Home Again

I'm back from France and a wonderful visit with Abby. She's studying there until May, so it was a real treat to spend some time with her. She's acclimated wonderfully, and her French is excellent. Henry and I came home yesterday. We left Jennifer behind because she lost her passport on Friday and couldn't get a new one until today. She'll fly back tomorrow, but I have a feeling she's probably glad of some extra time in Paris with Abby. I know I would be. I took well over 1000 pictures with the 5D Mark II. I'll be sorting and posting over the next few days. I didn't spend as much time taking pictures as I thought, though. I was having too much fun visiting Abby and la belle pays, France. Meanwhile here's something to tide you over. A little video Myra Joyce made for us... Happy Holidays!

It's only been a year, but here's an Animoto.com video of my pictures from Egypt... Download the QuickTime version of the slideshow here. France is next!

Qik and Quicker

Qik just sent me a beta release of their new iPhone app. You can use it to stream live video from the iPhone. It's viewable at Qik.com and is stored there as well. This does not require jailbreaking - this is an official app that will be available in the iTunes App store soon. Considering there's no video recording on the iPhone, this is pretty amazing. Here's my first attempt. One thing I've learned: hold the phone still! I'm looking forward to using this to stream video when I'm out and about. You can follow twitlive on Twitter for notices when I stream live from the phone.
