When I punch in my voicemail password, it reminds me of Kayne's GoldDigger. I know it wasn't a conscious decision, but I wonder whether I should be concerned with unidentified, external influences.

Here I sit, broken software ... no, that's not how it goes ...
As I sit waiting for Movie Maker to recover from a crash (nice that it recovers itself from temp files; not so nice that it crashed in the 1st place) ... it dawns on me that "big sis" e-mailed me earlier from a Blackberry; Nai-Nai has a better camera than me; and yet, I type this an a PC that's at least 2-generations old.
Good thing that Casio, is not available yet online.

Career choices
Just in case jazz-hands don't work out for the girl, she could always fall-back to ... falling back.
Looking for a new digital video recorder. Tried and tossed this ... (terrible video - everything looked like blair witch)
Upgraded and tried out this ... but it's gone back too. (No tripod mount. Poor battery life. Video quality not good enough for $'s.)
Waiting for this to show up within catch and release distance. It claims to support new MPEG4 part 10 compression for better quality while still using less memory space than my current digital camera. 7x optical zoom, usable in video mode too. Just have to get over ... it's a Casio?
For now, it's back to the Canon S2 IS and video life 8 minutes at a time (or low res). And really, is that so bad? (Check back later for my response.)

So, I've set up shop on blip.tv (see link on sidebar) ... we'll see how that works out. Using YT was ok, pretty easy to set up and upload clips, but too much noise and it got embarrassing to have my video's always classified next to ... well y'know ... you're gonna make me say it aren't you? Ok, I don't want my kids hanging out on YouTube watching - swimming! There should be some controls ... it's all there for the curious (and amphibious). Backstroke, dog-paddle, treading water ... and you divers aren't much better either.
Oh yeah, I finally moved to new blogger as well. To celebrate, I picked a more generic and drabber (drabberly?) theme.
Anyways, hope to have new pics of kids and other happenings ... it's just been too cold for my camera. With the freezing shutter, everything and everyone looks like LeMans ... (that would be "Daytona" for any Merickens that happen by here).
