I had just ordered more SD cards and batteries for the cameras for the trip. I figured it'd be a good time just testing taking some video. This is with the Sanyo VPC-HD2 in SHQ HD mode in very bad light. I need to click it back down to just HQ mode. It takes up too much space and uses too much battery in 'super' HQ mode. This ~ 3 minute video came in at 215mb in SHQ HD mode. The other camera mentioned is a Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS.
Ike Flooding in Maplewood
Our little, normally dry, creek that runs through Maplewood flooded on Sunday with when what was left of Ike had rolled through St Louis. We turned out not to really notice at our house. Only after Katie had tried to go out during the day did she find that most of the routes away from the house were blocked with water.
We took these around 11:30-ish and by the time we were on the way back from looking around the water had already gone down drastically.
iRacing.com
It's been a long time coming, but iRacing.com is finally launching soon. It's been a long trip through testing, but I really do think it's going to be the future of sim racing. There has been a few tries at filling the void left behind when Papyrus shut it's doors, but nothing quite compares to this. Now that the veil has been lifted, look for more iRacing information here on the site. In the mean time check out the official site iRacing.com and over to youtube for InsideSimRacing's preview video.
