Aiptek on the weekend
Sunday, June 22, 2008 
My master plan has succeeded... purchasing a cheap HD video recorder with a small form factor actually equates to much more footage shot. And perhaps a few extra digital snaps as well.
The family and I braved the humidity to pay a visit to nearby Drumlin Farms. My son loves the cows and pigs and owls they have there. Without even thinking about it, I placed the Aiptek in my pocket and when cute time rolled into view, I was able to quickly start shooting 1080p footage for posterity. No tape needed. SDHC is all you need to join the party. With 8GB I have around two hours shooting time. Maybe. I'll grab a 32GB sometime here soon™.
It's nice to catch a break from coding on the weekends, especially when you can hear the rumbling of the code collection truck amassing momentum for Monday morning. And with really portable video shooting capability, I'm able to save these moments away for later in life.
