Blackberry Bloggage
A few years ago, I got all excited when wordpress allowed its users to phone in blogs. I think I used it a handful of times. Here again is another potential resource I may or may not use: WordPress for BlackBerry. So far, its been a success, though it takes a while for it to recognize the current location of where I’m writing from (Second Cup in Thornhill). Again, we will see whether or not this will be a one-time shot or a regular occurrence.
Had my first class of the semester this morning. Pretty packed. 1 & 2 Peter. Trying to keep on task. Was a bit of a struggle in the fall. Also taking Youth at Risk and the Evangelical Right. Should be a good class. Anyway, my thumbs tire. Time to be a keener student. Bye from my Torch!
The Reluctant Photographer/The Intrusive Videographer
I just recently purchased a new digital camera. My former digital camera (which served me well for five good years), reached its end. So I bought a similar camera, just a newer model. So far, I haven’t been putting it to much use. It gets used for the important events (i.e. birthdays, parties, etc.), but not as randomly as before. When I got my first digital five years ago, I was snapping like mad.
I also don’t like to be the one to say: okay guys, time to pose. I’d much rather be in a papparazzi mob of Sonys and Canons, all vying for the subject to be looking directly at MY lens rather than the others. I often bring my digital with the intent of taking pictures, but never return with many shots.
Videocameras: completely different story.
So my church has decided to purchase a videocamera to use for Sunday mornings, as well as for other events taking place within the variety of ministries in motion. I was asked to do a price comparison chart of six videocameras that would serve the churches purposes. So I did one. It was very thorough. Anyways, they took my recommendation, and rented a videocamera for the weekend to play with. I got to play with it.
It was like Christmas in August for me. I decided to take my business downtown and I shot everything without hesitation. The camera itself is pretty small. Fits in my hand pretty well (yes, I do have big hands, but the camera is smaller than your average pro-cam). Shots are so pure. Made my way to Kensington. Watched a friend of mine and his band play. So I watched it, through the camera.
Creativity comes in so many different shapes and sizes. Hope you’re familiar with your creative outlet.
Oops.
I had no intention of changing my blogsite. I liked the way it was. I was trying to add HTML for a site I’ve been enjoying as of late. Its called formspring. You pretty much ask me a random question anonymously, then I answer it. I reverted to my old template, then was unable to return to the ‘new’ one.
The Winds Of Change Are Plentiful These Days . . . .
Last week, I made a big purchase. I mean BIG. I second guess myself when I make a $60 purchase (with the exception of anything dealing with car maintenance. What can I say, I love my Cavalier).
