Lions and Computers and Cameras, Oh My
I took my computer in to Yow today. For some reason the CD player wasn’t working (which is actually a BluRay DVD player). Wouldn’t read or autostart any disks I put in there; I figured somehow the connection had come loose. Upon inspection, he told me he thought that the driver was missing… don’t know how that would happen.
Anyway, he did not have it ready for me to pick up tonight, so I’ve gotta use my laptop for my usual computer addiction. WoTF can sit at home without a computer all night?!?
Yesterday I had to take my little Fuji point and click back. For some reason it wasn’t turning on at all. I thought that the battery was dead, so I charged it but still nothing – that is until I got to the store to return it, there it turned on just fine. However, I wasn’t trusting the camera after that, so I traded it for another one.
I got the Canon SD100 IS (in pink to match my laptop and laptop mouse). Nothing looks better on your desk than a laptop and mouse that match, while your matching little camera is charging there.
This is the camera that has Avril Lavigne doing the commercials. I only got it cuz it was on sale for about $179 (instead of $220). It’s only 10mpx, but I figure I won’t see too much difference between a 10 and a 12 since I’m not printing out any gigantic posters. My DSLR is 14.2 megapixels. I’ll have to compare the quality now, won’t I?
So far I’m liking the little camera. It has a viewfinder, which I like for sunny days when you can’t really see the LCD screen on them too well. Also has live view, and not only live view for focusing, but the thing starts focusing itself when you point it towards something. Makes for a noisy camera, but so far I’m liking it.
If the weather would stay nice, I just might go out on the weekend and take some shots. God knows I’m sick of taking pictures around the house.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
I admit, I’m a bit jealous reading your post. I’ve been going through camera envy, everyone I know is getting a new camera. Unfortunately, the one I want, is way out of my price range
I know what you mean about the weather. Wish it was better too!! Have fun taking pictures around the house, looks like it’s going to be cold again.
