Sorry for “lite” posting yesterday. I’m deadlining all this month while also trying to paint, trim, and partially re-side two walls of the house.<\/p>\n
I bought shingles and cedar boards in April in a wild-to-the-point-of-insanity fit of optimism. I dreamed spring would shortly yield to summer. Yeah. The supplies sat in the yard getting rained on. Now, we’ve got a brief eyeblink of dry weather. So I’m juggling: work-work in the a.m., improvement-work in the afternoon, dogs and housework … somewhere.<\/p>\n
I’m also getting to know a video camera sent by Terry Bressi The Checkpoint Beater<\/a>. The only previous video camera I owned weighed about 20 pounds and was bought from an ex newsguy in the mid 1980s. Its cassettes and for that matter its batteries were five times the size of this fancy little gadget<\/a>. And need I say this one has much greater capabilities?<\/p>\n Very cool; the new “Terry-cam” is designed to be strapped on or mounted to various surfaces for filming action (bike treks, rollerblading, snowboarding, and presumably cops violating citizens’ rights on the highway).<\/p>\n I promised Terry I’d review it on the blog. But you and he will pardon me while I catch up to the rest of you in the 21st century. My video camera learning curve is steep. I’ve just about got the thing figured out now. Next step; learning how to edit out and post a small clip to show you.<\/p>\n Anyhow, here are some outstanding links for you while I stick my nose back on the grindstone.<\/p>\n Sorry for “lite” posting yesterday.
