I will pour out some brain fluid tonight for our homie Heat

 
Did you ever wonder why you see the shaft bending forward in some pics like this? Well, it's due to the camera.

It's an artifact of a CMOS censor in the camera which captures images by scanning from top to bottom (See FN1 below) ("rolling shutter"). The entire image is not captured at once. Between the time that it captures the hands and the time it gets to the ball, the clubhead has moved a fair distance, hence the distortion. If you flipped the camera upside down and captured the same image, the shaft would look as though it was bent the other way. It's a camera that's not well-suited for capturing fast moving objects, and it causes quite a bit of confusion! LINK

FN1 (NUance comment): I think the guy pretty much has the explanation for rolling shutter effect correct. Except I suspect the image is captured by scanning from the bottom to the top. That's why Tiger's hands appear ahead of the club head. The camera scanned the club head first, moving up the image. All the while Tiger's hands kept moving forward, thus appearing ahead of the club face with an optical illusion of a weird forward shaft bend.

edit: Now that I think about it some more, the scan might be taken from top to bottom. It doesn't matter top to bottom or bottom to top. Either way the other end of the club is going to keep moving as the image is scanned, and appear ahead of where it was when the scan started. So the guy in the quote is probably right. Top to bottom.

Rewatched "The Graduate" tonight. Tremendous soundtrack, and great movie. Dustin Hoffman was perfectly cast in this movie. But he sucked in every single movie after The Graduate, except for Rainman maybe. How did that guy get any role other than playing a total nerdfuck?

We use the same shredder to mow containment dykes. The things are a pain in the a$$ to use and are very heavy.

As someone who's been around equipment, backhoes, excavators, tractors, etc all my life, I dont see how something like this would be efficient. I would think you would waste so much time adjusting each deck as opposed to just having one deck (which our city and county has) and being able to adjust on the go and just making the necessary multiple passes.

Yeah, it looks much slower than one guy zipping along with a single mower. And it probly breaks down ten times as much. But it's got the cool factor. Oye!

 
Washington Post geography quizzes:

Can you name these cities by just looking at their street maps? LINK

Can you name these cities by just looking at their subway maps? LINK

I got 7/10 streets and 8/10 subways. (Had a couple lucky guesses on the subway quiz.)
