MiniDV cameras were digital! I had a couple of them. My old PC had a Firewire port so I could copy stuff directly, but I don't have that on the current one. I have a load of footage of the kids that I ought to edit some day.
I've seen a few videos by Walk off the Earth and they are are amazing. It must take so much work to put them together, but it is quite a visual thing so they are made for Youtube.
I've performed Livin' On a Prayer on ukulele :)
Why were people negative about the Olympic ceremony? I thought it was fun and very French. These things are always ridiculous and have nothing to do with anything else really. I needed the commentary (on the BBC) to know what was supposed to be going on.
I know some people were really annoyed at how "inclusive" it was which really doesn't bug me. Some people in the US were annoyed that they picked Kelly Clarkson and Peyton Manning to be commentators. Finally, I think the big rub is the Backus dinner piece that I didn't see which people are calling satanic because they felt it was mocking The Last Supper. I don't really know, people will complain about anything and everything these days. Yeah, my camera has a firewire connection too. It seems most everything is onboard or cloud based these days though.
Is 'too inclusive' a bad thing? We didn't have those commentators. I wondered if it was about the dinner thing, but some people won't even realise that the Olympics date back to ancient Greece. I think the French are much more open to different forms of expression. Some people are always looking for things that offend them so they can make a fuss. I heard some performers had death threats, which does not seem very Christian to me.
