What can I say? I’m sorry — life happens. I missed Day 2 of Video Blogging Week 2009 and I feel awful about it. And now here it is, Day 4, and I’m just uploading my second video. I truly am a loozer. I wish I had a better excuse than “I fell asleep while I was editing”.
Sorry — I’m a little bit late to the party. I threw together this quick intro video to announce my participation in Video Blogging Week 2009. Please excuse my tardiness, I’ll try to do better with the next six. I fell asleep while it was rendering and didn’t wake up until midnight. Lame.
Hey, it’s me — Tim.
No, I’m not dead. Not quite yet… But that’s another story.
So, this is year three for the big Macheist bundle offering. If you’re not familiar with Macheist, it’s a yearly event where several developers get together and offer their applications to the community in this small bundle at a VERY discounted price. This year’s bundle contains 12 apps and is being sold for $39.
While doing a little online Christmas shopping this afternoon, I was overcome by the realization that I’ve REALLY been wanting a new camera. I’ve been making due with my 6-year-old (maybe 7?) 2-megapixel Fuji Finepix for FAR too long. Even in its day, it wasn’t much of a camera. My cellphone actually takes better pictures than it does. So, to that end, I navigated my way to Amazon dot com and dropped a little of my hard earned coin on a brand new Ruby Red, 8-megapixel, Nikon Coolpix L18. With the addition of a 4 gigabyte SD card, plus shipping, the grand total came to around $113. That’s less than half what I paid for the old Fuji, back in 2002 or 2003, as I recall. And the Ruby Red, well, who could resist?
