I've been posting photos online at this blog since 2001. Many times, people have asked me, "Why don't you video blog?"
The other day I was on the phone in our bedroom and my spidey sense became aware of new electronics somewhere in the vicinity. I turned around and saw a shiny, unopened camera box sitting on the top shelf of my wife's bookshelf. I plucked it down and discovered it was a new Flip, the extremely portable video recorder. Uh? How did this get there? I asked her.
It turns out, she got it at work, but hate HATES being videotaped. She couldn't bring herself to get rid of it, but also couldn't just hand it to me. She placed it on the shelf and decided to let fate intervene. She denies all this, of course, because she is crafty. Her hatred for appearing on camera is not the reason I don't video blog.
I charged up the new Flip and then turned it on. It's definitely a cool device. I looked around the place and thought about what to film. The mlw is off limits. Spying on folks on the Promenade is a bit creepy. My first footage was of my foot. I will spare you that.
The next day, I made a cheese--queso fresco. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to use the camera, so I filmed the cheese making. The result is 8 minutes of pure, pure boredom, which I will add below. THIS is why I don't video blog. WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK OF FALLING ASLEEP. To get the benefit of my Flip, I need to find something worth filming. If I'm patient, I'm sure NYC will provide.
Plus, my voice does not sound like that.
