Phantom HD Camera: 1080p, 1,052 fps, $118,000 price tag:

Uncrate:

Sure, it costs as much as 47 Canon 5D MK IIs, but you'd need nearly that many — configured in some sort of crazy, Matrix-like setup — to match the unbelievable 1,052 fps high-speed 1080p recording of the Phantom HD Camera … and the ability to capture slow-motion gems like this and this.

New Design, New Host, and Tumblr: How, Why

The malware attack(s) that my site suffered in recent weeks put into motion a series of changes which have been planned for some time now—some for a few months, some for a couple years.

What follows is a detailed explanation of the changes.

New Design

Over Christmas Break in 2007, I started two redesigns: One for Authentic Jobs and another for this site. The premise for this realign encompassed a concept that wasn't original, but one that I felt better suited my style of blogging.

Acrobatic Thieves Hit Best Buy, Get Away with $26,000 in Apple Laptops:

This reads like something out of a movie script:

They didn't appear on store security cameras. They cut a hole in the roof and came in at a spot where the cameras were obscured by advertising banners.

Tumblr Migration and Malware Update

cameronmoll.com was hacked pretty severely sometime (or multiple times) in the last few weeks. Because of this, many of you have seen malware warnings when visiting this site recently. I apologize.

All of this put into motion a series of events, many of which had already been planned for months—new design, switching hosts, and switching blog platforms. The malware issues were merely the catalyst for finally making changes.
