Cameron: Cruising

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

I got a Sony HDR-SR10 video camera in August prior to Cameron’s birthday.  I used it for his birthday, then put it away for a while.  One day I got home, realized that I had not done anything cool with the camera.  So I went out and shot him riding around in his little car.  Nothing special, just messing around.  I found it recently and decided to put some music to it and post it on vimeo.  Be sure and check it out in HD.  Enjoy!

Cameron: Future Basketball Star

Monday, January 5th, 2009

I took some video of Cameron playing with his new basketball goal he got for Christmas and made a clip.  These were shot using my Sony HDR-SR10 in Slow Motion mode.  I am very happy with the results and love this camera! I am not sure why it is not in HD, I may need to render it again.

No Snow this Time

Friday, October 31st, 2008

We took Cameron to the same park I took him when it snowed a bit.  It was fun and he really loves it there.  The weather was amazing and afterwards we had lunch at the Lookout Mtn Cafe.  Good times.

Warning: Readers May Face Certain Death

Friday, September 12th, 2008

ike With Hurricane Ike (watch out Tina) bearing down on Texas, the National Weather Service released the following warning, “Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single-family one- or two-story homes may face certain death”.

A bit ambigous don’t you think?

In fact, I think that warning can be self-applied to almost any situation

Readers of my blog may face certain death.  That statement, while not likely to go far in increasing readership, is not necessarily untrue.  I am sure there is a term for that literary scare tactic.

We can question the usage but it does sound pretty good if you are trying to evacuate an unheeding public from grave personal danger.  An act that, if not for the fallout from Hurricane Katrina, I would be advising against.  I heard one person say, in preparation for the “certain death”, he filled up the bathtub with water, made sure the generator is working, and stocked up on lots of beer.

Sounds better than certain death, doesn’t it?

Last Night at the Lookouts

lookouts-pano

We said goodbye tonight to Lookouts baseball.  Once football starts, baseball is out of mind.  We love going to the games and tonight was not different.  This seemed to be a perfect night to go, not to many people, weather was outstanding, and Cameron was loving it.  He really like Looie and Slider, the mascots.  Didn’t get many good photos, but here are a few.
