we purchased a new video camera in preparation for the little guy’s arrival.  we purchased a canon hd m30 with image stabilization (our favorite feature).  we ran it through the paces today and practiced our uploading skills to the internets.  we tried uploading to both youtube and vimeo.  flickr was immediately out of the race due to their 90 second restriction.  both services offered comparable upload speeds.  i personally like the vimeo interface better, but i am liking youtube’s cleaned up interface as of recent.  the software that came with the camera also had a snazy quick “web” upload feature that allowed for quick upload to your youtube account with one click.  so i think youtube might be the winner on our video sharing platform of choice.  let me know what you think of the 2 different videos below (excuse the poop!)…

cohen with his head stuck under the coffee table…hilarious

say hello to my 2 biggest fans.  these guys are constantly supporting me during those long nights of coding.  they are typically contorted in various shapes and configurations right behind my chair…

when they want attention they come and knock my hand off the mouse…sometimes quite adamantly.  we were watching tv in the living room tonight and cohen (the black/brown one) was resting his head on wrigley (the black/white one) and it was too hilarious to pass up…we had to take a picture.  enjoy!
