Bad product naming aside, I was blown away by the video footage shot by Canon’s upcoming SLR in the short, “Reverie“. The video immediately takes on a film movie look, with depth-of-field shots and gorgeous color and detail in low-light settings. More after the jump.
As a new parent, I’m getting re-acquainted with an old childhood friend: Sesame Street. It’s the only TV show that O watches, in part because it’s the only show that holds his interest for more than five minutes. The web means Sesame Street is just around the corner, even at 3 AM. Nostalgia aside, I’ve been blown away by Sesame Street’s ability to present a simple children’s lesson in a sophisticated, pop-culture-aware manner that an adult can appreciate.
We slept in until 11:30 this morning, which is nothing short of a miracle. Owen woke up at 8:30, which would have been a very good morning in and of itself.
Shortly after breakfast, he climbed up on his crib (still not big enough to make it up and over) and demanded to be lifted in. Sometimes he does this when he wants toys out of the crib. Sure enough, he snagged some stuffed animals and began wildly gesturing in the general direction of the other half of the room.
“Up!”
Up he went, out of the crib and onto the floor. He toddled over to his stuffed monkey, his favorite sleeping buddy, added monkey to a growing collection that spilled out from under both arms, and toddled back to the crib.
“Up!”
Back into the crib. He immediately laid down and showed no interest in getting back up. Who were we to argue? Out went the lights and mom and dad beat a hasty retreat to the warm comfort of their own bed. Everyone slept from 9 until 11:30, and the world was beautiful.
O had his first haircut this week. He transformed from a cherubic baby with cute blond curls into a mischevious little boy on the lookout for trouble. I was surprised by what a big difference a little haircut could make in our visual perception of his personality. Photos to follow…
