Stuff-Mart



Now I know that this blog is supposed to be about the family, but I am going to indulge just this once and talk about some things (that moth and rust destroy, I know).

The first item is my 67 Camaro RS convertible that I've had for the last 6+ years. After 40 years, it is still, IMHO, one of the coolest cars ever made. However, it burns through fossil fuel like a semi, so I chose to sell it. The good news was that I got more than I paid, the bad was that Hannah got a little upset at me, when she found out.

Other stuff related, uh.. stuff. I recently bit the bullet and bought a digital SLR camera because my current digital camera was so slow that I kept missing all the "priceless" shots while it was busy "thinking". I opted for a Nikon D50 which is about as low-end as you can get and still get a good dSLR. So far, it has been an incredible camera. William really took an interest in it as you can see at right -->

The cool thing about it is that you can take 2.5 pictures per second. The following link is a movie I created with the camera taking photos full-blast. The film is 7 seconds, but it really took place in only about 2 seconds. You can see William's expression change as he hears the whirring of the shutter clicking rapidly.
