Doing Our Part for The Economy

Today, we went out shopping to get rid of those Christmas gift certificates before they could burn holes in our pockets and we'd have to buy new pants as well. Inevitably, that means Best Buy because everyone knows Tony's appreciation for the electronic things in life. Plus, I am thinking of finally breaking down and getting a camera of my own. After all, there are at least two trips in 2009, and after looking at the picture from the Heepy on the entry below, I've decided it's time to grow up and get a real one. But I've been pretty sick this week, so while Tony showed me basics on many different ones, I registered "silver one, silver one, pink one, silver one, blue one." I like the light pink one. It's evidently the little sibling of the one Tony has. But I'm holding onto my gift card until I think better, just to make sure.
However, our quest put us into the camera section, where Tony wound up with the neatest cam-corder I've ever seen. It's the size of the Heepy, small and pocketable and made by Kodak because that's the one that had less bling and more actual professional quality. Plus, because of gift cards, it was less than twenty bucks for him. (Thanks John and Tony-dad!) Holy cow, I knew you could take short videos on phones these days but I had no idea that actual recorders had gotten so small. I'm either way behind on hardware technology or my cold medicine is too strong. Both are possible. Anyway, I figure there might be some video showing up on Tony's blog in the future. And maybe even a decent picture on mine before too long.
