Amaze Your Mates, Annoy Your Girlfriend.

There's a thing about gadgets. Without meaning to be overly sexist certain gadgets will likely appeal more to guys than girls. There's a device over at Andy Huntington MA Interaction Design RCA called Beatbox. This is the sort of thing I could have hours of fun with. I suspect that N would very quickly ask me to stop.

At around 9 this morning a very friendly DHL man knocked at my door and delivered my new Nikon D70 DSLR.
I am happy.

What Type of Killer Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

It seems this is me.

You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You are not really the stereotypical hero, but you do fight for good. Just in your own way. For you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil person, if it is for justice and peace. You also don't belive in mourning all the time and think that once you've hit a bad stage in life you just have to get up again. It's pointless to concentrate on emotional pain and better to just get on with everything. You also are a down to earth type of person and think before you act. Impulsive people may annoy you somewhat.

I Love The Sound Of Breaking Arms

Is that the sound of popping ligaments?

Very early this morning I ordered a D70.

I really should not be allowed access to credit cards after midnight.

Kahoona7 just bought himself a Nikon D70 and though I hate to admit it I am jealous. I shouldn't be because it's not like I use the cameras I own let alone have any justifiable reason to want another. But I have to say this is a beautiful piece of hardware. It feels good just to hold it. It makes you think
'If I had one of these bad boys I'd take pictures all the time!'
That was my thinking on the last two cameras I bought and it turned out not to be true for either of them. Some day I'll get a proper digital SLR and not use it. Just not today. It doesn't help me that N is so damned good about these things either. She never says
'Why do you need one?'
She always says
' If you want one, why don't you get one? I can give you some money towards it for your birthday.'
At £600 I'll skip it for now. But I'll have to be strong, my arms are weak and twist easily.
