speedz99 145 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Our first child is due on the 21st, and I've been holding off until today to decide what to do about videotaping. iPhone 4 will be available on the 24th, with built in 720p video.Hey, congrats.

vbnautilus 48 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I was in the car for an interesting sports radio situation today. From what I remember (I wasn't paying close attention at first), they were talking about the refs calling a tight game in the finals, possibly to keep fights from occurring and guys from getting thrown out of the game. Then one of the hosts starts talking about how guys were still getting to fired up and could have been T'd up, because one Celtic kept screaming, "Hell yeah, n-word," at one of his teammates. First the signal cut out for about ten seconds...I thought that was a weird coincidence, but when it came back the host was still saying something about how the guy shouldn't be yelling the n-word, and then all of a sudden it cut straight to commercial mid-sentence. Apparently, white sports talk show hosts aren't even allowed to say "n-word" in the context of a player saying it. To clarify, the host was saying "n-word", not the actual word.That's a little extreme, don't you think?Guess the FCC is calling a tight game too. Link to post Share on other sites
Voldemort 0 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm definitely getting the iPhone 4. My current iPhone has been in a steady decline. Our first child is due on the 21st, and I've been holding off until today to decide what to do about videotaping. iPhone 4 will be available on the 24th, with built in 720p video. So I'm gonna do what any rational expectant father who needs biology to conform to apple's technology release schedule would do: duct tape my wife's vagina until the 25th.If I could rate posts on this board, I would use all of my allocated votes on the above.

Your white text ruined a mediocre joke that I was about to make.But after reading your post I couldn't help but think that would sounded more awkward.Guess the FCC is calling a tight game too.Heh.

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 You mean you're not sure about videotaping the actual birth?Because even though you're a scientist and presumably are used to working with icky stuff, it's still kind of gross, yes? Link to post Share on other sites

My question has been, should I get some cheap Flip device or wait until I have the iPhone since I am getting one of those anyway. But if I wait for the iPhone I may miss several days of possible footage. 1 This reminds me. I once went with a friend to this event put on by a well-known artist. It was something about the experience of time, that involved a whole room full of us staying awake the entire night in a room with this guy, while he involved us in various interactive art creations of his centered on this topic. So we go in there and he has us sitting down on the floor in front of a big screen. He turns on a video, and WOAH, there's his wife's vagina staring at us in the face, and oohh no, oh man, she's... baby's head... what the...jesus christ man, that was way too much.

There is such a thing as disposable camcorders.Edit: A.G. (after google): I'm totally getting an UltraHD Flip. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 8 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 1. Best moustache. Beards are allowed in this category but the contestants will be judged on their moustaches only;I bet this is a lot like when in court a witness says something and the judge orders the jury to ignore their statement.You can do your best ignoring it, but if the beard is awesome and compliments the mustache it's going to be hard to be impartial.I am guessing if you can pull of the beard/mustache combo it would be in your best interests. Judging-wise, at least. Link to post Share on other sites

vbnautilus 48 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Feel free to give a complete review along with links to the best deals for purchasing.From the reviews that I have been reading over the last few weeks, its fine, but the biggest complaint is poor motion-stabilization. They have updated their externals a few times but its been a while since there was a substantive upgrade of the video hardware. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 This stuff makes me really upset I paid $600 for my Mini DV camcorder 5 years ago.I rarely even use it now, and I have yet to transfer any of the mini dv disks to my computer yet.I wonder if I could sell it for enough to buy digital one?

JubilantLankyLad 1,957 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Technically speaking, and I think we would all agree that when it comes to facial hair we should be as precise as possible and not worry about common usage, a goatee doesn't include the moustache. "It refers only to growing a short to long patch of hair on the chin."when was the last time you saw a goat with a freaking moustache?Feel free to give a complete review along with links to the best deals for purchasing.someone beat me to the "it appears to be sufficiently waterproof" joke.

Bearded in Absentia 0 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hey Beansie. My little brother is currently in Bentonville, Arkansas, interning at the Wal-Wart corporate office. Any advice for him? Apparently Bentonville is dry, and he's a little unhappy about that. I might be going down to see him on the 4th of July, so any Arkansas-related advice you could offer would be: most excellent.Dammit, Joey, I was really hoping you'd update the scores just one more time, but I still think my +/- is absolutely killing it.

I might be going down to see him on the 4th of July, so any Arkansas-related advice you could offer would be: most excellent.Hello, sir... as always its good to hear from youI just staggered back from there a few minutes ago... as hes probably noticed, the entire complex is in a constant state of remodeling, so Im a pretty permanent fixture around there. Well, my crew is, anyway...First off, he needs to secure a bogus handicapped placard for his mirror unless multi-mile walks to and from the car are considered fun in his book. I can assist with that, of course. Fun fact... the snack bar inside generates more income/sales tax than any other restaurant out there Yeah, Benton county is dryer than Braveheart. He needs to make the fifteen minute drive up five forty to the Missouri state line to Macadoodles. Its on the left right next to a Chevy dealer about a half mile past the AR line. Much cheaper beer and hard stuff can be found at the North end of the store inside the "Hot beer wholesale to the public" division. They stock thirty packs of common brands and whiskey/vodka/wine by the case at amazing discounts. They open at ten am and he can shake my hand almost every Wednesday around that time.... or at least one of my associatesAs far as things to do in Arkansas... its a sportsmans paradise as far as fishing/hiking/boating/etcThe only other activity I can think of right now is drinking....Ill put some thought into it and put together a guide that might interest you when I return from Coronado Link to post Share on other sites
