Hákarl -or- The other white boy meat me at the airport
I’ve only been to Iceland once, and I’m not sure it counts: In the 6 hours I spent there, I never left the airport. However, I did spend enough time inside the small, but free-flowing structure to enjoy the uninterrupted views of the intimate and unique township surrounding the International airport at Reykjavik through some … [Read more…]

Flip Video Model F260G + a simple day around Lewisburg WV
I found one of my old video cameras in my car. A flip Video Model F260G. This little camera was made right before the iPhone came out and seemed to be revolutionary in its ease of use (at least to me anyway). I used the hell out of this camera for several months and really … [Read more…]
Review of our new camcorder the Sony HDR-CX240
We love our Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera but we needed another camera for selfie filming and run and gun. The Black Magic is a superior camera but using it for quick shots and selfies is like swatting a fly with hand grenade. We needed something small, with descent quality, autofocus, and image stabilization. The … [Read more…]
