Things you might find interesting...

First off we have a moderately expensive, but possibly super useful Bread bag. That ones for Yimmy and TyTy. Personally if I made bread and had a little extra money I’d probably buy something like this. It’d be great cause I’d make sack jokes all the time. “Hey, I got a nice warm sack waiting for you back at my place.”

And second we have something for Jimothy that he’ll probably just curse at. Hopefully whenever the hell Nikon releases a D200 maybe you’ll find something helpful in there, or you can keep tabs to see if a comparable book comes out for your camera.

Also, I noticed a lot of weird things that I thought were working the last time I made modifications. I’m not sure why they all suddenly broke, but I’ll get around to fixing things eventually. I’ve been busy lately with things. It’s not ending soon, but maybe once the World Series is over I can push things through a little better. I hate work constipation.

It's gettin' real - the decline of film

Oy, well there Iaky-poo, looks you and I need to get ourselves some new cameras. Cuz if we don’t go digital soon, the film choices are just going to keep shrinking and shrinking. Kodak had announced that it was going to do some major downsizing and restructuring, and now it’s getting real.

More RSS and Cameras

RSS

So I stumbled upon two more pages about RSS.

The first is a whole section of CNET discussing the technology and a few programs to do the feed reading.

The second is just an article on Techdirt and on that one they talk about some new developments. Some people have done cool things involving screen scraping (where you read a web page and only pull out specific things) and you can do fun things like read comics, track FedEx packages, etc. I’ve been playing this weird web/text based game where you’re a vampire. It’s not very pretty like Doom 3 or anything, but it doesn’t require a lot of effort or time wasting. I was thinking about scraping my pertinent stats and feeding it up so I know when my movement points max out, etc.

Cameras

I wish it was news for Yimmy about the D200 but it is interesting camera news nonetheless for anyone curious about this type of stuff. The first medium format digital camera.

And while at Franni Alberti’s wedding on Saturday (now Franni Monk), watching Cout’s band play, I noticed that the two wedding photographers were using Nikon D1x’s. And supposedly are very popular (the other member was at a party some famous person was throwing) in the area because they jumped to digital while everyone was still testing it. I don’t remember the name of the studio sadly, but my mom might as the we had a relative of the owner sitting at our table and you know my mom and talking.

Nikon D2X

Sorry Yimmy, This isn’t exactly what you wanted, but maybe it’s foreshadowing… Either way it looks pretty nice of a camera, just’ll be in 5-6 thousand range…
