This is stunning time lapse footage of the Northern Lights, composed of shots captured over one week in Norway near the Russian boarder. Lately it has been one of the best times to see the Northern Lights in all their dazzling glory. Shot with a Canon 5D @ 30fps, mounted to a motion control dolly, compiled from nearly 22,000 images.

Memo to Time Warner Cable:
While watching a my Anaheim Ducks take on the Boston Bruins on Versus in the Los Angeles area, I had some time paused on my DVR to fast-forward through the intermissions, the Emergency Broadcast System put out a flash-flood warning.
When the alert went on, the cable box displayed EAS while the warning was on the TV. When the alert finished the TV flashed to where I was on the time-line and then it went live, so I just as quickly hit rewind, but there was no saved to rewind through. So I lost all the saved time I had… Not sure why the DVR software can’t accommodate the emergency alert and automatically pause the broadcast?
It amazes me the things that get through so many phases of testing before being released and this wasn’t something that wasn’t spotted as an issue at before the software was installed on the Motorola DCX3400 Cable box that I currently have.
Just borrow the code from DirecTv‘s “DoublePlay” feature.
