Purchases
« on: September 14, 2006, 10:53:43 PM »
For Ian's arrival we're planning on making a couple of purchases.  The first is a new intel based Mac (mostly for music and movie stuff.  Digital editing, etc.).  The next is a Digital Video Camera.  So we can take this generations version of super 8 home movies of our new arrival and upload terabytes to google video or youtube.  So this is where you come in.

I need recommendations for the Digital Video Camera.  I'd like to keep it under $1K, but in the future if I get into it enough and ever have the free time necessary, I'd be using it for doing short movies and possibly even a feature film.

Question: Did you choose to name him Ian because you like Ivan but don't like V?

He's named after my wife's grandfather Ian Murray.  Plus I've always liked the name (Ian MacKaye anyone?)

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be this way, but who the hell is Ivan?

There are many "in" jokes on this board that I really have no idea what you guys are on about, I try to figure most of them out, but this Ivan is bugging me.

Can someone clear this up for me, pretty please   :-)

You don't find out who Ivan is until Ivan decides that, fool.  Don't tempt fate.

At this point, that's like throwing a match into a fire... useless.

Speaking of Bender, does Joe Sixpack still hang around that other place?

The first rule of Ivan is you don't talk about Ivan.

In times where I'm not sure of what I'm doing or where I'm going in this life.  I simply ask myself


What Would Ivan Do?

And suddenly the answers become clear.

Old enough to know better.
Apparently not wise enough.
