Visual Trademark - A Blog By CJ Mills

We just got a new 1920×1080/24p HD camcorder to replace our old camcorder and I was itching to test it out. Fortunately, I have a little girl that was more than willing to be my test subject.
The funny thing about this new camcorder is that we don’t have an HD TV to view it on, [...]

I’ll be honest - if Jade had to pick between her mother or her father, she would be her mom probably 70% of the time. Its not because I’m a terrible dad or Andrea’s a better mom (but she is, really), its because Andrea is Jade’s world from 8-5 and, most nights, beyond. [...]

When the weather heats up, so does my desire to be outside and work in the yard. I’ve developed a slight obsession with turf maintenance. Burning designs into my backyard makes the task of mowing a lot more fun. Last year was the first year of experimenting. Today marked the first [...]

I know I’ve been showing a lot of videos lately, but that is all Visual, right? Anyways, tonight during the sound check for CP Youth’s worship set, Jadyn wanted her own microphone to check along with Mommy, so I hooked one up and caught this video on my Palm Treo (hence the low quality). [...]

I rushed home today so Jadyn and I could play outside. Today I was going to teach Jade the basics of soccer. I'll post some video later. After soccer practice, my beautiful wife made a pasta dinner for us all and we ate it outside on our new patio furniture. A [...]
