Got 3-minutes to get away from technology and into the lush summer woods of New England to North Pack Monadnock Mountain?! Sure, video of a hike is a poor substitute, but maybe you can't get into the woods? Maybe you're in the city? Or a wheelchair? Maybe this is "assistive hiking"? Get some headphones, clear a few minutes, take a few deep breaths and follow me into the woods. Who knows, the deep breaths alone might be good? I'll keep the editing mellow, with no surprises and make the peak in ...
Testing: Canon's new <$700 Canon SD Card video camera is put through its paces in the wilds of New Hampshire. Beaver, Turkey, a rare Wood Duck, spring flowers and an old barn are used to test frame rate, scene mode, white balance, macro, on-board mic. and assist light. Is it a video bloggers dream?

Who is unconnected from technology? We search for person in New York City who is unconnected to technology. No cell phone, no Web, no computer. 9 Min. When the Web goes down, or our phones die we feel isolated, unconnected. This may be good for a vacation, but it's increasingly a bad feeling in our normal day to day developed world, eespecially here in New York City where cell phones are like wrist watches in the 1950s, everyone has one, it's just what style and brand you like.
