We finally made our way to the infamous Hamilton Pool.  I had the opportunity to use the flip and to keep it simple, I only used the tools provided from the camera.  Here is the final product:

Not bad though the music provided was cheesy.  That will have to be fixed on later videos.  Also I need to figure out a way to keep the quality up to 640×480.  Other than that, carrying the little bugger sure beats the beefy digicam.

Tropical storm Dolly is the first Gulf of Mexico storm that is about to hit south Texas. If you are going to report something like this, definitely do it with some flair, like the YouTube video shown above. Seriously though, I have some family down in that area and I do hope they are safe. Though we need the moisture, I rather have it in a form that encourages afternoon naps. Take care abuelita.

This blog is mostly dedicated to emerging tech, until my kiddos do something silly. Yes I am a technologist but will always be a dad first:
