Boogie Board
Some headcam video of me playing with a Boogie Board




Played with one of the $35 Electronic LCD Boogie Boards in Brookstone. It's also available at Think Geek. Neat device. Fun to play with, but I couldn't imagine anything practical I'd use it for, so I passed on buying one. Maybe if it was $20 instead, I wouldn't have been able to pass it up.
Another Jenn Animated Gif
One unexpected use of the new camcorder. Taking the footage from it and converting little clips to Animated Gifs.
The below is 1.5 megs so it might take a minute to load and start to play.

There's another one a little further down this page.

Today is the anniversary of my and Jenn's first date. I wouldn't normally steal from a VH1 logo but it really has been the...
Best Year Ever.
Jennifer has been the best part of my day. Every day. I could go on and on, but I'll keep this post short--
I love her and look forward to each upcoming day adding up to Best Year Ever, year 2, 3, 4 ... you get the idea.
Nifty headmounted video camcorder




I got the above little camcorder in the mail today. Ordered it off of Dealextreme.com a Hong Kong importing company for about $35. It has 4 gb of flash storage, which should give it about 2 hours of recording space at 640x480. It's the size and shape of a small blutooth headset/earpiece. Push once for standby and push again to record. Pretty nifty.
Hoping to try it out a little this weekend.

Jenn and I went to Jeff's 30th Birthday party yesterday. It was a Zombie themed event. We brought along some graveyard cupcakes and wore our Zombie best. Links to more and video are below...
Jenn has a nice Blog write up with pictures and here is a flickr photo set of the event.
