And now an update on an interview I published last week with United Airlines regarding the viral video controversy, United Breaks Guitars.
Allow me to vent for a minute. Online video may be the future of travel, but it is most certainly not the present.
One of the most popular cameras on the number one photo-sharing site isn’t a camera at all. It’s the Apple iPhone. I mention this for two reasons. First, because a new iPhone is being released June 19. And second, because it now includes a feature that promises to change the way we travel: a video camera.
I wanted to like the Canon Vixia HFS10. I really did. I own two Canon cameras — the mercurial Canon 1D Mark III and the forgiving Canon EOS 40D — but when it comes to video, I’ve always shot Sony. Still, the HFS10 looked like the ideal travel companion. It was compact, light, had a terrific lens and most important of all, it seemed easy to use. But looks can be a little deceiving.
Golf and pirates! Who can imagine a better combination? Not Aren, Iden or Erysse, who tried their hand at minigolf today.

They let the Armchair Traveler out of the office this week. Here’s his report on the “highs” and “lows” of travel, as he visits New Mexico and Colorado. Here’s a high-resolution version.
The Armchair Traveler shows you how to find an inexpensive floating vacation. Here’s episode 4 of the videocast. Here’s a high-definition version. Enjoy!
Erysse Elliott turned one, and her parents took her to the Magic Kingdom to get her first haircut. This video was directed by her brother Aren and produced by her brother Iden. Daddy is still trying to figure out how to use Final Cut.
