Thanks. It's a Pentax Optio W20. It's actually a crummy camera overall, and I really wouldn't recommend it. However, it does a good job with macros and has a nice mult-shot self-timer feature, which is how I get the self-portraits.
My complaint with it is that the autofocus really stinks, especially if there's water in the frame, which defeats the purpose of a waterproof camera. I take many more shot than I post, but most of them are out of focus, or some weird part of the background is in focus while the subject and foreground are blurry.
Yet, despite this, it can take macro shots and be in focus at about 1/2 an inch away. Go figure.
