A VIDEO CARNIVAL? Reader Daren Heidgerken emails:

You have done a number of digital camera "carnivals", how about one on video cameras? I have a new baby and would like to get a simple, decent quality one to send movies to the grandparents.

Any thoughts on that? I'm not really up on the latest there, but I don't have to be, if my readers are! As I noted in this post, James Lileks has, and likes, the new Sony compact HD video camera -- and if I were taking baby videos I'd definitely want to do it in HD, since regular video will be looking old and crappy within a couple of years as HD becomes the norm. (I think there's a somewhat newer model than the one Lileks has, too.)

DIGITAL CAMERA CARNIVAL UPDATE: Okay, I keep getting camera questions, which suggests to me that somehow people have missed the Digital Camera Carnival. You can find it here: Part One, Part Two, and Part Three.

And in response to a question about underwater cameras suitable for scuba diving, which I only sort of answered, here are a couple of reviews from Divester, the scuba blog.

Not much interest so far in the video carnival, so if I don't get any more entries I'll just post what I've gotten soon.

Call it a Twilight of the Gods moment

...but until further notice, I am suspending updates specific to this post.

 

I will continue to update this:

with "everything you need to be aware of."

But I'm just burned, and bummed out. The elections. The sellout of Israel. The Moonbats. The Stupid Party. The Evil Party.

I could go on... but why bother?
