Obama is getting a Sectera Edge, a tricked out smart phone that costs about $3k. It’s like a blackberry, but there’s a special key on it that makes everything top secret.

Here’s the video about the phone!

Now some of you may ask why I bought these for an iPhone, well from what I heard they were good headphones, and they fit very well with my recessed head phone jack on my iPhone 2G. The first time I saw them they caught my eye and since my dog chewed up my only 2 pairs I had, I figured I would try that. So I had two Circuit City gift cards from previous game purchases, so I got them for about $4 after my discount. Pretty sweet I would have to say! Well check out the video below!

With Kodak and RCA putting out so-called HD versions of their YouTube-friendly mini camcorders, we knew it was only a matter of time before Pure Digital Technologies, the maker of Flip Video mini camcorders, put out an HD model of its own.

Calling it the “world’s smallest HD camcorder,” the $229 Flip Mino HD looks identical to the standard-definition Flip Mino. It weighs just over 3 ounces, boasts 720p resolution, and has 4GB of memory that allows for 60 minutes of recording time. The release also says that the Flip Mino HD features “all-new built-in FlipShare software for easy saving, organizing and sharing of video from your computer.” We’re not sure how it’s different from the software on the existing Mino, but when we get more details, we’ll let you know.

Like the standard Mino, you’ll be able to customize the look of the Mino HD at theflip.com/store. I did an earlier post on the whole customization thing, and the one drawback is that while the service is free, you do pay the full $229 list price for the product. Most likely, the Mino HD will retail for less on Amazon and other online stores–I’d guess $199.

We’ll be getting a review unit in the next few days and have a review up soon. Naturally, we’re curious to see just how good the video quality is. In reviewing Kodak’s Zi6, we had this to say: “The Kodak Zi6 is technically an HD camcorder the way a tomato is technically a fruit: it meets the definition, but doesn’t deliver the experience. True, the Zi6 records video in 1,280×720-pixel resolution at both 30 frames per second and 60fps–720p resolution–which technically qualifies it as an HD camcorder, but a lot of factors go into creating an image, not just a CMOS sensor capable of capturing an image at a certain resolution and frame rate.” We expect to have a similar experience with the Mino HD, but Pure Digital Technologies has managed to keep the video quality of its mini camcorders slightly ahead of the pack, so maybe the same will prove true here.

This is a modded segway. It’s pretty cool. Kind of like a monster truck, but a monster segway.

So this should be here either tomorrow or Monday. I will then shoot a video to show you the quality of the device. It’s just so cool!

In other news; the upstairs is almost done. I finished the trim up, painting and stuff, and painted the doors. April and her dad are going to pick up the doors tomorrow. Her dad is also going to start sanding the floors and possibly will have a coat of stain on. He said he should finish them this weekend. Then all we will have to do is put the carpet up and the banister. Then we can start moving the desk and computers up there. Once that is done, we will be able to get our new furniture and LCD T.V. Can’t wait for that. Should be within the next 2 weeks and we will be completely done with it. So that means no more videos ;)

So that was a long one. I have a whole lot more to say, but that will have to wait till I get the camera. I’m not used to all this typing anymore…

Update: Also the streaming cam will be up and running again when all of this remodeling stuff is over! I’ve been doing some testing and stuff and have it on my blog, but it won’t be live till about 2 weeks or so!

Available at Amazon.com as well

So anyways, I bought a new camcorder. A Sony DSC-SR62 Hard Drive camera on eBay. It’s brand new and get a really great deal on it. Couldn’t pass it up… well I guess I could have, but… well… I had to have it! It’ll be nice to take with me on our vacation (which is coming up here in less than 2 weeks). Hopefully I get some good videos and can put them up on here. I hope to be doing a lot more video taping for the blog. That’ll be really cool. It’s so small and compact, that I can take it anywhere. Check the Sony SR62 HDD cam here.

Well I’m not to sure if I mentioned this before or not, but in about 10 days or so, we are going to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. I’m excited. Can’t wait to take a break from work. It’ll be nice and relaxing, well probably not relaxing, but you know.

We started remodeling the upstairs. I’ll go take some picture soon, and post them up here. I have a few more things to put up too. Some from April’s Birthday and the Cardinal game we went to.

Bought Grand Theft Auto iV. It’s awesome. Played that the rest of the day. It’s a really great game.

Well a lot has been going on as you can tell. I’ll try to get as much as I can posted on the website. I’ll even try to blog on our vacation if I get a chance to do that. I’m sure I’ll blog before that. Oh yeah, and my birthday is tomorrow! Yay, I’ll be 27! :(

EDIT: So, I almost got killed when I forgot to mention my wife’s gift to me. I got a very nice watch with my initials engraved on the band. Underneath it says “I will love you till the end of time.” How clever. I guess it’s kind of dumb that I just figured it out at dinner last night… Thank you beautiful!
