First GoPro Pics!

So, yeah, my wife gave me a GoPro for Christmas - 8 months ago. I think she was expecting exciting videos of her studly husband bravely riding his mountain bike off of a desert cliff and parachuting to the safety of a canyon floor below. That would require me getting a mountain bike, a parachute, and finding a cliff - not to mention a pair of balls a size larger than those I'm currently packing.
I did finally get it out and after a Vash size eff-up (I put the wrong case on it and soaked it in water) I actually made a little 1 minute video. I basically dunked in our fish pond to get a look at the world as they see it. It turned out to be a blessing because I caught a glimpse of one of the albino catfish we put in the pond two months ago and haven't seen since. I thought they had died.

For my next video I'm going to buy a tripod for my iPhone so I can make an iPhone video of myself operating my quadcopter as it videos my fish interacting with the GoPro. It will be a statement about narcissism in the age of ubiquitous and instantaneous image "sharing."

edit: Hmm, after the fish vid youtube pops up an unfinished clip from a video I made from the quad copter 2 years ago. I don't know why.

I've captured some fun moments with the kids on my go pro. Just today I was teaching my youngest to boogie board and so I wore it for a while as I taught him and then stuck it on his head while he was riding. We got some funny stuff. A couple of months ago I stuck it on my Cub Scout's heads as the raced down the hill in their soap box derby cars. Those were great videos too.

Wouldn't mind getting video of me surfing or something except that you know, it would have me in it...

What is the format for posting video here? My .mov files won't post and haven't yet tried to post a GoPro.

Wait till you see the time lapse function. I put mine outside if we see a good storm coming. Caught this pic and a few more like it after a storm passed.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
