Only Three Days To Go!

It's cold, crisp and, today at least, clear. Making it feel just right for Christmas and the Winter Holidays. Keep in mind, gift giving doesn't have to stop on Christmas Day. Good gifts are welcomed at all times of the year; even in January!

I just wanted to follow up on my last entry concerning the Flip Mino cameras that Cafe Press and i are now offering. I mentioned that i was going to purchase one. I did, and i am really glad that i did! The last camcorder i bought was an analogue monster from, like, 1993. I probably have not used it in 4 years. The Flip that i bought was the HD version and i am very pleased with it. Recording is almost too simple, and the included software makes it just as easy to upload to your computer and, if desired, to the web.

This video is one of the first ones i made using my new Flip HD camcorder. It's simple, and light. But the picture clarity is very nice. Publishing it to YouTube was a snap! As for "Sox", i have him contracted to do an additional number of shorts for me, and will be using the Flip to do them all.

As for this holiday shopping season, i must say that i am a little surprised at how successful my shop has been this year. The economic state of the nation is no secret. I did expect only modest sales; but am enjoying a better season this year than last! One of the most successful items from my shop this season has been the Sarah Claus design. Almost all purchases were done as ornaments. Thank you, Sarah. You would have made a pretty bad VP, but you sure know how to sell!

Ok. That's really about it for now. There's so much to be done yet before the big day, and i am in big trouble already. We here at Bakktalk Online Gifts wish all of you, whoever you are, a warm, pleasant and memorable holiday season. Enjoy and be safe, all of you.

See you in 2009!
