The other day I purchased a Genius Eye 110 webcam. The specs looked reasonable and, I felt, this webcam would be ideal for it’s intended purpose which was to talk to my baby (Ana) via Skype.
It installed fine on my Windows XP machine. Skype recognised it straight away. I wasn’t happy. The image looked great, however, as soon as I moved my head everything went blurry. What’s the point of having a webcam that can’t maintain a clear picture? I took it back the next day.
I was quite surprised at just how bad this webcam was. After all, I have a Creative Webcam GO that’s over SIX years old now. They share the same resolution and yet the creative is far superior in it’s ability to produce clear video. There’s over six years of technological difference here! What gives?
Now I’m on the lookout for a good webcam at a reasonable price. I don’t need the latest and the greatest, just something that works well with Skype. Ana & I love Skype. Skype has kept our relationship strong during the times that we’ve been apart. It’s great for talking to family and friends and has saved me an absolute fortune in overseas phone calls.
Its true. The therapeutic qualities of seawater have been known for centuries. Hippocrates wrote about the healing affects it had on the injured hands of fishermen. The seawater reduced infection, and patients treated with seawater found that it also promoted pain relief.
My husband and I had a great opportunity to go for a swim recently and it felt GREAT! I dont remember when was the last time I jumped in the sea (or even in a swimming pool) and I know for sure I should do this more often. Living in a city like Rio and also so close to the beach, it seems I have no excuse for not swim. It was absolutely great going to Paraty. Its here, so close, and I have forgotten about this wonderful and relaxing place. (ps: there are many more places I want to show my husband – and have fun with him).
