Wednesday, September 19th, 2007My parents got me a pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones for my birthday.
Previously I was using Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones. They were great for noise cancellation, but the bass was a bit overpowering. I sold them when I was saving for a new camera.
These new Sony headphones rock! I’m going back and listening to [...]
Cameras
Thursday, May 31st, 2007I’m still saving like a banshee for a new camera.
Here’s what I have lens wise:
* Canon 50mm f/1.4
* Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS
* Canon 18-55 EF-S
I’m having the darnedest time deciding between a Canon EOS 30d and a EOS 5d. I still shoot film occasionally and want to get into wide angle stuff. [...]
mmm fibers
Thursday, May 31st, 2007We’re upgrading our T1 line at work. Going to go with 10mbps fiber connection!
I’m excited. It will open up a whole new world of possibilities for the company.
Digital Rebel Returned From Service
Monday, April 9th, 2007Well, I got my 300d back from Best Buy (geeksquad) warranty service.
As I thought, “Cleaned and Inspected. Working.” is what they came back with.
Now I have to go nuts taking pictures, to see if it will happen again. I was hoping it was dead, so I could get a new body before the warranty expires. [...]
Canon Digital Rebel
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007My Canon 300D (Digital Rebel) is finally crapping out after almost 20,000 images written. I bought it in October 2003. Luckily I found the Best Buy warranty on it. It’s been giving me an “Error 99″. According to Canon this is “an error other than all other documented errors”. I did some research only to [...]
If I was rich….
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007I was just day dreaming about things I’d love to have for my photography hobby..
I build an Amazon list: Amazon.com: "My Dream Photography Setup"
Anyways.. of course none of that stuff is realistically obtainable.. We’re takling like $23,000 worth of stuff. But if I was rich, or some rich person really really loved me, it would [...]
Roadrunner Premium
Thursday, January 25th, 2007So I signed up for a six month trial of RoadRunner Premium service. It’s on special right now for $50.00 a month for the first six months. It goes up to $69.99/mo after that. I’m sure I’ll cancel it when it goes up. It’s supposed to be 8 Mbps down 512 Kbps up. I’m only [...]
Ham Radio, Will I pick it up again?
Thursday, January 25th, 2007Looks like theres no morse requirement anymore starting next month for upgraded licenses. In the past learning Morse was lazily keeping me from upgrading my license. Now that I don’t have to worry about it, maybe ill upgrade and pick the hobby back up.
ARRLWeb: It’s Official! Morse Code Requirement Ends Friday, February 23

Apple?
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007So I spend about 95% of my time on the computer in Linux, mostly Gentoo, some Slackware, some Archlinux.
I’ve recently been looking at Macs. I wonder if maybe they’d be the perfect medium for me, mainly I’d love to use Aperture for the managing of my library of photos (12440 photos, 27gigs). About 1/4th [...]
Bluetooth and Cellphones
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006I recently got a Plantronics 510 bluetooth headset. Currently I’m using a Motorola 6100 cellphone which has no bluetooth capabilities. I went back to my old Sony Ericsson T610, which is about 4 years old now, has its share of problems, but does include bluetooth. Since I’m going to be using bluetooth now, I found [...]
