A Tiny Gift
When Eli 24.2 visited me in August, I wanted to find one special present for his (late) birthday. I was stumped until I saw this:
That's the TinyTV 2, which has a screen size of 1.14 inches.
Looking at it is magical. I can't explain why, exactly, but it feels like its own, secret world. I took some video clips from the Cambridge Rivalry Match last season, converted them, and loaded them onto the little TV. I even found a clip from an amazing save Eli made in 15U when he was playing the #1 team in the country.
You can advance through the clips via the button on the TV or the included remote control, and there's even a speaker.
Eli lit up when he saw it. "What is this?" he asked.
"It's you and hockey," I said. I turned it on and he couldn't believe it. It's the reaction you have when you didn't know something was possible and see it for the first time.
I wanted to record a video for a the blog, but I decided it was something I wanted just for him. I don't think he'll ever forget it.
