    Damn. Dropped in an extra apostrophe! I'm usually pretty good about not pluralizing with them, but sometimes the fingers get ahead of the brain, and both o.k. the submit button before proofing...

    Bonus points: In what special case do you always use an apostrophe to pluralize?

    Been messing around with the burst image capture on the GoPro:

    <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rtadlock/8585277713/" title="Untitled by rtadlock, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8507/8585277713_5c92460dd7_b.jpg" width="1024" height="768" alt="Untitled"></a>

    This was a hand held shot, so I could only blend a few images. Can't wait to mess around with this more after I buy a tripod.

    I don't know if my first gen GoPro has that feature?

    Look into buying a mono pod. Great to use when moving and hand held is pretty steady. I use a small folding leg tripod for stills.

    Waiting on more pictures.

    If you just axe them, they can't do it again. :evil

    It may take a looooong time to get places but I am having a bunch of fun following my 8 year old around through the bushes. Trying to get him some seat time before the trails open up this spring, I think my truck is going to look like this a lot from now on :D

    Sometimes I feel like that may be justified.

    If I remember correctly, the first gen gopro could do a 3 shot burst. The H3 black can shoot 30 shoots in 1 second. I actually use my ski pole as a mono pod already. The seat post mount is always on the pole (you can see it in the picture), and I stick the pole in the snow and then tip the camera strait up. Guess I need my partner to start doing the same.

    And drop the "tt" in words like "written" and "kitten" and "bitten."

    "What a cute kih-in! Ouch! I got bih-in!" :twitch When did that become the norm?

    Those same folks would be happy to "borrow you some money" if they have enough to "borrow some out to you".

    Maybe they studied at University or were treated at Hospital.
