I usually try to avoid the January sales but this year, I found myself accompanying my Mum to Selfridge’s as she had to exchange something she had bought there.

2008 was such an fun year to catalog. It was the year where musical events rumoured to occur for so long they had become jokes finally came to pass, like the return of My Bloody Valentine and Portishead, and the release of Chinese Democracy. It was the year Radiohead made their victory lap after being all but crowned the best band in the world.

When you see that snazzy new digital camera, gorgeous widescreen TV, or stylish jacket, it’s easy to just whip out your credit card and buy it. But if you do not have the discipline and ability to pay off your credit card bill in full each month—in other words, if you carry a balance—that item is going to cost you more than what it says on the price tag. Sometimes it will cost a lot more, and knowing what the true cost of a credit card purchase is might give you second thoughts about the purchaCanon DSLR Timeline Speculation
I’ve been asked a few times in the last couple of days when Canon might be releasing an update to one of their existing digital SLRs. Obviously, I’m no insider. More to the point, after talking publicly about my problems with the 1D Mark III and subsequently going dual system and loving it, Canon’s not likely to tell me bloody anything. That’s OK. We can look at the release record for Canon’s digital SLR product lines and do a bit of armchair speculation. (If you’re impatient, skip right to theGiiNii - Welcome to the Internet-Connected World
Pepcom’s Digital Experience is like a small, tame version of the full CES, and yet it’s still overwhelming. My strategy this year was to hone in on a couple of companies and see what I could learn. First stop: GiiNii. I targeted GiiNii because of the company’s new Wi-Fi photo frame. My experience with eStarling’s early wireless frame was ill-fated. It refused to work any farther than five feet from a router, the screen was smaall, and the troubleshooting process was less than satisfying. GiiScene from an as-yet-unrealized future.

During the Holidays I spent a little too much time having fun(drinking) with friends and family who were in town....so last week when there was a nice day I decided to get out into the fresh air. I went for a walk down the towpath and over to Indigo Lake, a place I've been coming since I was a kid. I always pictured Indigo as this peaceful place that the local Indians must have gathered, so it was ironic to learn that it was actually a gravel mine.....the miners hit a spring and the lake forThe Stumbleversary Bash

by Dan Feildman Because of digital cameras photography as we once knew it no longer exists. Based on a “no film theory,” digital cameras have created an entirely new era of photography. Digital photos are stored directly on a digital card, inside your camera, safe and ready to view/ store/print. Since the photos are stored in digital form nearly every computer and other electronic viewing and printing device can read them too. Digital cameras use a series of lenses that focus the light and creMy New Camera Will Open Your Eyes To My World.
