Not sure if these were included with the camera and projector, or something we got separately.

Who needs to be all digital for short films? I'm breaking out the Super 8 camera for our next 48HFP. This guy is from the later 70s, as best as I am remember, and went on many family trips with us. Have tons of movie film I'd love to get converted one of these days.

Eulenspiegel Puppets and the Underground Railroad

Rich Harms — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:58:17 GMT

Went to a performance this morning by Eulenspiegel Puppets at St. Mark Lutheran Church in West Des Moines, it was their "Freedom Star; Gertie's Journey on the Underground Railroad" show. Enjoyed getting to meet the puppeteers and see a bit of the behind-the-scenes of how everything was setup. It was a mixture of rod puppets and shadow puppets. Find it amusing that I've now met two puppeteers that use overhead projectors for their shadow puppet shows.

Bucs Won!

Rich Harms — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 04:33:10 GMT

Wasn't quite as good as the 10-1 win the last time they played Team USA, but I think I can live with a 4-3 overtime win tonight.

Tonight was also the jersey auction to support the John Stoddard Cancer Center's Stoddard Care Coordinator program. Very happy to have been able to participate again this year.
