It’s been a while since I have posted on my blog.  I figure it is about time again.  There are plenty of things I could have talked about recently, like my trip to Orlando for Microsoft TechEd 2008, or my vacation to the Outer Banks, Hilton Head, or New Jersey.  I could even talk about my recent biking experiences.  However, I plan to talk about my new high definition video camera.

I decided to drive down to circuit city the other day just to look at some of the products that they had left.  I say products that they had left because the store is in the process of moving to a new building.  In preparation, they moved everything they had in stock except for the display models.  Instead of moving them, they decided to sell them as open box items.  I got to circuit city on the last day that this sale was going on and there was hardly anything left on the shelves.  As a matter of fact, over half the store was tape off so as not to allow access by customers to those areas.  While I was looking around, I came across a few hd video cameras.  It had been crossing my mind for a while about getting one, but they were always so expensive.  I made an impulse decission to get one and walked out of the store with my own sony hd video camera that records to mini dvds.  I am now wishing that I would have spend a few extra bucks to get the one with the hard drive build in because recording in high definition on a mini dvd is not a good idea in my opinion.  At the best hd quality, a disc will store 15 minutes of video on a single side.  At the lowest quality it will give about 25-30 minutes of storage.  Other than that, the camera is amazing.  It even has a feature called X. V. Color which does wonders for color.  If you have even played with a tv that has different color schemes and one happened to be called vivid, that is basically what this does for the picture.  It enhances the colors of the video before it captures it to the media.

Anyway, the first night I had it, Amanda started to film me cut a pizza.  It was rather unexpected, but what came from the recording was pretty funny.  When she started to record, I started to speak.  This is what came out.  Enjoy.
