Thanks!

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

To the unnamed reader who bought one of these off my Amazon Wishlist.

I’ve only had it for a day, but so far it seems as fun and easy to use as the glowing reviews indicate.

Someone should talk someone like George Soros or Peter Lewis into buying thousands of these, then handing them out in low-income areas to document police abuses. It’s also just a handy, lightweight little camera a journalist can always keep tucked away in a bag. And only $140.

Also, thank-yous to the handful of people who’ve rattled the Agitator tip jar over the last month or so. I appreciate your support.

    So, now that you have a little portable video camera, what exciting hobby are you going to take up to take videos of? And, when can we expect to start seeing them on youtube?

    Probably full 60 minutes of putting up shelves!

    I vote for it being used to establish “The Agi-tube”

    A Bill Belichick-esque operative for the Indy Colts perhaps?

    If you end up posting a video feature, I suggest that you take Mikestermike’s and SusanK’s ideas and combine them into a feature named in honor of Belichick.

    The Chick-tube.

    Hmmm, now that I see it in writing, I think this already exists. And I’m pretty sure it’s something completely different.

    I click on your ads at least a few times a week.
    Now if only someone would buy my book.

    Wait a second!

    If I start a blog … write fantastic articles … create an Amazon wishlist … people I don’t know will buy me stuff?

    Dude, I’m so doing that!

    Cool cam, by the way.
