Note: neither picture is actually mine. My camera is over there *points*.

I decided I wanted to try out Android, and I've been wanting something to watch movies on that didn't take up usable screen real estate. I also get a "thingy" that will do ssh with a real (allbeit crappy) keyboard.

Mechanical…relatively cheap…good, clicky switches. I'm liking it, though I don't game. "Gaming" keyboards are better for typing too, depending on the switches in them.

I also replaced my monitor with a 22" LG. IDK if I mentioned that. It looks like a monitor, is matte, and functions. And it was cheap because it's an older model.

very nice on the mechanical keyboard they are tons better than the conventional membrane style keyboards, i got a filco majistouch ninja ten-keyless mechanical with cherry MX brown switches and really love the keyboard for gaming and typing in general, crazy to spend more than 100 bucks on a keyboard but once you have it, its hard to imagine using anything else

and i also heard great things about the Nexus 7, android fan here, i'll eventually get one of these couch toys but too much other stuff to buy first >.<

the case itself, is just to protect the camera from the elements. The lens is what gives the wide angle.

i'll take another pic of the camera without the housing in a few. they made a lot of improvements on the glass, comparing to the 2nd gen.

1080P at 60fps or 720P at 120fps. I'm going to have some super slo-mo vids of me busting my ass!!!

Super excited!!

So here is the first video I took with the camera today and my first attempt at doing a little video editing.

Let me know what you think? I'm trying to get familiar with the GoPro and it's settings before our trip.

What the hell kind of intersection was that first one? free for all?

The footage looks alright, what setting did you use? the biggest difference between amazing gopro footage and poor gopro footage will be the compression, if you export using youtube/vimeo/etc.. type of preset settings in your editing program, you will get crap, if you export to a higher codec, then you'll get better looking footage, 90% of editing programs will cripple your footage.

I just spent 100 seconds of my life looking at a POV shot of driving a car with random slow-mo intervals, all edited to the sound of trap music.

I have better things to do, why am I not doing them ?

Gopro looks cool. I want one for when I go skiing next week but would never use it any time else and I don't get to go skiing often living in FL now which is sad.

I'm debating my next purchases. I want some modular stuff but with all this talk of a federal assault weapons ban I am rethinking my priorities. Grabbed some 17rd magazines and am debating picking up an AR15 lower receiver but availability and prices are crazy right now. People are selling pmags for like $75 each on ebay.
