First, let me be clear that I don't like cats that much, however they do make good photography subjects and "Ki-Ki" is the first thing I saw after the following took place. (click the cat pix for larger view of detail)
I've been a little bummed ever since my camera stopped working. I'm not very technical, but when I'm faced with having to replace a $300 investment after only 2 years of use, it's amazing how creative I can get. Before I get too excited about my skills, I do recognize that had it come down to me taking the thing apart with a screwdriver, it would be an R&D exercise to see how digital cameras are made, rather than a solution that would fix anything. Surprisingly, I was able to get it working just one step short of that. One of the battery contacts had broken off, so I engineered a paper clip modification that works great.
We went to the kids workshop at Lowes this morning. Today's project was a tic-tac-toe game. It has a sliding drawer that holds the pieces. It's always fun for the kids to build stuff. Turns out the 6 yr old is great with the hammer. Maybe she can fix my next technical mishap.
