On Saturday we went to the Gadget Show at the NEC in Birmingham. We were hoping to see loads of futuristic new gadgets and things we hadn’t seen before but in reality it was just a load of stands selling stuff. There was a cool display of metal scultpures which were pretty cool:
And also a very skinny TV which I was initally impressed with seeing until I realised it was in the window of every Sony Style shop on the high street.
The only gadget I was interested in seeing was the Flip which was something I liked the look of but had never seen close up. I loved it! Rich bought me one (show offers are a bit irresistable like that!) for my birthday (in July!).
I have been irritating him ever since by making banal videos. Here is one of our garden, for example (if you click through, you can watch in HD as I got the HD model).
Or our trip to Hatton Locks, near our home in Warwickshire:
I have to practice using it as I do not have a steady hand apparently. Overall, though, I am thrilled with the quality of the picture and how easy it is to upload to Youtube etc. I would much prefer to use Vimeo as the interface is nicer and more suitable for personal blogging type videos (YouTube is more cluttered and is full of TV/movie clips or viral type videos). The only problem is that to upload multiple HD videos per week you have to subscribe and its $60 per year. I might leave that until I have ton of decent videos to share (and not just the drivel above).
The footage has a real clarity to it. (and you have nice shoes on)
I know – the picture is good (although the hand shakiness needs some attention!). The shoes are my extremely comfy Clarks.
So I’m confused, you appear to have a fence (the tall one), to the left of your utility door rather than the right. What’s the other side of that?
Hee – this is our next door neighbours HUGE garden (even though she only has a 1 bed ‘mews’ property above the garages to our right). You must pop over for a cuppa and then you can have a proper look! And then I want to nose at your place!!!
