MURRIETA, California - Last night around 7:45pm, a Nissan 350z skidded into a telephone box on Whitewood Rd. I heard the accident from my driveway. It sounded like a long skid followed by a loud thud that was none other than a car slamming into a stationary object. Then I clearly heard a another vehicle speed off. I am assuming there was another vehicle involved, but this is purely speculation on my part.

The accident knocked out telephone, TV, and internet service for Verizon customers for almost 24 hours. In fact my internet was just restored as I am posting this video. As you can see in the video, the metal box was torn up, so many thanks to the Verizon guys who worked all through the evening in an effort to restore the phone, and internet service.

This stretch of Whitewood Rd, in Murrieta, California is notoriously dangerous. I hear cars speeding along this road all the time.

This movie appears to be very good. I have yet to see the Dark Knight, but since I am not much on the “theater” experience, I will wait for the DVD.

Quicktime required

Steve Jobs… there is no charge for running your commercial…LOL

Naturally you could watch this from Apple’s website, but I am posting this commercial to further test my quicktime popup techniques. I am still working out a few bugs.

I am sure Apple loves this, and that’s probably why they give away their video.

In this short video, Scott Bourne shows you what a gimbal head is and how you use it to mount a long telephoto lens.

The lens in the video is the AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED
