gadget lust got the better of me again. i am now much lighter in the wallet thanks to a Canon T2i with a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens. still getting the hang of it and can’t figure out if the crappy focus is user error or faulty lens. probably user error but i better figure it out before the exchange period is up…

it ain’t right
the more i read about Windows Phone 7 Series the more impressed i am. now to see if the reality lives up to the hype six months from now.
(ick, i feel kinda dirty praising a MS product)
a sign of the apocalypse?
i went out for dimsum with my parents this morning in the suburbs and saw something that made me throw up a little in my mouth. now normally i have a pretty good tolerance for disgusting things but this one was just to much. yet there it was sitting innocently out in the open on the somebody’s table…
a bejewelled iphone.
the top right corner and bottom left corner of the screen were adorned with about 10 little jewels in a triangle shape. you could see little bits of crusty face munge and old makeup stuck in the ridges. still gives me the shivers…
i wish i could have taken a picture of it but in retrospect its probably a good thing. i don’t want to ever think about it again.
screw you Rogers
your iphone plans suck!

(geez…i’m turning into quite the little activist these days…)
finally
after months of lusting (and whining and pleading with Steph), I finally took it upon myself to purchase an iphone. stoked. its fun. now knowing my luck a new version should be out next week.
unlocked it no problem with ziphone. well not really no problem. wasn’t able to get the IMEI change to work. need that so i can figure out the Rogers data plan thing. canada’s data plans for phones suck ball sack. let’s hurry up and get some competition up in this joint.
beyond means
i don’t know why i do it. we end up going to a lot of high-end fashion stores when shopping with the girlfriend and i always end up wandering into the guys section. i should really stop.
in seattle the other day, wandered into the new barney’s and of course fell in love with two different ridiculously out of reach pieces.
a dior homme jacket. kind of a car coat/military jacket in black of course. super nice fabric but more importantly a great cut and fit. $1295
a raf simons 3/4 length wool trench with some very unique very cool pocket openings. they were shaped kind of like amoeba, backed with a metallic lining. $1695
oh and i went to lay my grubby little paws upon an iphone. love it. want it. need it.
wii rocks
had a chance to spend several hours of Wii Sports this past weekend. verdict…hella fun. the graphics are nothing to write home about but just the mechanics of the gameplay were sooo fun. i’ve never been a big fan of game like Halo or other first person shooters so to play something like this was great. now i just need to round up some cash and track one down.
misty projects
oh yeah…i forgot to tell you about the volvo concept car that was hanging out at the open house at our sales meeting. a volvo that Liam Griffen teamed up with tuner Heico to create something a little funky. check it out here.
