Good news for Blogger Fans!
I have just created a digital camera/photography blog over at LiveJournal so you are not going to see a lot of digital camera stuff here! Well, you will see some, but not as many as before :-) So rejoice ;-)

Racism among the Gay *exposed* [Badlands is ...Bad!]
What people sitting on the outside looking in have known for years, now the whole world knows: Racism in the "Gay Areas" such as The Castro or WeHo. The "You are not white enough to be here" attitude is more prevelant than people are willing to admit and this event exposes it to the whole world. The "You are not white enough to be here" attitude in this case was justified by "You are a non-Badlands customer and should be discouraged from coming here". Nice going Les Natali!

Dual Disc
Greedy artists trying to sell both a CD and a DVD version of their new albums have come to a reasonable compromise: A Dual Disc! One side is a CD, the other side is a DVD with possible DVD video features and possible enhanced 5.1 sound and such. More details at 11pm or at dualdisc.com

Samsung Gone Wild!
Spotted by Mr Chang, showcased at a trade show in China:
Some of the crazy specs include a 15x (!) zoom lens (28-420mm EQ), 3.5" LCD (wow!)

And even more pictures at http://dcdv.zol.com.cn/2005/0424/166130.shtml

Winamp gone wild!
Winamp is now playing two songs at the same time!
Two separate panels each playing a song!
Winamp Gone WiLD!
(unless it's a ....feature)

Incomplete
Today I found out a handful of incomplete songs on my computer. These were downloads - aborted for whatever reason. They can be found in directories such as Windows/Incomplete or N*pster/Incomplete, or Temporary files/Incomplete.
(You guessed right: I am running out of things to write about)

Enough with the MILF spams already!
Why do I have to get multiple MILF spams everyday? Argggg!!!
For symmetry and balance, they should be sending me some DILF spams as well ;-)

Do you like Big Ones? How about 12?
Big image-stabilized lenses on consumer digital cameras that is ~_~
While they are quite common in camcorders, they are a lot more difficult to implement in digital cameras. This brand new one from Canon is gonna be HOT! It's 12X zoom ratio!

Windows fine-tuning tip!
One of the bloatwarez MSFT installs with some of its software (Exploder or MSN Messenger) is a process called "loadqm.exe". Technical people cannot agree on what exactly this bloatware is doing while running, but they also agree that your system speeds up when you remove it from your startup routine. For more details, simply Google "loadqm".

Self-checkout lanes!
I just noticed at one of the Albertsons stores they have Self-Checkout lanes! I didn't try them because... I was in a hurry, but I noticed that all the people using them seemed lost and confused *_*. And then Albertsons employees were going to them to hand-hold them during the ...Self-checkout process *_*

Money Saving Secret Revealed!
Ready to buy a Fixed Price book on eBay? Hold on!
A lot of the booksellers who sell books on eBay also list the same books on half.com.
They usually sell them at the same price on both eBay and half.com, but here's the money saving twist: Half.com forces everyone to charge a fixed $2.79 S&H on books. On eBay people can charge whatever they want for S&H, and it's not uncommon to see $5, $6 $7 or even more to ship a book with USPS Media Mail! So right there, you saved a few bucks per book ^_^
You can thank me later ;-)

Conversion Fantasies!
No it's not what you think... It's something entirely different...
Conversion Fantasies (of non-religious scientists to religion) seem to be a big thing among religious fanatics. The latest case in point? The new NBC mini-series "Revelation".
I wonder what they get as a bonus for such a prestigious conversion. Surely not just a toaster? ^_^

Music flashback!
Customary with blogs it is to mention what music you are currently listening to.
But instead of revealing the name of the CD that I am listening to, I will give you some hints:

Coming soon from Nikon!
The rumors were completely un-unfounded! That would make it founded ;-)
Two new entry-level DSLRs have been confirmed yet again officially from Nikon. Sometime this month. Watch out for details at dpreview and the other digicam websites.

The Big O !
No, it's not what you think. O refers to Overstock.com :-)
The new and improved Overstock.com! It has significantly improved since the last time I was on their site (which was probably 3-4 years ago). Now they actually offer useful items! They also offer auctions which are similar to eBay auctions but - you guessed it - with lower fees.
Their digital camera prices are quite reasonable. Not only that but you can also find some models that are not available at most of the tradtional internet and retail merchants. As always before purchase do your price comparissons and check if they are brand-new-in-box -vs- factory reconditioned/refurb.
