Fancy Pants Vlog

Watch Last Call with Carson Daly at 1:35am tonight on NBC (that’s the night of May 4th, the early, early morning of May 5th.

For you geeks, we’re shooting with the Panasonic Lumix GH1 with an adaptor and a Canon EF 50mm 1:1.8 II. It’s a very cheap lens ($100).

With the adaptor, we have to leave the lens all the way open (1.8), and it’s a prime lens, so no zoom. Because the lens wasn’t made to work with the Lumix, there’s no stabilization feature, hence the shaky shot. We need to get a cinema rig to do good handheld stuff. Until then, we’ll just use a tripod!

http://www.ted.com Alleviating poverty is more guesswork than science, and lack of data on aid’s impact raises questions about how to provide it. But Clark Medal-winner Esther Duflo says it’s possible to know which development efforts help and which hurt — by testing solutions with randomized trials.

Back up your SHSH blobs for Mac tutorial: http://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=9189

This is a tutorial on how to use AutoSHSH, a program made by ih8sn0w to allow you to backup your SHSH blobs for 3.1.3 (for iPhone and iPod touch) or 3.2 firmware (for iPad). By doing so it will allow you to restore your device back to the firmware you are on currently so that you can jailbreak with Spirit again in the future.
