I got a new camera. It’s the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG102, and it shoots Full HD video and still photographs. I’m only just learning my way around the device, but here’s a quick video of some clips that I took with it.

Our Reference Librarians love to celebrate birthdays. Today was Jessica’s turn to get serenaded by the department, and Jason brought a lovely cupcake cake to celebrate the occasion.
I was honored to present at the ALA MAR/RUSA program on Tech Tools for Tough Times. For my part of the talk, I discussed using web video to reach out to patrons, while also putting our knowledge on the web. Here are my slides.
Rode Rockhouse at lunch. Rode to the Basswood Connector and back, so I didn’t get into the muddier sections of the Rockhouse Trail. Parts that I rode were mostly dry, although a bit overgrown in parts.
I’ve been using Camstudio a long time to record all my desktop videos and screencasts. I only just discovered today that it will do picture-in-picture recording with a web cam.

I haven’t been on bike ride outside since November. With the forecast calleing for 55 degrees today, I decided to ride my bike to work. Roads were a bit damp despite being dry yesterday. Since I had to work the reference desk at the library, I carried my clothes with me. This video describes some of the ride and the kit I carried.
