Monday, Monday!

Okay, I'm not a Monday hater. How can I be? For me it's a chance for a new start to a new week, and heck, I don't work a 9-5 M-F so that makes a difference. And yes, I'm an optimist. Oh well. I tried to be a pessimist, how depressing!!! I tried to be a realist, but I like my rose colored glasses too much, so there!! :)

Today I realize I read way too many blogs, so I'm deleting some that aren't fun, or interesting or informative. Or in some cases, there's this one...that has just way too much information. I could read it all day and still not be caught up. So that one's going too. Simplify!! Yeah!! That's it!

And I realize too that I'm just not that big a fan of video on blogs. I wasn't sure why, but now I know. They take too long. I'm a super fast reader (thanks to a speed reading class in 3rd grade, not kidding!) I can read a novel in a day and I just don't have the time to sit watch the video. So I don't feel bad about it anymore. But I know that they can be really good, I'm going to try to watch a few more, if they are interesting and I just might be posting more too since I got one of those little pocket size digital video recorders. We'll see. Confused yet?

Okay,so I was watching this one and found it funny because just today I read that some group wants to ban all cell phones in cars, even hands-free. Hmmmmm... so here's the video from [b]ecker. And here's some other things they should ban, as they are just as distracting, right?

***And before anyone goes all postal on me, it's from a blog post of someone being sarcastic, ok?***

No cell phones
No CB's (if the still exist)
No pets in the car
No kids in the car. Multiple charges for multiple kids.
No passengers in the car
No radios, CD players, etc, in the car.(Knew of a girl who hit the guardrails while changing stations!) OMG, arrest her!!
No Makeup.
No shaving.
No reading a Map.(do they still make them?) Okay...so No GPS.
No naughtiness.(Yep, saw it myself from the bus window!)
No... jeez, what did I miss?
No heat controls.
No AC Controls.
Come on now, people, let's focus!
No.... How about no more stupid laws and just have a law against Stupid People. Now that one I like!!
Enjoy your day, and don't leave the house!:)

Smile everyone, it's Monday!

Hitler rants about the Nikon D3X

Ok, ok we're camera geeks here at TSD but hey I know how many questions we get about cameras and photography and I KNOW how many of our clients are camera geeks too so I know some of you out there in blog-land will enjoy this one ;)

Apparently the Fuehrer is upset with what Nikon is trying to soak us charge for the new flagship D3X top of the line camera. Poor guy. He can throw quite the hissy. Who knew!

I Wonder?

Unbelievable. I want to believe it but several things about it make me think it's fake. Actually, I kinda hope it's fake. It is fake, right??

Water Slide

Evolution of Dance

This one's been around for a while but it's worth a repeat. Judson Laipply's "Evolution of Dance" video. I want to see someone do this at a wedding for us! ;)

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

Star Wars According to a 3 Year Old

This is just too cute, a 3 year old girl telling her Dad what the Star wars movie is about. According to Dad:

"She explained the whole movie to me in much greater detail but unfortunately I didn't have the camera going. When I finally caught her talking about the movie again she delivered this truncated, but still funny, version...Believe it or not, she has seen the movie only once, and I spread it out over three days so it wouldn't be too much all at once for her."

 

I know my kids were young the first time they saw the movie but probably not this young. And I know it didn't make quite this much of an impression on them ;)

Camera Stabilizer, No Tripod Needed

Just a quick post, something very cool that I found and thought some of you might be interested in. In some situations, there is just no substitute for a good tripod *HOWEVER* this is a pretty cool alternative!

Enjoy!
