First movie with my new Flip Mino camera
Enjoy the footage of my tomatoes and the other plants growing on my back porch -- they're truly wonders of urban nature. Keep your fingers double-crossed that the pigeons don't get my tomatoes before I do.
BTW, I saw the system requirements for the Flip Mino after I ordered it. It says that OS 10.5 is required, but so far it's working without the upgrade. Thoughts on taking my G4 Powerbook to the next level? I can't decide if it's worth the trouble.
Those little video recorders are handy chroniclers of all things notable and prosaic.
For some reason I can't see your urban nature garden; the embedded video won't play... damn yee, technologee!
On a lark last year I, too, picked up a teeny tiny HDTV video recorder to play with. It can store over 4 hours of high def video on an 8GB SD card, which try as I might, refuses to fill on any one outing.
Here's some video of last weekend's fireworks display from the hinterlands:

I hope you have better luck with the video. The decoding requires a fast computer; my dual proc MacBook Pro sometimes has trouble smoothly playing it back with quicktime... which isn't quick enough to show it in time. OS 10.5 doesn't help.
