25JulVimeo.

I started an account with Vimeo today. It’s a lot like YouTube, except much much better.

Here’s my first upload.


Why Ice Fishing Sucks. from Isaac Downing on Vimeo.

Anyway, this was post is basically just so I can test the Vimeo waters and make sure things embed correctly on this site.

Enjoy.

MacBook

That’s right, our family officially made the switch.

Last night I purchased our first household Apple computer. We decided to ease our way in with a MacBook, instead of going all out on a Pro or Air (all in due time, young grasshopper). Still, we’re pretty excited about it.

Not a lot to report since it hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m sure I’ll have more to say when it comes in the mail early next week.

Rachel & I got new phones for an early Christmas present: Blackberry Pearl 8100’s.

Blackberry Pearl 8100

I love this thing. I’m already addicted.

The sound quality is hands down the best I’ve ever heard for both in-call use and using the speakerphone. I’m also a Bluetooth geek (but only while I’m driving), and it’s worth noting that it works really well with this phone and is pretty simple to use (switch calls/place calls on hold/etc).

It was also pretty easy to setup Blackberry’s software on my work and home computers - so all of my calendar events, contacts and tasks were imported for me. And not to mention that it has the first phone-camera actually worth using.

Suffice to say: this is the best phone I’ve ever owned.

The only downside is the QWERTY keyboard - it works too well! The month before we got our new phones, our combined phone bill showed about 127 SMS messages. Last month’s bill? …almost 700.

Ouch.
