Anyone unfamiliar with the quote in the subject line of this post really, really needs to go check out The Young Ones (now on DVD!). But I digress.
I’ve been backing up all the video I have sitting around on MiniDV tapes to my NAS. It’s been great going back over all the stuff I’ve captured the last couple years, and it’ll be handy to have it all in one place, especially when the fabled HTPC is up and running and we can pull the videos right up off the server anytime we want to view them on the TV.
Ava’s been having fun looking at the video, too. She loves to watch movies of herself as a baby. And also of her dancing. I think it’ll be nice for her to have this documentation to look back on when she’s older. Seems to me there’s something very informative — grounding, I guess — about looking at yourself as a child and trying to understand how you got from there to here.
