It's hard for SD1 to succeed when it's more expensive than Canon and Nikon's top offerings (save for 1Ds Mk III) on top of the fact its features/peripheral functions are inferior to its intended competition.

They're probably not considering it material defect or workmanship issue. Either that or $50 is for cleaning the earpieces.

How is/was it? The numerous ramen places are one of few things I miss about Japan. I really should try out the ones in Boston, but I hate driving into Boston.

Went over to his site and didn't like his pics at all.

Yeah, my hiking/trail walking time has gone down drastically in the last few years, so my boots last a lot longer now.

The last can of Mello Yello. Now that my nostalgia for it has been satisfied, I can go back to drinking diet Mountain Dew.

Spent most of the day cleaning and getting ready for our daughter's 1st birthday party tomorrow. Now getting really annoyed with my PS3 for the fact that it cannot randomizing photos while playing a slideshow, and somewhere along the line, they took away the ability to play music while having the photo slideshow.

Damn, Reks, that is a nice price for those boots, hope they work well for you. I've luckily found a particular model from L.L. Bean that fits me really well and have been wearing them for the past 15 years or so. Actually, they recently replaced my original pair for free under their lifetime satisfaction guarantee.

Supposedly, the street price will be ~$6900. A lot less than the msrp, but still more expensive than just about all of its competition.

Apples and oranges. The Hasselblad has a medium-format sensor.

Couple of toys and some wrapping paper for Libby's first birthday this weekend.

I keep forgetting Blade is part of the Marvel Universe.

Think Tank Sling-O-Matic 30. I'm hoping it works well enough that I can get rid of 6MDH.

Congrats to your daughter, Al!

Happy Birthday!

Mello Yello. They're now available at local grocery stores.

That's usually what I end up doing - why mess with something that you know is going to be comfortable.

x2. I have my iMac serving as a de fact network storage, but it's far from optimal On topic, I bought few garden/yard items including new sprayer and couple of those quick-release thingies for my hoses. Of course, I got home only to find that my main hose is busted so now I need to get a new hose as well.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I just got out the shower clean and dry after spending the last 3 hours pressure washing our house. It took longer than expected since the pressure washer was leaking like a sieve at the handle/trigger, thus much less resulting pressure. Lesson of the day - even if the outside temperature is in low 70s, the faucet water is still really cold at this time of the year.

That sucks, Mike. I've basically given up on mine with my ear issues along with some fit issues, which I'm guessing came from change in my body weight since they fit fine after sending them back for a refit.

I'd agree at least for P&S cameras, but I'd hope folks who are dropping decent chunks of money isn't making decision solely on pixel count.

Coffee. It's been a while sine I've had a coffee on a weekend.
