My friend lent me his sweet 24P video camera this weekend, so I took it out to Golden Gate park. Here’s a taste, combined with one of this week’s sounds:

Here’s my latest New Scientist video, chronicling a trip out into Monterey Bay to catch Humboldt Squid, which are spending more time in northern California waters than usual. Read Peter Aldhous’ excellent account of the trip here.

Last weekend I had a great time covering the NASA Lunar Regolith Challenge–a competition to see who could build the best remotely operated digging moonbot. Between each round, the judges would pack down the material with a machine that sounded like this (not quite exactly like this…I’ve played with the pitch somewhat):

Here’s the same sound, layered against itself three times, each at a different pitch and with a slight filter sweep. There’s some reverb on there too.
