After my daughter asking for one for the last year and a half, we finally got her a dog at Wheaton’s Petland. He’s a shelter rescue pet mixed breed Chihuahua / lab mix, about 9 months old, and weighs 18 pounds. He was already named Chancho, but we made a slight adjustment to Chacho.
He’s a real sweet dog with a great temperament and is the perfect size; not too big and not too small. It feels like having another baby in the house.

My JVC DV camera has officially been retired to The Shures archives. Instead of buying a new replacement battery, I picked up the brand new PlaySport from Kodak. Best Buy had them in stock locally for $149.95.
While my JVC with its 3 CCD and advanced optics is a nice camera, this new PlaySport’s video blows it away. So far, the 720P at 60fps looks stunning. I also like the small size (about the same as my old Treo) and ease of use. No more FireWire capturing required.
Now I can make some new videos.
