I don't do the cooking and the wife doesn't read the board. I have thought about asking her if she could give them a try though.

I just had an idea though. Do you have any way of doing digital video? How about doing the cooking part of the Diet666 video cast? You can send me the footage though the yousendit service and then I can paste it together. What do ya think?

Ok, I use a still camera. Most digital still camera's now record video too. Not the greatest, but this ain't no slick production if ya haven't noticed. :uhoh

Straight up Mpeg or WMV seems to work best since I am using the crappy Microsoft video editor.
