Last weekend I was transferring some old VHS video tape stuff to the computer in an effort to keep recorded history alive, ahead of the demise of the media upon which they’re recorded. I’ve still got old super-8 movies I have to transfer, as well as some cassette tapes. I’ll probably just have to give up on the wire recordings and wax cylinders. The clay tablets are holding up nicely though…
Anyway.
Michael and I were goofing around with the video camera and discovered the joy that is infinite video recursion.
Below is a small sample.
We actually burned about an hour and a half doing this. Sometimes the silliest things can be good diversion, particularly for a curious mind. Next week he’ll probably want to take the old video camera apart to see what’s inside.
That is so cute!
(MD) We had fun with it.
How very cool and fun. I love that Michael is so curious and bedazzled by technology & how cool is it that you patiently work on projects like this and feed his mind.
(MD) Sometimes it’s not so much a matter of patience as it is a matter of desperation and happy accidents.
I’m impressed! I think it’s great Michael is getting into technology and wants to learn how to manipulate it. How wonderful that you two have discovered another Father-Son activity to do together. Have fun!
(MD) There’s a lot about technology to get interested in, and he’s a creative kid so it doesn’t take much to fuel his imagination.
“Happy accident” or not, this is very cool! A great way to spend time together.
(MD) And it didn’t hurt that daddy had a little fun with it himself.
How cool is that!
I just found you through…well…I don’t remember where, was just blog hopping.

Cool stuff. Any little thing can be great father and son time. You never know what it will be.
(MD) No, you never really do until it’s happening. The trick is to always be ready for it.
