OK, I gotta give it up to Microsoft. Honestly, who wants to watch videos on how to do things? They take a long time to buffer and interest can be easily lost. Well Microsoft now has 7 second video demo. The buffer time is short and the videos are fun.



I stayed up until 6 a.m. looking at the Jawbone 1,2, 3/Prime and the icon versions. The icon version was really cool because of all the features the apps could give you. I looked into them. The cool ones required a monthly subscription. Sure they are only $3 a month, but still, Google voice rocks them out. I kept thinking that I should go ahead and spend up to $38 ($12 below market value, about 25% off) on these headsets for a few people I know. But right now I don't have a secure source of income. The jawbone is cool because it really reduced background noise.




I also searched and found the Windows 7 "snap" feature for Mac OSX. It's called Cinch. It's free but will show a pop up asking you to buy it for $7 when the program starts up. I haven't gotten any pop ups during use yet.




Woah, an Arnold Schwarzenegger (Doug) movie has s part where you can buy a "memory of a lifetime". How valuable is a memory? What makes it special? How much is it worth?

Oh, and a week ago I was trying to think about something I could invent and I thought about an affordable, high quality 3d video camera. But one just came out.

I'm trying to find a good video camera I can use to make near production quality videos.

I found the Cannon Rebel T2i that takes 1080p video at 24 and 30 fps.

That sounds like what I'd like. The video I watched that was made by the camera is choppy as though the frame rate is slow and choppy at times when watching in 1080p. Maybe that's just because of the uploading process done in YouTube. The 420 isn't as choppy but the words in the book can't be made out.



The Canon 550D is supposed to be the same thing as the T2i.... not sure why the name is different. I do see the flaws, but is it good enough to spend $650 on in a year (when I can get one second hand for $150 off MSRP).

I also am wondering what lens to get for it. Apparently the lens is the most important thing in a camera.

What should I video?
