Kevin sent me this link to a Coldplay freebie. I’ve actually been listening to more Coldplay lately than ever before. It helps that it is on the same mp3 disc as the Beastie Boys and Breakbeat Era. I’m downloading it now so can’t say if i like it or not yet…
Rachel and Cena horsed around with their hair trying to make beards and moustaches on Sunday night.
My 6 year old digital camera didn’t make it home from San Francisco. It had been to Mexico a few times, all over the lower 48 and Alaska, and served well in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Bali. I loved the flash settings, the swivel LCD screen, and the durability. I found it a bit bulky and slow to start up and to take pictures though. I used it for short video clips as well – nothing worth submitting for professional Video Production Services but clips that would be good to remember some live action.
It would be interesting to have a good quality camera and shoot photos and video to then have professionally produced into a trip summary. I know that most computers come with video production software — and i have played around with some suites before.
I’m worried about the equipment being stolen though. There are considerable warnings online and in the guide books warning of solo travelers being mugged. Like the loss in San Francisco – losing the camera wouldn’t be as bad as losing the images. I’m torn between high quality and bulkier equipment versus more compact, lightweight and easier to conceal cameras. If i procrastinate too much longer i’ll have to buy the camera at a store instead of having the assortment to choose from online.
I’ll let you know what i decide.
The Consumerist used one of my photos from my roadtrip with Kevin across the country to illustrate a story about a Dell settlement. We found this at High Hill where the whole town seemed to be up for auction. I actually hoped that the Consumerist would use this photo when i took it. It means even more to me now that Consumer’s Union owns the Consumerist.
Yeti may be 10 years old but he can still learn a thing or two from much younger Ash. Ash sits in front of this heater all the time. Yeti just started.
For a good while now i have taken a series of images to later “stitch” together to make a larger panorama. I finally downloaded some trial software to see how things came out. Click on the image to go to a larger version.
