I tried out a couple of time lapse sequences recently. My camera doesn't have a built-in feature, but I found a very cool (free) application called Sofortbild that makes it so your Mac can control your camera. I set the interval to 10 seconds and played some frisbee with my kids while it clicked away.

This one is over a 50-minute period:

Emilie created this slide show last night to convince Grandma and Grandpa that this would be a great place for a 40-year anniversary - slash - family reunion.

UPDATE Spring 2011: I still haven't found a source for the real thing, but I found a close second. A friend in Germany sent me some "Vitalis Knusper" cereal, Dr. Oetker brand. It tastes great! And it's easier to find online. The best is the "Double Chocolate" version he sent me, but I haven't found it online yet. I just ordered 4 boxes of the regular version from Euro Food Mart. The boxes are small -- maybe 4 or 5 bowls -- and the shipping is pricey, but I'll take what I can get. It's also available (for a higher price) at Germandeli.com. The regular version (not double chocolate) isn't an exact match for taste, but it may help with withdrawal symptoms. If anyone finds a place with the double chocolate version, let me know in the comments.

Warning: do not get the Vitalis cereal called simply "Schoko Musli". It tastes like dirt. I spent $40 on a few boxes before realizing my horrible mistake. Fortunately, it's pretty good added to no-bake cookies, so it wasn't a total loss.
