A New Toy, and it was FREE!

That's a very good price...

Windows LIVE Movie Maker

I've been hunting down movie editing software for a while and most are expensive and do most of the work automatically, rather than stirring ones own creative juices. Then I stumbled upon this program. Yes, it is a bit clunky and amateurish, but that's me all over.

To be honest, all previous versions of Windows included a simple movie editing program, but not Windows 7. Of course, not. The Gates giveth and the Gates taketh away.

I visited the MS website and downloaded the correct version for Windows 7 which was easier than such downloads of yesteryear. I plan to spend some free time putting together slideshows of still pics and movies shot with the little FLIP digital video camera received as a gift.

And if the damned groundhog was right, I'll have plenty of cold days and nights to play and share. At the very least this activity will keep the brain cells from freezing up. Stand back DeMille and Capra, your days are over. Ow! Sorry.

Hey! It really and truly is after 5 o'clock here. Sazerac Time!!!
