canon compact

An intriguing new large-sensor compact option from Canon. It weighs slightly more than a pound. I’d definitely take one if someone wanted to give me one, but at $800 it’s not going at the top of my shopping list!

seven months

I was roughly 7 months along as of yesterday. Only two months and a few days to go! I tried to buy an HP Touchpad yesterday. They were selling on eBay for $100 apiece. However, I couldn’t get through. I feel technologically incompetent. I’m sure there was something I could have done to improve my [...]

However, it’s easier to focus on stuff like cribs than the bigger more important issues, sometimes. At first I wanted to get a bassinet. At this point, [...]

kindle

I’m excited about the new Kindle devices. A few things always bothered me about the Kindle, and hence, despite being a pretty voracious reader, I never bought one: 1.) No library capability – I read a lot. Buying all my books would add up big time. Also, I wouldn’t buy one as a matter of [...]
