For the Photogs

This isn’t something I normally put here unless I know that many of you would use and/or enjoy it. This is something that definitely falls into that category.

Testing another app

A new Toy

With my son being on the swim team this year, and getting so many complaints last time I posted video, I figured the time was right to pick up a new video camera.

Be sure to click through to view it in HD.

The camera is a Canon Vixia HF 100. Full HD video, 3.1 MP digital stills. More examples of video and the photos can be seen on my blog.

This should be fun at AMVIV this year!

Hi everyone. I’ve had a few worried emails from people concerned about Station Casinos bankruptcy talks. I just got off the phone with Connie at Palace and she assures me that this is no problem for us.

Our pickup is lower than in past years, so they are willing to work with us to get you the best rate we can. I know that people are concerned about finances and such, but this is a cheap Vegas weekend, especially if you can mostly stay away from the machines and tables.
