Corrupted Memory Cards

So I finally bought myself a camcorder to record my son's life from when he's -2 months old until he's married. I started looking into an SD card so that I can save some pictures and video to it.

I soon remembered that my father-in-law and a friend both lost some great pics (including some from my wedding) because their cards were corrupted. All that to lead into some reading into how you can avoid corrupting your memory card.

For example, here are some of the main reasons memory cards become corrupted:

• Taking one photo after another too rapidly. A camera can not complete writing one image before starting the next.
• Using a memory card from one camera in a different camera. If you use a card from another camera, format it in the new camera first.

Interview with the pastor of BTK

Check out this interview with Pastor Clark of Christ Lutheran Church. The infamous BTK killer went to that church. Now, after his arrest, Pastor Clark has changed his theology a bit:

"There is definitely an evil force out there that is viable," Clark says.

You can put it on the booooard ... YES!!

YEAAAH ... The Good Guys in Black are going to the World Series!

Miers

The Associated Press picked a bad title for this article, so I went in thinking it'll be a bashing. But I learned a lot about Ms. Miers and her church. She's really involved there, and she has a heart for India!

She also served on the missions committee and took a deep interest in its programs in central India, according to minister Barry McCarty, inviting him and an Indian mission director to lunch at the White House last March.

I'm not saying she's an amazing woman, nor am I a supporter yet. We'll see what happens as years pass.

Text Message through email

Want to send a text message to someone but don't want to type on your miniature cell phone? You're already sitting in front of a computer, so just send an email to friends_ph_number@teleflip.com (where friends_ph_number is a 10-digit number) and your friend will receive the text message. No more anxiety about typing on a phone keypad for what should be a quick and simple message.

Just remember to keep the text msg to less than 120 characters, which includes the sender's email address (sucks if you have a long one).

My sis ran the Chicago Marathon today! It was fun to experience the excitement of this annual event. It was a long and grueling day. I think it was pretty tough for Nit and Shawn too. Shawn's knee was killing him, but you can ask him about that.

Things That Only Happen In Movies

Some of my favorites:

1. It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or opposite the building you are visiting.

3. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment it's aired.

7. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode.

14. On a police stake-out, the action will only ever take place when food is being consumed and scalding hot coffees are perched precariously on the dashboard . . .

17. If you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts, your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until you have defeated their predecessor.

18. If a microphone is turned on it will immediately feedback.

24. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. Nobody will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building undetected.

30. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in you room will still be visible, just slightly bluish.

33. All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach to armpit level on a woman but only up to the waist of the man lying beside her.

35. During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.
