Time to Go XMAS Shoppin'

Geeks.com had a good deal for 100 bucks, on a Polaroid t833. I ordered it last week and it came in the mail today. I took a few photos with it and so far it is what I was expecting. 8 megapixel on a ccd 1/2.5" inch, makes grainny photos indoors. The ISO can be boosted to 1600. that's 2 stops more than my canon G5. I wasn't expecting much. just a disposable camera really to take on trips to the beach and to snow covered Yosemite :) It takes a standard SD/SDHC card and comes with a rechargeable...

I just went over to zazzle.com again and got some cool Star Wars Coffee Mugs for 30% off. One of my co-workers loves Vader. maybe he's abit evil himself. ;) My other good friend i can't decide, maybe something from Southpark... Darth Vader is My Homeboy by starwars Make photo mugs on Zazzle

I picked up a used macbook pro 15inch the previous generation unibody without the SD card slot. I have to say I absolutely ThINK APPLE makes the bet laptop bodies out there. I've owned quite a few laptops in over the years. plastic, aluminum, even magnesium body ones. This unibody is the most solid ever.I can pick it up by the corners and not feel any body flex. My previous macbook pro 15 and my powerbooks, all flex abit when you pick them up. it alwasy bugs me. now no more. :)the computer feels very solid. I just love it.snow leopard works great and I just bought windows 7 home premium or ...

The New G11 looks great, and it has downsized the megapixel sensor.It replaces the G10 which is 14.7megapixel. Now the G11 has 10 Megapixel.The stupid megapixel race is OVER! Yeay. maybe now they can concentrate on making better photos by 1.improving low light(less noise). 2.Better dynamic ranges. Film has always had much more dynamic range. I used to work at Ritz camera and I can do some amazing prints from negatives which looked all washed out. Boy do I miss the days of AGFA ultra 50... I still have a few rolls of AGFA Film Ultra 100 I shot in my RolleiFlex-But only on very special occasions. ...

Well the bad thing happened, my iphone slipped out of my bag fell onto the cement sidewalk and has a long crack line from corner to corner.Damn it! the good news is it still works, but that line is looking miserable.I'll have to browse around and see what the solution for a DIY is to getting the glass replaced. I checked craigslist and most of the guys there want 150 bucks or even more to replace it. they said it was alot of work... I did find some you tube video on scrapping the glass off the front without actually taking the phone apart, so I'll look at maybe doing that... Got to price out ...

I've used the snow leopard for a week or so. it's pretty good. I still don't like safari that much. it never gets the images from the deals2buy.com website very well.. compared to firefox. sometimes safari just doesn't get all the images.. I'll give it another try when safari goes 64bit... :)

I don't really get the appeal but I remember growing up my youngest brother loved pokemon, and now my kids are liking the cartoon too. So we had to go and pillage all the goodies from my brother's room since he moved out of my mom's house and left most of his stuff there. :) He didn't mind.

I just read the review on the new 50d replacement - the 7d.I'm surprise it's a single digit model which you would think is higher end plus more full frame but it's still an APS-C size 18 megapixel still and it also does 1080p video... I might make this upgrade for the video part but maybe not.I couldn't imagine the zooming would be very smooth during video recording with most of my lens. :) unlike my Optura video camera which has a smooth powered zoom. Oh well. I'll have to ponder a bit more.Oh one other annoying issue is the battery. it's not the same as the other 30d, 40d, 20d, 10d, my G3, ...

Just finished installing(upgrading) my macbook Pro to 10.6. so far seems oK.My main concern was my networked laser printer. Which works yeay.I dusted off an old 500gb internal drive I had laying around, plugged it into my serial-ATA->USB adapter, ran carbon cloner all night last night and have duplicated my drive over to the backup. then an hour ago I had started the update. First issue, the stupid disc wouldn't read in my macbook. I proceeded in plugging in my usb drive I had picked up for my ASUS EEpc, that didn't work either, I was getting panic state... well more of an annoyance really, ...

I loaned out my 40d along with 6 lens, he kept the camera for 5 weeks, I get it back, and he ask me to download the photos for him. Guess how many photos he shot in 5 weeks?17!!!!! I was expecting thousands, i went to the closet to pick up a dvd to put it on. turns out i won't need that. maybe a 3inch cd. :) or a floppy.. :)All of his cute puppy. hahaI'm going to have to recommend he not waste money on an SLR! :)

My boss was thinking about getting an SLR.(a digital one) i just don't like the term dslr. :) so I packed my tamrac case full. I jammed in my 40d with vertical grip, a sigma 20mm, sigma 10-20mm, a canon 50mm f1/4, canon 70-200mm(f4) a lens baby to go with it. I didn't bother to lend him my external flash or the other lens I had lieing around since i might need to use my 30d at some point. hopefully he'll like it. I recommended a Rebel T1i to him because it would be his first camera. There is...

So sad. All us photographers are in grief today. Farrah was a babe and in my humble mind I shall aways remember her photo in the one piece swimwear. Her hard rock nipple creates a sexy empression on the fabric. Wow. anyways. I remember my friends and I would watch the Charlie's Angel marrathons when they have them. we'd order beer and pizza and have a fun time joking about the hairdos of the time. She shall be missed.

well I am glad the new Iphone prices is down to 100 bucks ( for the 3g) the 3g s is 200 bucks.Once my tmobile is done with the 2 year commitment I'll probably switch.Seems like everyone and their gramma has a damn iphone. oh well I got a macbook pro and a few ipods so why not.seems pretty cool, hell i might even write some apps for it. Nah...two uncool things about the iPhone.1.Battery ...

well another hoiday came and went, I am talkin about Mama's day. What did I do? hmmm. I internet ordered my mama some flowers. damn that was like 25 bucks. Now father's day will be upon us. gotta thing of something.

Was gettin' ready to change out the oil on my prius, and found some oil on sale at amazon.comhttp://www.amazon.com/Mobil-Synthetic-0W-40-Motor-Oil/dp/B000SKV4U2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1242961895&sr=8-2they also have free shipping too. This will be the first time I change the oil on this car. I don't even know what the oil type is. Gotta lift the hood up and get the correct weight. I'll do that when I get home.
