I was watching a little bit of Wimbledon
last night, the left/right swivelling heads
of the spectators having
long
been a source of amusement for me. Golf
provides a variation of the same theme
as
many heads point skywards following the
trajectory of the ball in flight.
The problem
with this is that it's just not
dramatic enough. What is clearly needed
is
a device which emphasises the gesture
while drawing more attention to the
actual
line of sight. The Cursory Glance Baseball
Cap solves this problem.
Just like the baseball cap itself it is
available in a variety of styles, and sizes.
Shown here is the mid-range standard.
Next time that hard to spot ball is in the
air, simply follow the direction of those
cursors.
Other baseball caps are under
construction.

Bun, just for the picture. Hilarious. |
|
| |
what of people who wear their hats in
different directions? |
|
| |
You could put someone’s eye out with that thing. |
|
| |
//what of people who wear their hats in

and have to go to Hat School for re-
education. |

Apologies for churning up an old idea, but this proves that all of my picasaweb links no longer work because googlefuck knows better than their users. I will welcome any simple viable alternatives that my patient friends here may suggest. |

Drone-launched missile strikes ? |

I always think that the only reasonably stable way to
host things online is to build your own website and
link to that. |
|
| |
Another option would be if [jutta] were feeling
magnanimous and created a picture-hosting adjunct
site, so that images could be uploaded by users from
the Halfbakery itself, and viewed therefrom.
However, that would involve considerable time and
resources, and may be undesirable for other reasons. |

// build your own website and link to that // |

It's cheaper to hack into a major ISP and host your stuff there. |

Indeed - the hb might become a clearing house for jihadi propaganda ... |

Just another illustration transfer to Tumblr. |
|
| |
That November 3rd illustration link just
goes to a tumblr login page for me
[xenzag]. |
|

ETA: yes, fixed now Nov 4th, thanks |
|
| |
Aghhhhhh I'll take a look. Thanks for letting me
know. Think that's it fixed. |

I vaguely remember "spot the ball" competitions where you'd
guess where the ball was supposed to be based on the
players heads, or something.
I wonder if it would be possible to train a neural network to
track ball position based solely on video of the audience -
and if so, how accurately. |
