Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging!

As you can see, I’ve added posts to this blog before the Aug 21st date which I joined WordPress. This is why I like the ability to edit the time-stamping of a post. Keeps things in order and I can enter them as I like.





not another…

20 08 2006

Yup, yet another blog by another… ed.

Seems very much like iBlogs at first glance.

  • Has the “editable” date stamp.
  • Doesn’t have the scripting errors like iblog
  • More themes available.




Nikon’s new D-SLR…

9 08 2006

Nikon D80 After my much anticipated wait for the new Sony D-SLR A100, there’s the new Nikon D-SLR D80. I thought the Sony would be almost perfect. Well at least on “paper” it seemed. Here’s my inital thoughts about the Sony:

Likes:

  • image stabilization
  • sensor cleaner
  • large 2.5″ (standard these days)

Dislikes:

  • large 2.5″ LCD not up to Sony “standards” in clarity
  • not a good build (felt very much like the Konica Minolta 5D)
  • Sluggish or slow sounding 3fps shooting. (not crisp like Nikon and Canon’s low end)

It’s alittle more (the D80 to the Sony) but unfortunately it won’t arrive before my up coming trip to Italy. Seems almost like fate that Nikon sent two photographers to Italy to “try out” the camera. The PDF brochure even has the places I’ll be going.





it’s been a year…

4 08 2006

Today marks the first anniversary of my hernia surgery. So far, so good. Especially after watching a The Learning Channel program about surgical tools being left behind inside after a surgery last night.





another flat…

3 08 2006

First flat with new set of tires and 10 months since my last, though it’s the SAME right rear tire. Not that changing tires is fun but doing it 80+ heat with no shade is worst.
