Today we spent some enchanted evening at the grand opening of "Chez Clay" - the habitat of our dear friend Clayton. He did a great job setting up the apartment for the party. The living room was spanking clean with lots of room to move around and at the same time everyone had a place to sit. Some Enchanted Evening After Milton sang in the video above, we were convinced that he was a man full of love and affection. He sang more love songs in peace and harmony. Then Clayton and I decided to hype things up a little by playing our own music. I skimmed the room full of musical instruments and my focus dwelled on a saxophone - my favorite instrument to play! Ahem... :) Saxophone Jam Then Clayton and I delved into the world of percussion. When Milton heard the entrancing sounds of the drums, he started to change. He got up in the middle of the room and started to perform some mysterious tribal dance. Right in front of our eyes Milton transformed from loving and friendly to scary and deadly! The Attack of Deadly Milton I will never forget Clayton's sacrifice to save our dear Kerrie! |

Actually a co-worker of mine and I were eating it in an air-conditioned conference room because the temperature outside is 115 degrees. I wonder if I will see more people on the street wearing bathing suits today...

Now, about the camera...is it a special kind? Cause I'm kinda rockin on this whole webcam idea...Not that a writer looks particularly interesting when she writes...LOL...I checked out the stickcam site, but they don't specify a particular camera.
Funky.<grin>

Stickam works with pretty much any webcam. The one I got is Logitech Orbit MP. What I like about it is that it has a 9 inch pole (removable) so I can put it next to the monitor or anywhere on my desk and it has a good angle relative to my face. It also has automatic face tracking, so when you move around it will turn itself to follow your face. The cheapest price I could find for it is on Amazon for around $95:

Alternatively you can get this one without a pole for $61:

Some laptops these days come with built-in webcam. Stickam site should work with them too.
The beauty of stickam.com is that you don't have to install any software on your computer. All you need is a web browser. You can also "stick" your webcam on any website such as your blog. It's very easy to do. Check it out!
By the way I am 65.09% into "Dancing With His Heart". (My ebook reader tells me that :) I like it very much so far. I even did a whole research on autism on wikipedia! How nice it is to read! You always learn something new!

Glad you're enjoying the read. That's what reading's about, for the most part, right? And coming away knowing something we didn't know before add icing on the cake so to speak.
