Playtest of Rooftop Racing rules based on Mobile Frame Zero.
Yellow's scorecard after the fall. One Move system, one Jump system (after losing a Move and a Control).
Each frame is represented by a 1x1 brick with 1x1 round plate on top, for playtest purposes. Matching colored plates show landing points and path followed through the game.
The goal is to be the first to touch all three checkpoint antennae.
Various lounge-chairs and cocktail tables scattered atop the roof-deck for watching the sunset or just kicking back and relaxing
Our view was nearly obstructed by 2M people and a building. Then at the last moment, a 20 dollar handshake got us on to the 18th floor roof of the Martha Stewart building.
best. 4th. ever.

in my grandparents back alley....
All the houses are quite old and always give me this eerie feeling when I look at them...
It's not so much scarey, it's the history, life and generations of people that have and will make an impact in our lives.......for years to come....
I'm back and I'm so HAPPY, I've missed you all and flicker sooooooo much!!!
From the Wikipedia entry:
Dubrovnik is a historic city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia, positioned at the terminal end of the Isthmus of Dubrovnik. It is one of the most prominent tourist resorts, a seaport and the center of the Dubrovnik-Neretva county.
The prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik has always been based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Ragusa, it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries. Ragusa was one of the centers of the development of the Croatian language and literature, home to many notable poets, playwrights, painters, mathematicians, physicists and other scholars.

So I haven't been doing great in getting the photos uploaded the same day I took them, but I am sure some of you are glad to see something that was not taken at night or inside!
One thing I have vowed to do for the new year, and with this 365 project is to present my neighborhood and my surroundings to others, but also as a documentary for myself. One thing I wanted to document is this view of the fair city of Lakewood. Its from the window of the stairwell in my apartment building. Sometimes I take the stairs just to get this view. When the sun is setting, it can be nice to get a view of it, over the treetops and rooftops. It may not be the most astounding to some, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
Another thing I have vowed to work on this year is HDR. My friend tbower has an amazing collection of tasteful HDRs in his stream. He manages to display a scene with enhanced dynamic range, tastefully done, and similar to what we see with our eyes. I have also seen badly done HDR that is unrealistic and the effect is overdone for my taste, so I know what to avoid! So this scene may not look challenging, exposure-wise, but the sky was quite bright compared to the gloom that covered everything else. This was a 3 exposure HDR (+1, 0, -1) that provided the right amount of range I felt necessary, and I am really happy that it looks "normal" to me.
Steps: not outside my front door, but outside the apartment, so I will count this one at 9 steps.
