A Sandwich Thief

Filed under: Whatever @ 6:47 pm

I’m super annoyed that after looking forward to it all afternoon, someone stole my sandwiches and drink. Maybe they thought the “Jack” written on all three items meant cheese (never heard of a Jack cheese drink though). What irks me to no end about it is that I left it in my own department’s conference room where one of my colleagues who I’m supposed to respect and vice versa got confused about two sandwiches and a drink in the corner and took them.

Who knows, maybe they were moved somewhere else. Maybe not.

This reminds me of the Friends episode where Ross gets sent to anger management because he went ape shit after someone stole his sandwich. :devil:

Backward or Forward?

Filed under: Whatever @ 8:41 pm

I’ve been feeling like I haven’t been taking enough pictures. At first I thought it was that I just wasn’t inspired. But I got to thinking it’s also probably because I just never have my camera with me now that it’s a minimum of 3.5 lbs. just for the D70 and a lens. That and I’m just lazy. So when Canon announced their new PowerShot G10, I got a little excited. 4 years ago I was so ready to get rid of the crappy “prosumer” point and shoot camera and move up to a full-on DSLR and here I am thinking about the G10. Blah blah blah and 3 weeks later I have my new toy.

PowerShot G10 Front
PowerShot G10 Top
PowerShot G10 Back

Check out those cool rangefinder-like controls! The feel is nice too with a leather/ette thingie on the hand grip. The start-up time was unexpectedly quick; a snappy surprise. Weight-wise, the G10 is a breeze to carry. Although not as high-res as the D90’s screen, the G10 does have a higher res screen than most other point-and-shoots. Lastly, a few notable improvements from my old G3 are the built-in lens cover and 28mm wide angle. Unfortunately, the lens is slower at f/2.8.

I’m still a little conflicted though since it really does lack a lot of things, say, a new D90 would have. We’ll see how much I actually miss a DSLR. The good news is that I sold two more images recently which easily covers the G10 … or a new lens. Weird if you think about it that way: a G10 equals a lens in cost. Haha.
