    Happy 230th Birthday, USA!

    A video clip of the finale of the annual celebration put on by some friends and I.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    Danger is my middle name!

    Seriously, though, as long as you pay attention to your surroundings and use common sense you're okay. Most of the things we use are idiot-proof. Without getting into too much detail, there are certain things we've used which, while spectacular, are a bit more dangerous than the other things. Nothing has ever happened (knock on wood) but I think we will replace these with safer alternatives in the future.
