I decided that my first “project” to use my Flip UltraHD camera on would be a time-lapse video of my morning drive. I shot the video the morning of October 13, 2009. This morning was a bit atypical since it was raining, which has been rare this year in San Antonio. The rain led to a somewhat longer commute then usual (60 min. vs. the usual 40 min.)
I took the footage from the Flip and imported it into iMovie on my MacBook Pro. From there, I sped up the video by 800%. The resulting video was 9 minutes long as opposed to the original 60 minutes. I think that if I do this again, I may speed it up 1600% instead. Anyway….you can find it below.

So, last week I rented a Fetal Doppler Heartbeat Monitor so that Laura and I could hear the heartbeats coming from the twins. It was delivered yesterday, and we gave it a try. Here are two MP3s that I made of the heartbeats. In the second one, you can hear Andi saying that she thinks it sounds like a dog. I think she was referring to the sound of a dog panting. :-)

As a reward for some work that I did with my job, I was given a brand new 24″ Dell 2408WFP UltraSharp monitor. It is now running as my main display off of my MacBook Pro. I also have a 19″ Dell E196FP monitor connected to the MacBook Pro over USB via an IOGear GUC2015V External Video Card. That’s right, count them…THREE displays running off of one MacBook Pro! Jealous?

I haven’t updated my Blog in a while. Bad blogger! My reasoning is just lack of time. I’ve now done something to remove that excuse.
I’ve installed a module that allows me to post updates via email. This means that if I’m stuck at a doctor’s office or anywhere else, I can type up an update on my new BlackBerry Pearl and submit it via email. Hopefully it helps!
