Cancún – Day Two

by

I need wonder no more, the day played out in… unsatisfactory terms. I did some research (too little, too late) about the timeshare that we got roped into viewing – having said that, it was too late to back out, but now I knew it was going to be the highest pressure type sales pitch. … Read more

Cancún – Day One

by

We started our trip at 6:00AM, for our direct flight to Cancun at 8:30AM. Even though ASU just ended their Spring Break, there were still obvious college kids on their way to get drunk. Although they only represented about 20 people on the entire flight, somehow we managed to sit amongst them. At first, they … Read more

Comfort in Geocaching

by

A while back I posted my video about my dad’s final request – to have his ashes scattered at one of his favorite viewpoints in the mountains. My dad was never interested in geocaching, but my wife, kids and I are and we placed a new geocache – the only one we’ve ever placed – … Read more

That we, his family – that I, his only child – would have accepted that burden without complaint … Read more

iMovie for iPad2

by

Some time back, I wrote a review of iMovie on the iPhone 4. This was shortly after the app was first available and I didn’t give it a very good review. It was buggy, limited and difficult to control with precision.

Now, with the advent of the iPad 2, Apple has revamped iMovie to be a universal iPhone 4/iPad 2 app. I’ve recently had the opportunity to try out the iPad version in a real-world situation.

We recently had an employee appreciation event at my work and a co-worker and I used our iPhone 4’s to record video and pictures of the event. I then proceeded, at the event, to edit the video on my iPad.

Combined with editing my last vlog entry, I reel I have a good basic grasp of the new iPad iMovie experience.
