This is a very first seriously flawed video. It is a synthesis of various pictures and clippings from video. It has a soundtrack, and a very fragmentary badly recorded commentary that make the sequence of images somewhat meaningful. I also fear that it may have some odd breaks filled with nothingness, the result of problematic editing. It is in short a test. To see if I can produce compressable and editable text. It took some time to produce but it was fun even if you think it is not worth much. Let us now see how it shows on the big (well... small) screen.

We're experiencing growth in the Vancouver Ann Arbor contingent. More members arrive and proper dinner part numbers have already been reached. On another front, papers have been corrected and grades will be submitted tomorrow. I can now fully dedicate myself to research and to playing with my new camera a Canon Powershop S5IS. It is fully automated as I did not feel ready for the digital SLR experience. This already has enough options to make me happy, plus 8 megapixels and a 12X zoom. I am looking forward to the summer and the archeological tour. For now however, I am ready to leave for dinner with members of the Ann Arbor contingent.
