Starbody

There is no good excuse for that title, other than sometimes I just can’t help myself. And really, I owe myself a little indulgence into crap every now and then don’t I? I like to think so. And anyway, today was SO bad that I really thought I might have to hide in my closet to fend off the craziness. So a little poor taste seems mild.

Thanks to the husband, instead of hiding in my closet, I’ve been lured out with a big, bright new piece of tech candy. Behold, flip video, which officially makes it the fastest trip from wish list to home ever (I literally added that to my wish list a couple days ago). It literally took me about 5 minutes to pop this baby out of the box, record some random video of the husband sheepishly explaining why he purchased it for me (for Mother’s Day and because he loves me <insert aww here />). because he’s just that kind of guy. I’d post the video here, but that would really be pushing the dork envelope don’t you think? I’m looking forward to having free reign to record the boy anywhere and everywhere, starting tomorrow. For tonight, I’m going to enjoy a little alone time with a cup of tea and Betty Blue.

:: update :: Remember when I said my love was/is fickle? I was all excited about random videos until I discovered that I was not able to upload aforementioned videos. The flip is not being recognized by my machine, which is pretty frustrating. And yes, it supports Intel Macs, it’s plugged directly into the a port rather than through a peripheral and yes, those ports work because they’ve been tested with other devices (including other cameras). Grr. Apparently, this a somewhat consistent problem (if it wasn’t, would it already be a static support item on their website?). Sigh. I emailed support only to receive instructions for Windows XP. And if that isn’t a big ol’ smack in the face, I don’t know what is.
