A New Tech-Toy for Me?

Well, it's really a tech-toy, but not for me. My wife had to started a hobby of taking pictures of the kids. You see, we have a park near by and it's a very nice place to be taking pictures. So we've finally decided to get a better camera. Not that our previous camera was not a good one. In fact it hasn't been 2 years since we got it; and it's a decent 8 megapixel waterproof Optio.
But I guess it's time for a DLSR, and so I've decided to get us the new Canon EOS 1000D. It's not a top of the range DLSR, but off course we need something to begin with. For starters, it is a newer entry-level DLSR; and I've read good reviews about it. At first, I was thinking about getting the 450D. But my wife would have to use it more often while at home, so we got the lighter 1000D.
Here is a run down of some of the specifications that this new baby boast: 10.1 Mega pixels CMOS sensor, 3888 x 2592 image size, Auto ISO adjust, Auto lighting optimizer, and with Live view. Of course, there are more technical things that can be discussed about it; but their really just the boring bits.

All I can add is that this baby packs a hell lot more image quality than our old Pentax. And off course it is a DLSR, so the challenge is be creative with your shots. It's something that I've wanted to try for quite a long time. But for now, I leave the playing around with this new tech-toy to my baby.

Here are the first pictures that we've taken with our new tech-toy:

Sounds Great

I am a believer of technology, and how it can improve our lives. I've always been facinated by the improvements that have occured in computers lately. I am amazed by the fact that you can pretty much do anything in computers. Somethings that you could only do in studios or a sound recorder is now possible in a computer. Software is now available that will give you great sounds that can be recorded from pretty much any source.

Imagine the possibilities of being able to mix you own music for a train ride, or even compose your own tracks to entertain others. There is an endless stream of things that can be managed in software now a days. Even video editing is possible in software.

Touch My iBody

Nowadays am just having a struggle deciding between 2 things. I Am just thinking of getting myself the new iPhone 3G; but I just realized that for me to get one, I have to sign up for a new 24 month plan with my carrier or any of the carriers offering the iPhone here in Australia. The reason for the hesitation is the fact that I just signed up for a 24 month contract 3 months ago, and it will cause me heaps to terminate that contract.
The reason for my hesitation is because I just bought a new iPod as well. So you see, I already a fairly new phone, and a decent one at that. And I also have a new iPod to booth. An iPhone will replace both in some respect. My struggle is with my desire to get into the iTouch thing. I tried out a friend's iPod Touch, and it was very cool. Having the capability to connect to the Internet via Wifi makes it a nice mini-computer. Plus, Apple technology is not perfect but cool nonetheless.
An iPhone or an iPod touch that is the question now. I can probably set aside my current iPod and keep it as a gift for one of my brothers this Christmas, so an iPod Touch would be a nice thing to have. But then again, I could also set aside my new Phone and give it to my mom this Christmas. Then an iPhone is within reach, but what to do with the contract?

Cellphone Worries

With the wide use of the cellphone nowadays, it's always interesting to note the hazards that may come with using it. I've picked up a few bits from news recently, but everything is really up for debate.

Here is my listing of cellphone worries:

Brain Cancer - I've been hearing this quite often and it's actually being researched. I think they've already proven that it could increase the risks of having brain cancer.

Exploding batteries - This is the same as batteries catching fire. Nokia was recently one of the mobile phone companies to have done a recall of batteries because of possibility of exploding or catching fire. There was one case though in the Philippines where one user's N73 nearly burned her house down.

Driving while texting - This is the same as driving while talking on the mobile. They say it's been linked to so many accidents. Don't know about this. I don't actual drive anyways. But I do text while watching TV, or talk on the phone while riding on the train.

Holdup / Robberies / Murders - It seems that the cellphone doesn't only attract the attention of onlookers when you're talking on the handsfree. It also attracts the attention of thieves. Many crimes in the Philippines (particularly, holdups and robberies) have been because of cellphone flaashing owners.

Well, there you have it. These are just some of the cellphone worries that I know. But some people might add to this list a dozen more like dropping the phone, getting smudged, getting wet, or getting scratched. Some people just threat their mobile phones like jewelry nowadays. But, hey who wouldn't if you pay top dollar for it.

Anyways, that's all for now. Be safe with those things, and be responsible cellphone users.

I want my Bluetooth

For the past couple of weeks now, I've been in constant hunt for an ideal headset to match my Nokia Express Music phone. I was unlucky enough to buy one without a good headset to come with it. Anyways, since my phone has Bluetooth capability, I wanted something new to try on. I wanted to get a Bluetooth headset this time.
Why not Bluetooth? It's cool and hip; but it's very practical in a sense for me. I'm a guy, who is always on the go. Needing to walk to the train station everyday, and taking a 20-30 minute train to and from work. And plus, the fact that I don't get along very with wires running around my neck to my ears.
Well, right now am in a bit of a strife between a few things:

A Plantronics Pulsar 590A

a Sony DRBT21G Street-style headphone

a Sony DRBT22B lightweight headphone

a Nokia BH-604

or a Nokia BH-503, which matches my express music phone.

All of them seem to be great products, but am eyeing the Plantronics one. I have a officemate, who uses one and it looks cool. That's what prompted me to this hunt anyways.

LCD Screen Televisions

26 inches LCD screen television- LG brand



Did I mentioned I have the passion in collecting or I mean buying what is the latest in technology like new latest brands and style of appliances? From DVD players, television and laptop computers, cell phones and many more I always make a goal to buy which are the coolest.
I bought 14 inches LCD screen television for our living room temporarily. We don't have any entertainment appliances at first. There is a feeling of emptiness if your home doesn't have TV; you can't watch news and kids shows for the children. But a small television is not enough for me. If will play games with my laptop and then connect to the TV to have a big screen it's not fulfilling.
So I decided to buy another bigger LCD screen TV. The LG brand and it's really cool. My goal is to buy 31 inches but I think that's too huge for my house and it's hard to carry. I end up with 26 inches which is not bad. I'm happy with the outcome when I play games and watch any shows.

our first 14 inches LCD screen AWA TV




A big difference with the resolution right? But, we still keep the small one for our room. It's still worthy for me.
