When not busy pounding away on his keyboard, he can be found at book readings, concerts, gelaterias, pizza joints, Barton Springs, movie theaters, the golf course, or home with a book. The M.O. gives readers a little insight into the world of this man without a plan.

Last night over dinner, my friend Allen and I discussed options for me in my search for a camera that could shoot video. We were bandying about the idea of getting a Single Lens Reflex camera (probably too expensive) or maybe a Flip Camera (don’t know much about those) when Allen mentioned just upgrading my 3Gs iPhone to an iPhone 4. Being tech challenged (to say the least), I wasn’t sure about how the picture would look or how it would sound. Then I found this documentary short, “156 Turns,” which shows footage from the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. With the help of Owle Bubo camera mount, the filmmaker shot the following entirely on the iPhone 4. Looks pretty sweet. Now to bother the Statesman’s Digital Savant with some questions about which camera/phone I should purchase.
