Got To Play With a New Toy

Yesterday, K and I saw so many commercials for Big Lots, and an inexpensive camcorder they were selling, that we had to get get us some. There's only one Big Lots remotely near us, and it's the kind of place that when you walk in, you feel like you need to take a shower. Anyway, we got them and came home, and I've been itching to try it out. It is easy to use. (It's got one of those little bump-out USB connectors.) I took a dark little sample movie and put it up on YouTube (and then took it down), just to see how it works. It works.

Here's the sample I just made for you guys. It's not much, just me walking around the front lawn. (I'm not in it, only my voice.) Now to see how well it uploads here. I expect to write a real entry later on.

  1. Man, I'm far behind. *sigh* I love your neighborhood! It reminds me of the one I lived in when I was still with my real mom, full of those nifty smallish houses. I'm a big fan of smallish houses -- less to clean!

    I noticed in your video that you can hear the hum of the insects. That's one thing I miss; somehow in RI we don't have those noisy bugs. It makes me think of long, muggy, warm evenings playing outside as a kid in northern Virginia. It's a very comforting sound.
