i've been blogging for a few years now, and while it has been very rewarding and valuable to me, it like all things has to grow and evolve to remain engaging.  blogging has entered the video era with the availability of cheap computer memory, enormous hard drive capacities and the advent of youtube and other free video-hosting services.  it's high time that i add the fourth dimension of time to my cataloguing of my personal experiences onto the interwebs.  as if it were fated, i had to buy a new camera this month, and i opted to buy the canon sd750, partly due to a recommendation from a friend of mine, but mostly because of a feature that this model offers of recording time-lapse video in its video capture setting.  there's nothing better, in my mind, for the modern ADD mindset, than timelapse!  it compresses real-world experience that would take literally hours into brief seconds or minutes and makes experience fun and interesting, even in the most mundane situations.

for example, each week (more or less :) i clean my little apartment of the cat-hair sheddings that my two feline masters see fit to deploy upon my floors and furnishings.  this task is just about as boring as any upkeep task could possibly be - but when you speed it up to 15x, it takes on a vitality and joy that is surreal and off-the-hook funny!  don't mind the tosser in the wifebeater in this vid, my first ever youtube video posting.  the real gold is watching my funny cat-masters supervising his performance!!
