I think I’ll be changing to a new mobile phone service provider in the winter when number portability goes into effect. This being the case, I’m really starting to swing towards the super sexy Danger Hiptop (Sidekick) just because it’s the only device that seems to integrate my main forms of communication (phone, e-mail, web, and AIM) into one nice device. The only thing I can think that it needs is bluetooth with full iSync compatibility. Still, it’s all up in the air and I don’t know enough people who have one. Has anyone out there had some experience with it and can give feedback?

Hmm. And now it’s completely stopped.

Isn’t this strange. We had 100 degree weather just a couple of day ago. It’s not raining outside. It’s pouring. I mean within a matter of minutes, our parking lot went from dry to deep puddles. Very strange indeed. I’m wearing my typical shorts and sandals too. Hmm. Strange.

Although this is not the vision I have for a future Camaro, good to know that our future automobile designers have not forgotten it. It was created by a 19 year old and although I’m not a fan of retro design, there’s something about it that I just like. Can’t put my finger on it though.

Hmm. Turns out I’m not going to update as much as I thought I was. Time’s going by quick and I’m getting a lot done. Just sitting down for a quick lunch right now.

So it looks like I’m going to be working all weekend to update our imaging libraries. Always fun stuff. That means look for a good amount of post here. All this does is take away from spending quality time with myself and SWG. Damn you imaging libraries! Damn you all to hell!

If you keep up on this kind of stuff, this is old news. The Nikon D2H, a new pro D-SLR camera, was announced at the beginning of the week. Our photographers and myself have been drooling over this thing. 8 frames per second?! That’s getting into ridiculous F5 territory now! Yeah, it’s only 4MP but I’m expecting these images to be sharper than the ones coming from their big dog D1X because of its CMOS-like sensor (which actually surprised the hell out of me). Go here to check out a preview of it.

I found official pictures this morning of the up and coming BMW 6-series. Coupe. Traditional front-engine rear-wheel drive layout. 2+2 seating. V-8 making 325hp. This is everything I want in a car. I love this car. I need this car. I will not own this car. See more pictures here.
