Samhain or All Souls day?

Did you know the origin of Halloween has a colourful history. It is believed that in the early Celtic culture, this time of the year signaled the begging of the dark parts of the year and the ending of the light part of the year. It was believed that the spirits of the dead and of fairies can cross over and visit loved ones or cause harm depending on their preference. The costumes was originally to disguise yourself from the spirits so they would not harm you. So moral of the story, have fun but beware the ghouls out there, * They could be watching!!!* *low whisper*

Controlling Time?

A friend of mine hooked me up to this trend; use simple electronics and water to create magic!! Check it out pretty cool.Run the rubber hose down past the speaker so that the hose touches the speaker. Leave about 1 or 2 inches of the hose hanging past the bottom of the speaker. Secure the hose to the speaker with tape or whatever works best for you. The goal is to make sure the hose is touching the actual speaker so that when the speaker produces sound (vibrates) it will vibrate the hose.
Set up your camera and switch it to 24 fps. The higher the shutter speed the better the results. But also keep in the mind that the higher your shutter speed, the more light you need. Run an audio cable from your computer to the speaker. Set your tone generating software to 24hz and hit play. Turn on the water. Now look through the camera and watch the magic begin. If you want the water to look like it’s moving backward set the frequency to 23hz. If you want to look like it’s moving forward in slow motion set it to 25hz.
