Please help my Flip learn to count past five

I record videos with my Flip video camera. I download the videos. The file names are VID00001.AVI, VID00002.AVI, etc. Next time I make a video on the Flip, it starts back again at VID00001.AVI. How do I get it to keep on counting up, so I don't end up with multiple files named VID0001.AVI on my computer?

Books like "The a Monster at the End of This Book"?

Can you recommend any children's books along the lines of The Monster at the End of This Book? I'm looking for funny books, for kids, where the characters know they're in books. (This is to entertain two goofy kids, ages five and two.)

Can you recommend an architect in the Seattle area? I'm hoping to have a second story put on my ranch house, and need professional advice. (I'll also happily take recommendations for contractors.)

Seattle-area bookcase company?

I want to have some bookshelves made for my living room. Any recommendations for a Seattle-area carpenter or company to do the work? Also, can you identify a furniture style for me (links inside) so I can describe the shelves I want?

Babysitter

I'm searching for a babysitter to look after my two delightful kids, ages 1 1/2 and 5, while I'm in my home office reading Metafilter working. The work would be every Monday, plus additional hours as needed and as your schedule permits. We're in Shoreline, one mile north of Seattle, near I-5. My kids are energetic, funny, get along well with each other, and like babysitters in general. Experience with ADHD is helpful but not vital.

Babysitter

I'm searching for a babysitter to look after my two delightful kids, ages 1 1/2 and 5, while I'm in my home office reading Metafilter working. I need someone right away while I work on a project. After March, when our current sitter moves, I'll be looking for a one-day-a-week regular babysitter. The hours are flexible but need to be weekdays, during the day. We're in Shoreline, one mile north of Seattle, near I-5. My kids are energetic, funny, get along well with each other, and like babysitters in general. Experience with ADHD is helpful but not vital.

What program can I use to organize small rectangles on a larger rectangle?

I'm looking for a program that will help me tech edit sewing patterns. Specifically, I want to be able to check that the pattern calls for the correct amount of fabric. This involves putting flat shapes together and seeing how big they are when they're combined. (It's all very SAT, with a touch of Tetris.)

A merry Bavarian Christmas to you
