Instructables has a Camera Zip-lock tip; I tried it at Taido Camp, but didn’t think much of it. It made the camera very tough to hold, and the perspiration on my hands made the plastic slippery. I wanted it to work for me; I’ll just have to be careful in sandy environments.

8 Changes I Experienced After Giving Up TV
In June I decided to do a 30-day trial of no TV watching. DVDs were OK, but I wasn’t going to watch any regular programming or cable shows or tape anything with my DVR. At the end of the 30-day trial, I was pleased with the results, so I kept going. Now that it’s been over 60 days, I thought I’d share my observations on life without TV.
We watch almost no broadcast TV, only videos from friends, the library, and Netflix. I can vouch for the things he noticed, especially how irritating television is, especially when it’s on. When I’m in a restaurant or waiting room that has a TV, it’s an irritant I find very difficult to bear.
