Let those take the video. Not you. Otherwise all the video you take will be a) missing you and any interaction your wife would have with you, b) canned - as people react differently with a camera in their face.
Let the mounted cameras record. Then you can show your kids what it was like in a much more real sort of way. When we have cameras, we record what we believe are key moments. But if you just let the camera play, it'll record the little things. These are things you won't notice now. But will remember when she's gone.
I mean, correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't this the plan outlined by former President Bush.
Only difference is if a man with a [D] after his name does it. The media will praise him. If a man with an [R] after his name does it, they'll demonize and attack him.
Takes money from society as a whole and redistributes. Um, that's socialized.
Centralized. The rules governing it are under the governance of the central government (which yes, is on the eastern side of the U.S.). But it's centralized.
The Leaf is an electric drive train vehicle that can go for as long as it has a charge.
The Volt is an electric drive train vehicle that can go for as long as it has a charge, then kick in an auxiliary generator to recharge the battery to allow further travel when necessary beyond the normal average traveling distance.
The difference. The Volt is everything the Leaf is, and more!

The Volt with succeed where the Leaf and Honda Insight (1st Gen) failed.
Room for at least 4 adults, and unlimited range. No car sold in America will succeed on a production level with out those two aspects.
EV1 was NOT viable for U.S. market. You want proof of that? Look at the Honda Insight which was capable of getting 75mpg. It was a similar design (2 seater, not-sporty). It had three significant differences:
1. It could be refueled and continued with driving in a matter of minutes, versus hours.
2. It cost around $20,000 versus $60,000-$120,000.
3. It had all the current safety equipment required by law for a production car. The EV1 did not. And the added weight to add it would have resulted in the vehicle's range being drastically reduced.
--
Now, what was the result of Honda's Insight? Oh, that's right. It lost money. And in it's final year it sold a whopping 350 vehicles and was pulled from the market. And that was a vehicle that was a fraction of the cost of the EV1, and had none of it's limitations or drawbacks except for being a 2-seater.
The result, proof that the EV1 was "non-viable" as a production vehicle.
California is full of idiots who keep electing uber-idiots to office.
Sorry, this is a clear case of typical short-sightedness of politicians. They pass legislation without thinking half a thought about it (heck they pass it without reading it). The result is stupid stuff like this.
(ie: crux of the problem, the Volt's motor is NOT low enough emission for California's liking. So they totally dismiss the fact that said motor will run far less often than an average motor.)
If they passed the law based on an avg. miles per year and the waste emitted on a yearly basis, the Volt would easily make the muster. This is akin to the problem some states had with the Prius. People could not register their Prius' because they could not pass the state emission tests. Because the testing equipment was incompatible with a hybrid vehicles operation. So wait, we have a cleaner, more fuel efficient vehicle but can't register it because of EMISSIONS testing. WTF.)
Let's not even get into the fact that my Prius must run the motor for a few minutes, wasting gas, in order to warm up the catalytic converter. Thus, if I am taking a 5 minute drive down the street. I have to emit extra pollutants thanks to environmental regulations. Our government should have made an exception to having to have the catalytic converter warmed up, and allowed for a gradual warming.
Just stupidity....worse, we elected this stupidity.

Apple requires use of their development IDE for i-platform Apple requires purchase and use of a Mac to run their IDE Apple acts as a gate keeper for what you can install on your i-platform Apple restricts access to your own device.

The tradition for millenia has been if property is lost, and then found by someone else. It's acceptable salvage. Especially if a good faith endeavor was made to return said property.
This was in no way theft.

Nor should you be forced to turn over property to the police. Who merely keep it all for themselves and auction it off. There was a time when if you were to perchance to find $20 in a dryer. Then it was a blessing. Now you're supposed to turn it over to the police who will keep it or you become a felon.
I have never heard of this blog until recently. I find it's articles merely opinion, and sparse on any substance.
Furthermore, I label it a cowardly blog, as there is no option to comment upon these posts.

So let's look at the criticism from Apple. Flash is not an open standard. Well neither the !@#$% is Objective-C. Nor the entire iPhone/iPad development process.
So let's cut with the BS Steve. This is about two things $$$ & market control. Honestly, Adobe should release Flash Player for jailbroken phones.
I always found that I coded in sprints. I could get more accomplished in one sprint than in the three days prior. Programming often seems to be a thing of get stuck on some stupid issue totally separate from logic and design (the aspects of programming I enjoy) and finally getting through that stop gap and getting the rest of the code completed.
I've also found that many times that sprint occurs around 4pm-5pm (yes, when everyone else start going home). This has convinced me that we'd be better off if we offered programmers the option of working three 12 hour days. Such would facilitate longer sprints, and during periods of times with less distractions.
Actually, I believe there are laws that guarantee that I can bring my Mercedes to my local mechanic for repairs. In fact, there is a lawsuit going on the issue of diagnosis codes being kept secret.
And if I choose Apple, I have every right to bitch and moan and voice my opinion.
Flash is an animation framework. As such it is timed, and needs a clock. Most other applications do not. Therefore it constantly needs to ping the clock.
I remember reading that the reason the CPU cycles go high is that it has to go through the browser, and has restricted access. So it's pretty much constantly sending calls to the CPU via the browser for the clock.
There were much finer details. But I think it's akin to moving the mouse. I've always thought it funny that moving my mouse would shoot up my CPU cycles. But in fact, it had little effect on actual performance.
Oh wait, so all those years that Adobe pretty much kept Apple alive....
And Steve has burned Adobe far more than Adobe has ever done to Apple. Could it also be that Apple has changed their platform numerous times in the past 20 yrs (Motoral, PowerPC, Intel). And corresponding code bases. And when you have such a large application set as Adobe, you can't re-write overnight.
Apple's demands of purity, eliminating migration paths with demands for complete code in newer formats, etc. Delay the migration of large applications. Blaming Adobe for Apple's bad policies is unfair at the least.
Let's not forget that it's a tool set that pretty much requires you purchase an over-priced Mac to use it. And that could be the damning bit that wins Adobe's case.
I'd really like to develop for the iPhone on my PC. Adobe's CS5 would have allowed me a means to write apps for my iPhone.

Guess that makes us (Americans) stupid!
When you are trash talking all those who oppose and silencing them. And then your "Science Fu" is bad.
Don't expect not to get some backlash. These guys were a combination of arrogant twits and political hacks.
Don't understand why so many defend Apple's behaviors (but are so keen on jumping on Microsoft).
They are increasingly taking the most evil policy choices they can. It's beyond good business.
And any in the Open Source community who keep backing them. Realize you are backing the most closed company in tech.

There is a reason...

Yes, but anyone notice how Apple tends to release updates immediately following successful jailbreaking of their old versions.
