Online video: YouTube & other sites

Our son likes to check out YouTube for clips on shortcuts and cheats for his video games. Usually what he finds are videos with lousy picture quality--like someone had used the video camera feature on a cell phone to take images from a TV set--and a muddled soundtrack. So that's been my experience with YouTube.

There are, of course, countless other sites that provide online video clips. The link below to "The American River: Kayak It" is from Sacbee.com, and it appeared, along with the print article, earlier this month. Two of the Bee's reporters took a handheld video camera and filmed some of the sights when floating down the American River from Hazel Avenue to near CSUS. The link is to the entire article, and it includes an 8 1/2 minute video. Enjoy!

PS--When the link was successfully uploaded to this blog on the first try, it was another of those "Hey, it really worked!!" moments.
