Dinosaur Equipment

In the spirit of the continuous snow fall, I decided to tape Shea drudging through the snow. It is quite entertaining. The way he plow through it makes me think he should be pulling a fully stocked sled behind him. I have been kicking a football to Shea, because it is much easier for him to find in the snow. I felt it necessary to document this on video, not only to view in future years, but so that Jeff can share in the joy of Shea's snow playing.

The video quality is horrible, because the video camera I used is a dinosaur. None of the equipment made for today's electronics fit into this dino video camera. The ports are kinds I have never seen before. And, it actually uses these little guys right here:

Not exactly sure what sort of equipment one would need to play a tape like that. The word "tape" should be a clue right there that this whole project is extremely outdated! So, in order to the get the video onto the computer, and essentially to Jeff, I recorded the video straight off the video camera with my computer. Hence, very low quality. But, you can still see Shea, when he is not blending in with the white snow. And, I am going to guess that for Jeff, it is better than nothing. Here goes, and remember, I know it is of low quality. There is no need to let me know further!


Even worse than you expected, huh? Oh well, I did all I could. I will be sure to bring home my digital, yes digital, as in made in this century, camera during the week. Shea is much more handsome when you can actually see his face!
