Random Blogging: July 4th Edition
Happy Birthday, America! Somehow, I’m missing out on the party. Both my girlfriend and brother are in Washington, D.C. today. Jason is with his girlfriend, and Julie is with people from her church. Had I thought about it sooner, I should’ve made plans to be there too. Instead, I’ll do some random blogging.
- I absolutely love my new Flip UltraHD. For the price, I don’t think you can find anything better in the world of video cameras. It’s small (fits in your pocket), takes 720p HD video, records digitally (no tapes), does great in low light and is super easy to use. My only complaints are: the zoom isn’t the greatest, and you can only use battery power (no AC adapter). Julie took it with her to Ireland and got some great videos. Here’s one of my favorites, of a great street band in Dublin (note: video embedded in HD. If it is loading slow, press pause after pressing play and let the rest of the video load before playing.):
- It’s almost the All-Star break and currently, the Reds are only three games back in the central division. They haven’t been playing very well over the last few weeks, but fortunately, neither has the rest of the division. It hasn’t been too out-of-the-norm for the Reds to stay in contention until around August and then fade as the season comes to a close. Here’s to hoping they can get hot after the All-Star break and actually contend this year.
- eMusic just rolled out a huge addition to their catalog. If you’re not a subscriber, it might be time to look into it. They just added a bunch of big name artists, and they’re still cheaper than iTunes.
