The Crap I Buy – Budget HD Camcorder

April 30th, 2008 Dyllie No comments

A few days ago I read about a cheap budget HD camcorder for under $200 on engadget, needing a camcorder i picked one up. So far all the videos have been recorded by my Canon SD870IS or off my iSight built into my MacBook, which so far have been decent for YouTube videos. My buddy has a nice Sony HD camcorder, its a little bulky for my tastes, but the videos are amazing.

This DXG was $169 from Radio Shack. It records in 720p saving in MOV format. Great if you’re using a Mac, but kinda crappy format for PCs. The camera supports SDHC so you can use those cheap 8GB SDHC cards off of slickdeals. The video quality is grainy at best.

Knife holder turned key rack.

So we went to Ikea to help Richard furnish his new apartment and picked up this knife holder. We picked up two because he had a bunch of knives. Well as it turns out there wasn’t room for two of these so we made a handy, dandy key rack. As you can see, it also stores lighters too! So far we don’t think anything on our key rings are sensitive to magnetic fields. Are keyless entry fobs sensitive? Or what about USB memory sticks? Anyone know?

Welcome!

April 25th, 2008 Dyllie No comments

Ok everyone welcome to the new dylantan.net.  I know the site is a little bare right now, but I will be adding more and more content in the coming weeks.

For right now the most important thing, PHOTOS are up and available. There are eight years in memories in the photo section, so if you haven’t already done so; take a trip down memory lane.

Also I have decided to join the YouTube generation and start making my own videos. Yes they will have low production values and have lame ass topics. “The Crap I Buy” will be a series of videos focused on, well, the crap I buy. If you know me, I’ll find something useless to squander money on; and now everyone will know what.

I hope everyone enjoys the new site, remember to comment and leave me feedback so I can make the site better for everyone.  Have Fun!
