How about learning more about someone close to you by participating in the first annual StoryCorps National Day of Listening on November 28, 2008. When I first read about this in Samantha Gross' article linked here, I immediately thought of all the cool tools currently available that will allow someone to capture audio and/or video of family members and close friends before they are forgotten.
Here's my short list of Tools for Capturing the Moment:
- For the Apple enthusiast, simply turn on your Photo Book video and have at it.
- For the Windows user, how about spending $29.95 for the LifeCam VX-1000 and use it in combination with a free download of Windows Movie Maker. Simply connect the USB webcam, open Movie Maker and (under Movie Tasks) select #1 Capture Video from "video device". Your intelligent computer will find the webcam and you can just start recording.
- For additional free audio/video recording (also referred to by me as "capture") software, consider downloading the trial versions of SnagIt or Jing. With either one, you'll think Christmas has come early. And, you will will to explore the possibilities of these cool tools before the next gathering of friends and/or family.
Tell next time, have fun!
