Mount Pleasant Pier

The Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission and the Town of Mount Pleasant have built a super park/pier. To visit the pier take the Ravenel bridge into Mt Pleasant SC and turn right like you are going to Patriots Point. The entrance to the Mt Pleasant Pier is on the right. Check out my Mt Pleasant Pier photo album.

I mounted my HD video camera to my kayak and paddled Chicken Creek SC. It was a relaxing trip. I have some YouTube clips to share below. Nothing exciting just a peaceful time-out. Enjoy.

Hummingbird Video Clips

Sun May 17, 2009 06:28:00 PM

To capture a rare vacation I purchased a high-definition video camera, Canon HF20. I didn't get much vacation footage but I'm starting a library of hummingbird video clips. My original plan was to combine the clips into a single 5 minute video production complete with transitions and audio but my aging PC is not up to the task of HD video editing. The revised plan is to just upload the clips as-is to YouTube. Below are links to the HD version of my YouTube clips. Please ignore or mute the audio.

If you have a slow Internet connection or an older computer you may need to toggle from the HD version by clicking on the red HD button at the bottom of the YouTube video player or try playing the standard versions directly from my YouTube channel.

My Neighborhood in Google Street View

I'm not sure how long ago this was done but Google captured my neighborhood in Street View. It is kind of neat and creepy. The photo looks like it was shot in December of 2007.

Home Depot Recycles CFL

Sat Nov 29, 2008 07:39:00 PM

I learned from earth911.com that Home Depot recycles Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFL). I took 4 burned out CFLs to the Home Depot on Northwoods Blvd. There is a recycle bin just inside the front door. And guess what? I purchased something after depositing the CFLs. It really does pay for a company to be green.
