I am so happy with my new camera.

I almost went with the comperable Nikon, it felt better in my hand, but in the end, I went with the canon. Price was definitely a factor here, and since this camera was available at Amazon.com for less than $500 without a lens, I couldn’t pass it up. I already have a lens that would work and is better than the kit lens that would come with the camera anyway, so I just decided to get it.



The nikon was nice when I went to a bricks and mortar store to check them out, but it has a serious flaw. The auto-focus motor is in the lens on the Nikon, meaning if you want to buy a lens in the future, they will be more expensive. It’s also only 6 MP, which I know doesn’t mean all that much, but it is a difference. I’m also familiar and comfortable with Canon cameras.

apple tv still not available!

I'm still waiting for this to come out.

apple TV delayed!

Apple TV (which I plan on buying) has been delayed. Now the update time is listed as Mid-March, changed from February.

Come on Apple! I've got a $200 comp usa gift card burning a hole in my pocket! Let me buy some stuff!

You might wonder why I'm buying an untested $300 gadget from a very expensive DRM-laden company like apple.

1. I'm expecting the apple TV to have a very high WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)

2. I've wanted a myth TV or similar application to hook up to the TV/Sterio for a long time now (I even set up a myth tv once, but it failed the wife test)

3. As soon as it's hooked up, I plan on bumping my netflix subscription from 4 at a time to 2 at a time, and spending the leftover money on content from iTunes, saving me money.
