As many loyal Wisdom readers know, the wife is about to release a new human into the world. Due date is July 28. So I”ve got my hospital bag together and want to make sure I”m not missing anything. So any new dads out there - let me know if I”m lacking something. I have:
- Video camera (I broke down and went HD; my child shall come into the world at 1280 x 720)
- Digital camera (Did not upgrade from 5.1 megapixels)
- Gorillapods for each of the above
- My iPod loaded up with video (first seasons of The Office and The Sopranos, Napoleon Dynamite, Elvis “68 Comeback Special, etc.)
- Accouterments for the above (chargers, batteries, iPod video cable, extra media for the cameras, etc.)
- I”ll have the iPhone and Helio Drift for mobile communications and PowerBook for production.
- Lindy”s, Athlon and Sporting News college football annuals (not to be opened until the hospital).
And things like toiletries and a change of clothes; but those are pretty inconsequential.
For those of you wanting to keep up on developments, I”ll be Twittering updates and posting pics to a Flickr account that”s restricted to friends and family. Write to capnken at gmail if you”d like to be looped into the Flickr thing.
