Aprils Fool's Day from Google and YouTube!

I've  always enjoyed Google and YouTube for pulling their little April Fool's Day stunts.
There's been some that made me almost believe them.
Google had one (last year, I think) where you could use your webcam to help with your workflow.
I remember something about being able to delete email- by ball up a piece of paper with your hands
and the new Google software would use the webcam, recognize those movements and delete the email for you.
The whole spoof was well done..
This year's shenanigans are just as good.
So here's links to Google and YouTube's April Fools Day tricks..

Lawn Chair Camera Rig.

I made this Camera Shoulder Rig using a lawn chair.
I also made a how to video about it as well.
This video primarily shows the rig and it what's attached to it.
So- the finished rig is in this video.
The How To video is here- http://youtu.be/Hy9PXMRbvLo

$5.00 Garden starter kit, round two.

Here's the second round of plants growing.
I also used the $5.00 Garden starter kit to grow these plants as well. We have lettuce, squash, tomatoes, marigolds and something else. I'm not sure what it is...

How I made a Lawn Chair Camera Shoulder Rig

I made a Shoulder Camera Rig out of a lawn chair and other items I had in my garage.
It wasn't that hard and the result, is one I can live with.
PVC is super cheap.
This was actually cheaper.
I think it's nifty being aluminum and all.
The design is on YouTube.
It's a good one too.

This puts everything in one place.

Ladies Desk = Plant Stand. Everything is better with Spray Paint.

This Ladies desk is going to be a nice plant stand. 
It just needs some paint. 
I wanted to keep some of it's flavor. 
I didn't strip it down to bare metal. 
I just removed the large flakes with a wire brush.
Then I painted it...

Planting Rosemary for my Container Garden.

This is about the easiest plant to grow in your Herb garden.

It likes full sun and well drained soil and is really hearty.

I figured I'd do this plant first, mainly because the cuttings came

from a friend and it needed to go into the ground.

Quick and easy. They grow well from seed too.
