Point and Shoot Video


Just got a trail version of the Pure Digital Point and Shoot Camcorder. It is definately Point and Shoot. Within a minute of opening the package I had the camcorder recording and a minute later copied the file to my computer. It’s MSRP is under $130 and it will record 30 minutes of AVI video.
You can plug it into your TV or VCR and/or take the camera to CVS or Walgreens to transfer the video to DVD.
The camera also uses USB connections to connect to your computer. The only downside to that is that the USB connection pops out from the side of the camera – which is cool, but my laptop USB plugs are oriented in a way that makes it impossible to plug into my laptop without a USB extension.
Anyways, not a bad way to get short video clips and do it very easily.
I’ll post more later as I get to play with it more.

Going to Nigeria

Well, I’m going to Nigeria.
It’s settled (again).
Rob and I will go with a group from Lakepoint Sept. 26 – Oct. 11 to scout out information for the CWF trip in March.
In case you missed the previous post, due to logistics, it was decided that the team trip would be pushed back to March 2007. Rob and Tim were planning to take the trip in Oct. to scout out some of the logistical information, but complications arose with Tim’s job and I was asked to go in his place.
I’m pumped. Of course this means I’ll need to raise funds for both trips now, but I have no doubt that God will provide.
I’ve raised between $600 – $700 now and will be re-sending and sending out new letters soon to update everyone.
I need to raise $1,300 by June 26, $1,800 by July 26 and $2,200 by August 26. And I’ll need the remaining $500 or so before we leave Sept. 26.
So any financial support and prayers will be greatly appreciated.
If you’d like to make a donation, please contact me by e-mail or you can donate online with a check or debit card. Just click on the button on the right hand corner.
Thanks again for all your support.
I look forward to keeping you all posted on what God does on this trip.

I don’t remember what I did this for, but it was for some publicity thing. Just found it and thought it was funny and wanted to share.
The shirt and body is from John Belushi (of course), the head is of Rolly Martinez my college roommate and the building behind him is the chapel on our campus at UMHB.
