Elgin’s Ribfest on Memorial Day

Although I don’t eat ribs, I still checked out Ribfest on Monday. Check out my photos and videos! Also, click here to check out Ape of Wrath’s set of photos from the Fox Trot that went on earlier that morning.

Here are kids playing in the water at Festival Park:

Here’s a quick scan of the crowd:

Students, get help with StoryTube!

Remember when I wrote about Gail Borden’s video book review contest, and how I hoped they would provide cameras for those who don’t own one? Well, they are! Today!

Students in first through sixth grades are invited to visit Gail Borden Public Library from noon to 2 p.m. today to get help taping and uploading StoryTubes entries. The StoryTubes contest is about describing your favorite book on a YouTube video, with chances to win $500 in books. Participants should bring the book they want to talk about or locate it at the library, plus any props they want to use. A parent must be present to give permission. Taping will take place in the South Story Room off the Youth Services corridor of the library, 270 N. Grove Ave.

Guess who found out that her camera records video?

So I have a youtube channel. No big deal.

So far it’s just dog videos, but soon, soon I will introduce my face to the world.Wait…I’ve already plastered my face on flickr. Um, soon I will introduce my moving and talking face to the world. Yeah.

I had been feeling like I wanted a new camera and a new digital video camera, but I’ve decided to run this one to the ground. Yes, you will get to see my crappy quality photos and videos until the Nikon COOLPIX L3 is broken.
