New Toy Time!
Mar 1st 2007
Considering I'm going on the trip to washington DC in a few weeks and I've been working up the courage to purchase a
digital camera for myself because of the crappyness of my Treo 650's built in camera…I treated myself to a new toy tonight.
Well, it wasn't entirely my doing alone. One of my friends helped with the rationalizing procedure. Anyway…yeah…I'm the proud owner of a new Canon SD600 digital camera. This thing is so awesomely tiny. The picture quality rocks as well. I'm still getting used to it, but I took a few shots after the battery charged up just to play around a little bit. Yes, I know my TV is really dusty.
This also gave me a chance to try out iPhoto on my MacBook Pro which worked really, really well. I'm impressed so far, but no time for me to gush totally right now. I leave you with a few pictures that I took tonight when I was playing around.

Willpower and Me
Aug 19th 2006
I have no willpower. Ask my friends. They’ll tell you about how I can rationalize anything. How I went from going to buy a MacBook Pro in “a few months” on Monday to being in the Apple Store on Saturday, $2000 poorer. My soft spot is mice or input devices. If it’s cool, I MUST have one. That’s the reason I just got a MX1000 to replace a perfectly good Logitech G7.
I have no willpower. I know when I start rationalizing things, and I know that I shouldn’t be buying some of the stuff I do. But I do it anyway. No idea why.
So the latest object of my desire is a digital camera. The Vox Hunt kinda pushed along my buying process a bit. I want a real camera, as I’m getting tired of having to take pictures with my phone. My phone could have a worse camera, I know…but it’s not really that good either. The reason I mention this is I went out this afternoon to the store to buy some breakfast cereal and almost came home with a digital camera. I say almost because good sense kicked in just at the last moment.
I figured it might be a good idea to do some research first instead of just grabbing one that looked nice. Also, I still owe my parents money from when they helped me pay for my car transmission breaking apart. So anyway, I’m looking around for a digital camera in the $100 to $150 on a digital camera. Nothing fancy, mind you…just something that’ll take pictures that look good. Working on OS X is a plus, although I guess they would all kinda work. I guess I’ll look around some.
But if I write in this blog that I bought a digital camera in the next week or so, somebody smack me please.
