New Camera
Part of the reason posting has been so light lately is our longtime camera the (ancient in internet years) Canon s400 has been acting (extremely) weird lately -- and last week became completely unusable. We had a good run with it, and we have no complaints.
So this meant we need to get a new one. We ended up buying a Nikon D90. This also solves two problems -- a nice shiny large megapixel camera, and one that shoots 720p HD video.
Here's a couple of test videos to demonstrate.

bottom line: I love it.
