Petting Llamas in Texas
Now that I'm back from SWSX, somewhat over my jetlag, and BarcampBrighton2 is over, I'm looking forward to a few weeks of productive work in Brighton.
But first, Llamas.
During South-by, a bunch of us hit the Star of Texas Fair & Rodeo. What an experience!
Part of the experience included an encounter with a petting zoo at the fair. Other memorable highlights for me were my consumption of a pizza on stick (which was then outdone by Leah Culver eating a Beef Sundae), five-year-olds riding sheep, and a sheepdog-riding monkey (which I, unfortunately, missed.)
Here's the video of the petting zoo, shot on a FlipCam courtesy of Adobe and edited online (on my Eee PC and on my Mac) using the excellent JumpCut.
(The lovely thing about this combination -- an Eee PC, FlipCam, and JumpCut -- is that you get a video editing solution under $400. Crazy cool!)

$400? Only if you live in the USA. The FlipCam Ultra might be a mere $149 from Amazon.com, but they won’t ship to the UK and amazon.co.uk want £189 (ie about $370) for the same thing! I get really quite ****ed off with US company’s ripping us off like this.

I hope you enjoyed your epic encounter with the llamas. We have thirty of these gentle, beautiful creatures at our ranch in Minnesota, and they’re a ton of fun. Llamas rock!
