Cleaning Windows

Yes, I needed to wash the windows. No, I wasn’t looking forward to it.
That’s when the desire to post another video initiates the cleaning.
Using my Gorilla pod tripod, I suspended the camcorder from a small nail embedded on the front of the house. I used my Xacti HD2 with the Raynox 0.3x wide angle lens.

Mike-Gyver Wide Angle Lens on Xacti HD2

I have on order the proper wide angle lens for the thread less Xacti HD2.
Until it comes it, or for special projects, I attached my Raynox .3x semi fisheye lens.

Supersize Your Meal?

Just goofin’ around. Now that I have the supersmall Xacti, video is easier when I’m on the road.

Puck Drops on Leaf Season

Well, it’s that time of year. The Toronto maple Leafs start their 2008-2009 season. With no main hockey stars, how will the team do?

Run For a Cure - Oshawa

Here are my video clips from the Oshawa, Ontario Run for a Cure I was involved in. October 5, 2008. What a fantastic day. It was cloudy and cool until they introduced Maxie, breast cancer survivor, and then the clouds parted and the sun shined right through and until the closing ceremonies. 

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada's largest single day, volunteer-led fundraising event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research, education, and awareness programs.

Each year, thousands of Canadians of all ages and walks of life unite to participate in the Run. The reasons for participating vary, but we all have the same goal in mind: to create a future without breast cancer.

Puppy Love at 4:00am?


This is the first night that I didn’t get up to take the puppy outside for a pee. She yelped, cried and barked for a full hour… from 1:00-2:00am and then again from 4:00-5:00am.
Donna and Lindsay, who rarely get up for those pee/play times will certainly feel the effects today. :)
Now they can feel like I’ve ben feeling for the last week. :) Muhahaha

Xacti HD2

Well, I sold the Canon HV20 and somewhat downgraded to a Sanyo Xacti HD2.
I found I was shooting video less on the Canon due to it's size and miniDV format. With the HD2, I shove it in my pocket and take it everywhere. 

I love the Xacti, but I need some parts and accessories:
USB Cable: Connect dock to PC
Wide Angle Lens: VCP-L06W
Lens Adapter: VCP-AL49
Underwater Housing: EHS-510H
