to the grocery store immediately as soon as I found out that I got it (direct deposit). I got a package of Ben gay pain relieving patches. It has 5 patches that work on the neck to arm (why don't they just say shoulder?). I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to put it on myself being in the back and all but I managed.
Oh boy, I feel the heat already. My shoulder is on FIRE!!! It's just like Icy Hot but the icy doesn't dull the pain at all lol.
I was going to buy the ones that last 12 hours, forgot the name already, but they were expensive so I just bought the Ben gay ones. These only last 8 hours but that's ok. I also bought a Icy Hot stick, it's like a stick of deodorant but you put it on your pain and not your pits. Oh I better hide it so I don't accidentally put it on my pits. I'm not that really bright.
I was gonna go to the bike store for new handlebars but I don't want to be in the heat so I'm just gonna force er um I mean ask Chip to take me tomorrow. It's his day off so he can drive me. I hope they are open tomorrow lol. Then I wanna buy a new gel seat for my seat from Target or Wally World. Actually they have them at Floyd's the town hardware store.
The heat isn't so bad on this patch so I'm happy. Although the pain is going down into my elbow so I'm getting worried now. I see the doctor again on Thursday so if I'm still having pain then I hope she has a solution for me. Maybe she can give me a magic elixir that will turn the dial back so I can get younger and stop feeling like I'm elderly.
