Hi just a quick announcement video on the 6th of December I will be entering the 2014 Sydney Mud Run. It's a six kilometre mud and obstacle event I Love these sorts of things. Have been coming in quite a fuel then recently and I figured well I'm gonna go in it. why not actually do it for charity? And as it turns out, the New South Wales Cancer Council are cooperating with this event where you can raise money when you do this event.

So what cancer sucks? It really does. And I thought if we could raise some money through the EEV log into cancer research, that'd be fantastic. So that's what I plan to do. I've got a link down below if you want to sponsor me in this mud run and well, I'm sure we can break all records with the huge Eevblog audience.

We've got fantastic and raise some serious money. tax-deductible by the way, which is fantastic but I want ideas of what I can actually do during the event? Should I do six kilometres of mud and obstacles with an oscilloscope strapped to my back? Perhaps Maybe not this one. It's a bit too good. but anyway, if there's any manufacturers out there who want to sponsor me, that would be a fantastic maybe.

I can dress up I can do the whole thing as Doc Brown or even Marty McFly perhaps. What do you think? do both I don't know I want your ideas of some cool fun stuff I can do on a six kilometer mud and obstacle course? that'll be fantastic but I only want your suggestions if you sponsor me. so the link is down below please. it is tax deductible.

It's for a great cause raising money for cancer research, so if you can please help out it'd be fantastic. So yes, I will be getting video of the event so it should be fun. So anyway, if you can't help out that'll be terrific. Really appreciate it.

Catch you next time.

    I have an insanely busy schedule (who thought going back to college would be so time consuming? ๐Ÿ™‚ so I rarely have time to watch your vids, but I always enjoy them. ย I'm on vacation this week so I'm watching in batches. ย Glad to give to a good cause, and thanks to you for supporting it. ย Salut and the force be with you!

    As a suggestion, maybe see if anyone thinks their scope will work after? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Enjoy, and thanks for the vids!

    (EDIT: BTW it sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. ย Wish they did something like this here!)

    Donated. Strap a Fluke DMM to each leg and run like the wind!
    Actually it might be a good test for any "waterproof" DMM's you have – with follow up tear down…

    You should make the run carrying our favorite segment, a mialbag over your shoulder ;), donated!

    get real close to the mud…then sniff it to check if it has that vintage electronic smell.

    woww 60hz

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FriendlyFireGaming says:

    Drag a full size ATX PC case like a backpack through the mud. I'd be MORE than happy to buy you a case to do it with.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ETERNAL BLUE says:

    Try dragging some mud through 6km of oscilloscopes!

    Giving money to charity is not tax deductible here.

    The 60fps is very nice, once you get used to it!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars theamtrakvirus says:

    6km of running from the libyans?

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars redtails says:

    Love the 50-60fps option. And it hardly takes any additional bandwidth on youtube! At 720p it's 22mb for the 720p 30fps stream, and 29mb for the 720p 60fps stream. At 1080p it's 44mb and 73mb respectively

    If your computer can't play it, well, time to get a decent one ๐Ÿ˜‰
