It was cloudy for much of the afternoon, which gave me an idea. As I was heading to the shower, I detoured out the front door. There, I placed my new $30 camcorder on the ground, facing up.
I showered, dressed and forgot it was there. Forty some odd minutes later, I went outside to retrieve it.
It only took a moment to move the video file from the camcorder, and a few minutes more to speed it up to make my time lapse.
Here's the finished product. It's not Earth shattering... except when you realize the universal availability of the technology to do this.

Geoff,
Where did you get a camcorder for $30? I want one!
I get your updates from your RSS feed and this is what I read in my feed reader:
"It was cloudy for much of the afternoon, which gave me an idea. As I was heading to the shower, I detoured out the front door. There, I placed my new $30 camcorder on the ground, facing up. I showered,..."
Despite the word "camcorder" appearing far too near two occurrences of "shower", I somehow clicked through anyway. I've read your blog long enough to know that there was probably something interesting to be seen (and not interesting in an unseemly way).

Thought you'd be amused.
