Pivothead Video Recording Eyewear


In the late 1990's, Warren Ellis wrote a comic book called Transmetropolitan. It was about a gonzo journalist who covered politics in a cyberpunk future. One of his signatures was a pair of unique glasses that worked as a camera, recording video and taking photos whenever he wanted. Pivothead's Video Recording Eyewear does the same thing?all without the politics, cyberpunk, or drug-fueled diatribes found in the comic book. Despite those omissions, this $349 (direct) pair of sunglasses is one of the most useful head-mounted high-definition video cameras we've tested. While it's not cheap and video quality isn't top-notch, Pivothead?offers one of the best ways to record exactly what you're looking at.

Design
Pivothead glasses come in four different frame styles (Aurora, Durango, Moab, and Recon), each with multiple lens choices. The Durango lenses are full-rim glasses, the Moab and Recon are half-rim glasses, and the Aurora is a single-lens goggle-style pair. Each model has at least one dark-lensed version, the Moab and Recon have clear-lens versions, and green, amber, blue, and violet lenses are scattered across the four lines.

I tested the Durango model with smoke lenses, which together look like an ordinary pair of sporty sunglasses. You can also get reflective, clear, or color-tinted lenses, depending on the style. All models are $349. The plastic is thick, but feels a little cheap, and doesn't compare in style or build quality to sunglasses from the likes of Oakley or Ray-Ban.?The glasses come with a hard case and a micro-USB-to-USB cable for charging and transferring files. Each pair comes with 8GB of onboard storage, letting you record approximately 80 minutes of video. There's no card slot for expansion.

Besides the small lens on the bridge of the glasses, the camera parts are tough to notice if you don't know they're there. The Power button is a small nub behind the bulk of the left temple, on the underside of the arm. A small rocker button on the top of the temple controls recording; pressing the rocker forward turns video on and off, while pressing the rocker backward takes still photos, which can be shot while recording video. The temples are more than a centimeter thick, but they flow into the design of the glasses, and the arms thin out to fit more comfortably around the head, with rubber padding on the inner sides.?

The only other hints that the glasses are actually a video camera are the micro-USB connection behind a small rubber door near the power button and a series of three small LEDs located on the inside of the left temple, just out of your peripheral vision. The LEDs indicate if the glasses are on, recording, charging, or connected to a computer. Pivothead decided to keep the LEDs out of the line of peripheral vision so they wouldn't get in the way of users performing high-risk activities like extreme sports. Unfortunately, the LEDs are very difficult to see in bright light. An audible tone to let you know the glasses are recording would help here.

Since the Pivothead glasses have only three buttons, you need to use either a computer or a smartphone to change recording settings. By plugging the glasses into your computer through a USB cable, you can choose the video resolution and frame rate, as well as photo resolution, burst mode, and even the focus settings. Free software is available for PCs and Macs to adjust the settings and simplify downloading files. You can also control the glasses and stream video online through an Android or iOS device with Pivothead's optional $99 Air Pivothead, a Wi-Fi-equipped SD card reader.

Performance
Pivothead eyewear offers a nearly perfect first-person perspective, thanks to the camera's position right between your eyes; it records exactly what you're looking at, from the angle you're facing. This design is a big improvement over side-mounted helmet cameras like the Contour+ ($499, 3 stars) or the Bluetooth earpiece-style Looxcie 2 ($149.99, 3 stars), both of which require you to check that the camera is pointing in the correct direction. If you're wearing the Pivothead glasses, you're recording what you're seeing, and that's all there is to it. The GoPro HD Hero2 ($299.99, 4 stars) remains the best choice if you need waterproof, shock-resistant video; the other cameras aren't as resilient.?

Because the sensor and lens are so small, video quality from the Pivothead is closer to a smartphone's camera capabilities than a dedicated camera or camcorder. It can record video at 1080p30, 720p60, or 720p30, and can capture up to 8-megapixel still photos while recording by tapping back on the rocker switch. But even at the highest quality setting, recorded video isn't particularly sharp. The glasses performed admirably indoors in good light, but slightly overexposed the video (above) on a sunny day at Coney Island. Still photos looked surprisingly crisp in my tests, but you'll get better performance from a compact camera with a decent lens and sensor. Audio quality isn't quite as good, and the microphone picked up the sounds of my allergies almost as well as it captured my surroundings.

The glasses offer an impressive 75-degree field of vision with little to no distortion, a boon when similar action cameras go for wide lenses at the expense of having a fisheye effect. Still, this is an action camera, and its ability to shoot 720p video at 60 frames per second makes it useful for sports or other activities that suit themselves to a first-person perspective.

Pivothead's Video Recording Eyewear is one of the most useful takes on the head-mounted camera idea I've seen. By simply moving the camera to the middle of a pair of glasses, it offers a better first-person view than any other action camera we've tested. The glasses I tested are unremarkable looking, and they feel a bit cheap for the price, but if you want to record video as you're seeing it, it's one of the best options available.

Alex Pasternack: New York's Giant, Beautiful New Park, Built Atop a Landfill, Makes New York City Millions

Public parks don?t tend to be cash cows, not unless they get advertising or become, well, private. But the park that sits on top of the old Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island is different. It won?t initially open for at least another three years, and its full opening won?t be until around 2030. But it?s already making the City of New York a cool $12 million a year.

It?s a gas. Methane to be exact. By harvesting the stuff that?s slowly belching out of what was once the largest garbage dump in history, the Sanitation Department is producing enough energy to heat approximately 22,000 homes. That energy will be sold to National Grid until the gas has been depleted, at which point it will be burned off at flare stations across the park.

We?ve drawn energy from the land for millennia. But these days, that land is often far away ? coal mountains, nuclear plants, offshore turbines. And it?s usually not the kind of land that we like to luxuriate on. Freshkills is the opposite: it?s a place for playing, for hiking and birdwatching and biking and horseback riding. Kayaking even. And also for producing energy.





Old days, new days

That?s because underneath the new grass and the soil and the ?impermeable plastic liner? is 50 years of trash produced by five boroughs. Everything from paper pizza plates and ?Thank You Come Again? cups to encyclopedias and orange peels decays into methane, and the park, which is three times the size of Central Park, has plenty of it: the mound of trash stretches across 2,200 acres, rises as high as 150 feet, or as high as a 15-story building. This is ecological regeneration at its finest, and strangest.

Turning landfills into parks isn?t new. Thanks to a 1930 decision by legendary Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, the giant salt marsh turned ash dump in Flushing, Queens that was immortalized by F. Scott Fitzgerald as The Great Gatsby?s ?Valley of Ashes? is now Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, home to a sprawling public park that hosted the World?s Fair of 1939, a UFO crash landing site in Men in Black, and today, the New York Hall of Science.

The Parks Department is sincere about transforming a symbol of ecological devastation into an example of environmental redemption. Even three years before its initial public debut, the park ? designed by the landscape architect James Corner and his firm Field Operations ? is exuberantly bucolic, with its generous vistas, scenic walking paths and a bird watching tower atop a swath of wetlands, where dragonflies and swallows and perhaps, still, the occasional pigeon, can be seen amidst the trees and tall grasses. There?s a new international competition for land art (?Renewable energy can be beautiful? is the tagline for the Land Art Generator Initiative).

And in a subtle bit of rebranding, Fresh Kills has been renamed ?Freshkills.? ??Kills? is a Dutch word for stream or estuary, but the specific words "Fresh Kills" were maybe a little harsh sounding,? says Raj Kottamasu, former community coordinator for the Parks Department. Apart from the Sanitation depots around the site and the occasional truck, there?s little indication of the hulking trash heap below.

'Family Guy' creator Seth MacFarlane donates Carl Sagan's papers to Library of Congress

Seth MacFarlane?said that the papers belonging to the astronomer and popularizer of science Carl Sagan were extremely influential to him, and that they should be accessible to everyone.

By Ben Nuckols,?Associated Press / June 27, 2012

In this 2011 photo, Seth MacFarlane poses for a portrait in Los Angeles. The Library of Congress has acquired the personal papers of the late scientist and astronomer Carl Sagan, thanks to him.

Seth MacFarlane once included a gag on his animated TV comedy "Family Guy" about an "edited for rednecks" version of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos," featuring an animated Sagan dubbed over to say that the earth is "hundreds and hundreds" of years old.?

Jokes aside, his admiration for Sagan runs deep.

The Library of Congress announced Wednesday that, thanks to MacFarlane's generosity, it has acquired the personal papers of the late scientist and astronomer, who spoke to mass audiences about the mysteries of the universe and the origins of life. While MacFarlane never owned Sagan's papers, he covered the undisclosed costs of donating them to the library.

"All I did was write a check, but it's something that was, to me, worth every penny," MacFarlane told The Associated Press by phone from Los Angeles. "He's a man whose life's work should be accessible to everybody."

MacFarlane ? creator of "Family Guy," ''American Dad!" and "The Cleveland Show" ? met Sagan's widow and collaborator, Ann Druyan, at an event a few years ago that brought together Hollywood screenwriters and directors with scientists. They agreed to collaborate on a follow-up to "Cosmos," Sagan's acclaimed 1980 miniseries, with MacFarlane serving as producer. Astrophysicst Neil deGrasse Tyson will host the series, which is scheduled to begin production this fall.

MacFarlane said he watched "Cosmos" as a child and devoured all of Sagan's books.

"He was an enormous and profound influence in my life," MacFarlane said. "He played an essential role ? some would say the only role at the time ? in bridging the gap between the academic community and the general public."

A planetary astronomer and passionate advocate for science, Sagan contributed to a variety of NASA projects and conducted research on the possibilities of extraterrestrial life. He also studied climate change and the "nuclear winter" that could result from a nuclear war. He died in 1996 at age 62.

The papers ? contained in more than 800 filing-cabinet drawers ? include correspondence with other scientists, drafts of Sagan's academic articles and screenplay drafts for the movie "Contact," which was based on Sagan's novel. Also part of the collection: his grade-school report cards and a drawing he made as a child about the future of space exploration.

Druyan said Sagan would have been thrilled to see his life's work made available to the public.

"He was a citizen scientist," Druyan said by phone from her Ithaca, N.Y., home. "He really believed that science belonged to everyone, all of us. He was a 'small-d' democrat in the truest sense of the word."

The donation is part of a busy week for MacFarlane, whose first live-action film, "Ted," hits theaters Friday. While he's known more for crude humor than his interest in science, he hopes to push for a renewed commitment to space exploration. Although he's a liberal Democrat, he was impressed by Newt Gingrich's recent comments about establishing a colony on the moon.

"In the late '60s, they just assumed that would be a given, that things would continue to progress and that the space program would continue to evolve, and it was a no-brainer that we would have a presence on the moon by 2000," MacFarlane said. "We're so far away from that, and it should be embarrassing."

Case Shiller: Portland Real Estate Prices Up 2 Percent In April ? OPB ...

Rebecca Roberts Galloway | June 26, 2012 7:21 a.m. | Updated: June 26, 2012 8:09 a.m. | Portland, OR

April's home prices in Portland were up by 2 percent, according to the latest numbers from the Case Shiller Index.?

Portland prices were down .09 percent from a year ago.

Last month, Portland saw a?price drop of 2.8 percent, a new low for the city and perhaps a sign the market had "bottomed out."

Case Shiller is a monthly report on real estate markets around the country.?

None of the cities in the report showed new lows for April.

Prices rose around the country by 1.3 percent in the 10 and 20 composite city indexes, reversing seven consecutive months of declines, according to the report.

Though prices continue dropping, the April report is seen as positive news because numbers are dropping at a slower pace in April than March, the report said.

Ten of 20 markets showed positive annual returns. They were Boston, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Miami, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Tampa and Washington D.C. Only New York and Detroit fared worse in April.

Royster S, Rancho Mirage, CA
I was there with a group of friends during St. Patrick's Day. I had never been to this place before but had so much fun. During SPD they had a few bands playing 70s music that were actually pretty good, along with some Irish bagpipers (with the sexy skirts and all) entertaining the crowd.?

They had a setting outside but was rainy, cold and miserable that day, I believe the staff went to great lengths to move everything inside. ?Two in my party ordered food and said it was good. As for me I only had beer that evening but surely Ill be coming back to try their lunch or dinner.

Roxanne P., Palm Springs, CA
Dickie O'Neals is truly the hidden Irish gem of Palm Springs, located in the old Riccio's, which is remembered by us locals as the old Rat Pac hang out of the Desert..


The food is delicious and satisfying, the servers are prompt and friendly, the atmosphere is casual ?pub-style family oriented, and prices are reasonable. If you're in town you must experience Dickie O'Neals Irish Pub and check out the Rat Pac booth complete with photos of old blue eye's ...Don't forget to get a T-Shirt to wear on your travels because Dickie's encourages you to share photos on their FB page. LadyBossPS, Palm Springs, CA
Dickie O Neil's is a great local bar! 2 for 1 burgers on Tuesday nights, All You Can Eat spaghetti and meatballs on Thursdays and lots of other great specials. Don't forget breakfast all day at a great price. Service has it's ups and downs but since it's a great neighborhood bar with lots of TV screens for sports and games you can easily occupy yourself while you wait. Karaoke on Friday. Give this place a chance.

Mary S, Minneapolis, MN

Dickie O'Neal's is our favorite place to go when we are in Palm Springs during the winter months. ?We can always count on a consistently good meal, consistently good service, and a friendly atmosphere for a very reasonable price. We prefer going to a place where everybody knows our name.

We also like the Irish items on the menu - fish & chips, shepherd's pie, the best bangers & mash this side of the emerald isle, and not to be forgotten the best corned beef and cabbage in the valley. ?We also enjoy the turkey dinner and all the trimmings on Sunday evening, the 2 for 1 burgers on Tuesday, and the bottomless spaghetti and meatballs on Thursday.

Breakfast at Dickie's is great too bottomless mimosas. Michael and his staff always make us (and our guests) feel welcome and we look forward to our return next January.

Jas S, Bloomington, CA
I like Dickie O'Neals. I used to go to Sherman's a lot, and was looking for an alternative, and I found a good one. The food is good, and reasonably priced. Drinks and service were good. Parking was good (although they sprayed water all over my newly washed car while cleaning the drive. errrrrrr!!!) But, other than that I really like breakfast there on the weekends. Not too crowded either for a sports pub. We'll be back.

Richard R, Palm Springs, CA

Ate at Dickie's about a week ago. ?On Tuesday they have 2-4-1 burgers with your choice of side. ?Also can get a veggie burger for free. ?You get a ton of great tasting food for $7.95 for two burgers and fries or onion rings (which are great) is a great deal. ?Definitely check it out. ?I'll be going there again so look for further reviews from this great little place.

Rebecca S, Palm Springs, CA
Came for a few drinks. It was dead and then picked up. Seafood platter was awesome. Bartender was friendly and made us a great shot.

BJ J, Simi Valley, CA

Dickie's ROCKS!! ?It's a very fun and friendly place... the owners are very involved with every aspect, they always come over to our table to ask how we liked the food, etc. and have even provided samples of items they are thinking of adding to the menu to get customer's responses, they truly take pride in their pub. ?And by the way the food is ALL very good, the wings are to die for! ?Dickie's is always on the agenda whenever I visit Palm Springs.

Allen E., Palm Springs, CA
One of my favorite places in Palm Springs! ?Great food, no attitude and fun events. ?I try to make it there at least twice a month. Try the chicken wings! ?I highly recommend!

Steven O., Desert Hot Springs, CA
The Breakfast Experience: On travel or on vacation one needs a good breakfast place. I need and insist upon a restaurant that serves reliable, tasty, pleasant breakfasts in a friendly low key atmosphere.? I like ?to take my time and ?enjoy the start of the morning.

I highly recommend the breakfast service at Dickie O'Neal's Irish Pub, Friendly staff, and fast low key service. No rush for table turnover like some others. Take your time. I like their three egg omelet with sliced avocado. ?Getting hungry yet? Fans of NTN Trivia will find "The Game" is on. Large parking lot, street parking, and convenient access along North Palm Canyon Drive.

TIP: Don't try to make a left turn across the double yellow line. ?Just go to the next intersection and u-turn south on Palm Cyn. Then an easy right turn into the parking lot entrance, or just park on Palm Cyn.

Nancy S, San Francisco, CA
We stopped in after driving from San Francisco and really enjoyed the burgers especially when we found out it was two for one price. ?They were friendly ?and came over to our table to talk to us. ?I think because John is from Ireland too, but we enjoyed ourselves.

We actually went back for breakfast and it was good too. We will definately stop there again on our way to see family in Arizona.? We enjoy the updates and emails too.? We give it our thumbs up and the 5 stars.

Kris B., Palm Springs, CA
We receive great service, and the food is good. ?The prices are more than reasonable and we love the atmosphere. ?They pour a full glass of wine, how novel! ?Dickie's is very close to where we live, so it is one of our favorite haunts. I recommend it to sports fans and lovers of Corned Beef and Cabbage.

Then of course, there are the 5 really negative comments that they just plain didn't dig Dickie O'Neal's Irish Pub Restaurant...But, you can't please every one.? We try.

Debdorchester, England
Had dinner here one night. Our waiter was having a beer on his day off and was put ended up waiting on us. He was great and the food was very good.

Stuarto99, United Kingdom
You know you found the right place when the local eat and drink there. Great menu at very good prices for Palm Springs. The owner certainly makes you feel welcome and values your custom.

Palmer101, Tucson, AZ
Nothing fancy, just good service, good food, Guinness and Old Speckled Hen. After 2 -3 visits to England, we enjoy a good pub and this was a good, neighborhood style place.

Joe W, Palm Springs, CA
Good pub type food and prices that can't be beat! Specials (food and drink) really are worth seeking out. Lots of TV's for sports viewing. Bit on the loud side, but bearable.

AlamosChris
Other than being near me this place has some pazzazz with yummy Mac n cheese great burgers home made potato chips Mmmmmmm try the bloody marry in the morning. The sassy waitresses add to the fun. Oh and the onion rings.

Bartbc, British Columbia
Friendly atmosphere, great beer selection in bottles and on draught, really good pub menu. I had the Corned Beef and Cabbage and it was excellent!! Highly recommended!!

Letsflywinnipeg, Winnepeg, Canada
Went to Dickie O'Neal's Irish Pub Restaurant 3 times something different each time , allways happy with the service and quality of the food and reasonable prices.

UWRF
We were here on a Saturday night and there was live music, which was very good. A little loud, but to be expected in a small venue. Our waiter, Terrell, was excellent - giving us enough time to order, eat and enjoy the music - and making us feel welcome. Portions are generous. Homemade chips great! Reasonable prices and daily specials.

Felttask, Denver, CO
We went for some food and drinks and a great band was playing! We all had fun and said we would go back again for sure! Service was excellent, Terrell was there whenever we needed him!!

JDK, Scotts Valley, CA
It took us less than 30 minutes to walk (briskly) from the Hyatt Regency Suites ..... and we benefited by getting a great meal for a very reasonable price. The big plus - Guinness on tap for $4 !? We saw Dickie's on the drive in toward the Hyatt and we forget to check the distance, so we were pleased that it wasn't 3 miles away ! The walk whetted our appetites, but still - we were sure that the meal would be too big to eat alone. We were right .....

We had the full rack of ribs, served with a generous portion of french fries, onion rings and cole slaw. The french fries were unremarkable and probably they didn't benefit from lying underneath the ribs. The onion rings were outstanding - I had a few at the start of the meal and a few at the end. They were crisp from start to finish and were not overly greasy. The cole slaw was a bit spicy (maybe horseradish ?) but not unpleasantly so. It gave it a nice kick.Lucky for us, we got there early (Friday night), as there were two large parties going on. The place was filled with locals for happy hour and dinner, and the staff was also preparing for karaoke night.

If you want a good meal at a reasonable price, get in a big of exercise to whet your appetite and work off the dinner, and did I mention, Guinness on tap for $4 ????, then Dickie O'Neal's is your place. If you just want to spend a lot of money and save your feet, stay downtown. There are plenty of places to do that !

Rich F, Canton, OH
Dickie O'Neal's Irish Pub is a great place to watch the game with your friends. The food was delicious. You can order off the full menu or off the special NFL football menu. Every game is played on all of its 12 TVs and the excitement is intense.? We decided to have breakfast and catch the first game. Very comfortable and the staff is truly professional, yet down to earth and fun.? I love this Irish Pub!

Joanie S, Dublin, Ireland
What's important to me and my friends, visiting a strange land, is to find places that is welcoming and makes us feel safe. My girlfriends and I are traveling the States and ended up in Palm Springs.? I was glad to find a place like Dickie O'Neal's. It's a true pub.

Very friendly (the owners took the time to come over and talk to us like we were friends), the food was excellent, generous portions, very clean, and affordable.? We weren't looking for a night club, just somewhere to be together. We were also back for breakfast which was very authentic. The bangers and mash were delicious, and we even tried the macaroni and cheese (which I hear is a Irish grandmother's secret recipe).? Visitors unite! Dickie O'Neal's is a safe haven! You'll be glad you did.
