A Night at Disney

I set about editing more of my first video footage shot with the new HD. This one is from February, 2009. I was in Orlando for the ACA National Conference and shot reels of useless footage but I managed to find some little gems. Here is the first one. I might have a couple more [...]

• The Weather Coconut This is a fun idea from: http://games.greenghoulie.com/camp_fun.htm#The%20Weather%20Coconut who borrowed it from some other place and so on... Design: Dangle a stump, coconut or any other selected item from a rope on a 4 feet tall tripod and then lean on the leg of the tripod was a sign that reads Weather "(insert your chosen object)" followed with instructions on how to operate the weather tool. To build the mystery, the author writes: All meteorologists know the special weather-predicting abilities of the coconut, but this important information rarely reaches the public. After consulting with many in the weather-field and attending a secret meteorological ceremony in the heart of a volcano (they don't mess around), I was told about the mysteriously wonderful properties of the coconut. Here are some rules to include on the board: INSTRUCTIONS: Do Not Touch If it is moving, it must be windy If it is not moving, there is no wind If it is not there, it was stolen!!! If it is white, it is snowing If it is wet, it is raining If it is going "Tink, Tink, Tink", there must be hail If it is on fire, run! If you cannot see it, it is foggy If it was swallowed by the earth, there is an earthquake" If it is acting bored, there is no weather If it is casting a shadow, the sun is out If it is involuntarily bobbing up and down, there is a flood If there are steaming rocks raining down upon it, there is a volcanic eruption If it ends up in Oz, there was a tornado" That's it now, build your own Weather Stump and send me a pic. I think I am going into the garage to see what to make my own...a "weather globe" perhaps. #
