Lucy (2.0) third video

A while ago, I was thinking about podcasting...

Not knowing what I was up against, I contacted DJ Quincy Jointz, asking for advice on music etc.

He warned me on using tunes and the rights involved...
Then he mailed me his mix called 'HamsterTracker™ intro'!

He also gave me permission to use this... How cool is that?

This is now the sound track of Lucy's (2.0) third video:

HamsterTracker™ shouts to DJ Quincy Jointz for his awesome input!

Sooo cool to have your own theme!

How to photograph Lucy the hard way

When Lucy is on the coffeetable she does occasionally have a peek at the edge of the table.
I thought it would make a great shot, shooting the photograph from underneath:

(a schematic says a thousand words)

The concept of how I wanted to photograph Lucy.

The concept of how I wanted to photograph Lucy.

This proved more difficult than first thought:

My hamster Lucy looking over the edge of the table, photographed from underneath.

" What are you doin' dude? " - Lucy

Reasons for being a difficult shot to shoot:

Lucy only looks over the edge for a few seconds,
I don't know where exactly Lucy is going to do this
I couldn't see what I was shooting,
Aiming the lens the best that I could,
whilst keeping an eye on Lucy!

It was great to do, and I will try this again.
Maybe put a mirror on the floor so I can see what I am shooting...

How HamsterTracker™ COOL!!!

Lucy's banner is on Radio42.com!
When chatting over there, I noticed her banner, (randomly?) showing up for an approximate 15 seconds!

Then I wanted a screenshot, I only had to wait half an hour until it came by again.
I don't know if this is random... however, if twice an hour, that's 48 times a day!

HamsterTracker™-Tees Extreme HamsterTrackin' competition

Here are two HamsterTracker™-Tees I've worn and (machine-) washed 5 times.
As you can see, the washing is what did some damage.
I don't think this would have happened if I had handwashed them.

HamsterTracker(tm)-Tees washed five times.

HamsterTracker(tm)-Tees washed five times.

I still don't know why one logo has more damage than the other
Maybe it's got something to do with ironing it on...

I was lucky to wear a HamsterTracker™-Tee for 10 days!
(One Tee a day, washing them 5 times, two tees = 10 days!)

And it's still wearable!
