I usually like to create my own content for this here blog, but this video (thanks, sister!) is just too awesome to pass up. Why don’t I ever think to make these kinds of things? Just push play, sit back, and enjoy.
Some time back a genius decided a great idea had been born. “Have a party we will,” he said. “A food fight party it will be,” he concluded. Invitations were made and sent out. A hardy few who knew not the words “food fight” showed up. Hilarity ensued.
There was a camera. Someone pushed the record button. Then no one did anything with the tape -until today. Grab yourself the latest version of Quicktime and give it a look:

Grab the latest version of QuickTime (here) and take a gander at the new testMonkey designs TV commercial. Post some comments on what I should have done differently ’cause I can tweak and replace at will. And dearest sister, you’ll need sound to make the most of my self-serving purposes.

It’s no secret that I hate flying. A lot. So why on earth would I volunteer to take a helicopter that happens to be smaller than my Nissan -a lot smaller- into the air with a camera? Some possibilities:
• I have a death wish
• I have a disbelief in gravity
• I have a disbelief in mortality
• I have a responsibility to get the news to the public
At any rate, I had a chance to go up in a two seater with A Flight Above helicopter flight training school to get flood coverage for KCSG TV. And I have to say, after the first wave of nausea subsided, it was pretty cool and quite comfortable. I must do this again. Soon. Very fun.
For those that expressed concern, the family of testMonkey is fine and not affected by the severe flooding in the area (aside from having to work like a billion hours straight). For a highlight reel of the flight, update to the latest version of QuickTime (here) and grab the file size right for you:
