Good Morning All!
I'm getting ready to leave for my Sunday morning WW meetings in a bit.
I worked on taxes yesterday. I think today I'll do the electronic filing.
During the week, I ended up getting the Sanyo camcorder that Holly had found.
Amazon still had the warehouse deal and were down to 3 units left, so I thought, why not? Plus, it had gone down another 20 bucks. It came out to being $150 cheaper than the list price and $90 less than the normal Amazon price.
It's also tiny and weights 8.4 oz, which is much less than my much older digital-8 Sony camcorder. I did not use it much because it was a pain to schlepp around and taking clips off of a tape could be time consuming. It was an ease of use thing.
I was out and about for a bit of the afternoon playing with it. I took some sample video of Sukie. Not sure I can post it, as it is probably offensive.
Not a bad little camera, better outdoors than indoors, but suits what I wanted. It's palm sized and very easy to take video clips off and onto, in my case, my Mac. Plus it's waterproof, and can be submerged for up to 30 minutes at a shot (to a depth of 5 feet).
Taking video off of it was remarkably easy. Much more like working with photographs than the old video tape. I went from the camera to iMovie, to do some editing, but it's possible to go directly from the camera to Youtube.
It also takes 8 mega-pixel still shots, so it could double for me in pinch for snapshots (I still prefer our Fuji cameras for stills).
I think there will be videos from Typhoon Lagoon during this next trip. I never take my camera because of the fear of getting it wet.
Today is going to be an Ebay day. A few things are going up for sale. Now that we have iPhones, my old iPods are going on the block as is the Sony Digital-8 camcorder. My iPod was a 40gb and Sukie had a relatively new Nano. The Sony Digital-8 recorder is also in fantastic condition, so I'm hoping all three items go fairly quickly.
Sukie has created a new rule at Eastwood Manor .... "If Ian brings something into the house, that means something must leave the house."

See you next week
She was saying awesome...
Willie, just like me and I love him to pieces. Not that I don't love Molly of course, I just find some of her traits annoying...it's ok I guess because she isn't loving me at the moment either 
I'd let him do it, and it would make his dad go through the roof! 
is to spend the rest of the day with her fingers in cool water and to refrain from taking any heavy utensils and beating the microwave up.
