Bill Roper's Journal

So here's a clip of Robin Williams on a USO tour when he's interrupted by the lowering of the flag at the base he's at, which is apparently called the "retreat ceremony". (I knew about the lowering of the flag from having lived on Air Force bases in my youth, but never knew what it was called.)

He'd never seen this before, as it happens.

daisy_knotwise has been threatening to grab the video camera and record this for a while. When Katie and Julie asked to be dressed in their ballerina costumes, well, it was just too good an opportunity to pass up.

By way of Instapundit, I've stumbled across a rap video of Hayek and Keynes discusssing economics. It's a lot of fun, although those are the two worst fake mustaches I've seen in a while.

I've been eyeing the Flip Ultra HD videocamera for a while. I'm sure there are things that it won't do, but one thing that it does make easy is uploading a video. For instance, there's this short test video of Katie, who is a bit more interested in eating her grapes and watching Curious George than she is in participating in Internet video.
