TO THOSE WHO CARE...

Unfortunately, Google Adsense has deleted my account due to my "endangering" Adsense's clients through "illegal and unwarranted" activity on my blog.

Shit happens. To be honest I expected this sooner... but I got what I wanted. ;)

Shortly put, I will not be placing ads on my site anymore. I will continue to support some of you in the days ahead, but don't expect a lot from me. Sorry!

If you're actually interested in what I've been posting, feel free to continue reading, but otherwise... don't waste your time on me anymore. Have a great day!

...AND RUN LIKE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..

Rondo Music

Hey, everyone! Just ran across a great site the other day and thought I would share it with some of you! If you're a musician (of any level) check, it out!

http://www.rondomusic.com/

This site has a LOT of pretty cheap, decent quality equipment and guitars. If you're into guitars for fun or professionally, give this site a go! I'm ordering my next guitar from Rondo... and I've heard from several friends that the guitars they sell are actually really well constructed and aren't cheapo pieces of shit like many other "warehouse" type music sites.

In the next few days I might show a few of the guitars I've been considering buying from Rondo.

Enjoy!

Dodgeball!!!

Well, I played in a local dodgball tournament yesterday... and my team won! Hahaha take that, other teams!!! Yes, it sounds like not a very big deal.. but it was fun and a great way to let off some steam to enjoy the weekend.

In fact, I enjoyed the game so much that I was forced to search through my movies folders and find Dodgball the movie and watch it!! A classic! Now I'm thinking that the other teams should have practiced with wrenches...

So have any of you ever played in a dodgball tourney?

D-Net Forums!

Alright, so I know someone who's starting a new forum and is looking for members, so I promised I would plug the site and try to help him find some people who want to swing by and just chat about...

...well, about everything and nothing, I suppose.

If you're a forum lurker and you're currently banned on 14 out of the 23 forums you frequent, and you're looking for someone to talk to, you might come by and check it out:

Have a good day! Next time I'll post about a vidya game or another piece of camera equipment which I may or may not eventually buy! :D Talk to you later!

Olympus E-620 Digital SLR Camera

(pic from GoogleProducts)

I know that everyone must be getting awfully tired of these continuing reviews of digital cameras... but I'm the type of person who has to make a fully informed decision before buying something that costs me a month's rent. I guess you'll all just have to deal with it! :P

This is the Olympus E-620 model digital camera, yet another brand that I've been taking a glance at while considering which kind of camera to buy. Here are a few of the important specs:

--Six in-camera art filters
--2.7" LCD screen
--12.3 Mexapixel live MOS sensor
--TruePic III+ processor

With a price of around $600, this doesn't look too bad as far as digital cameras go. I read a few reviews that call this Olympus's flagship camera model... so it must be fairly decent, yes?

Until next time...

Canon XSi Accessories!

After looking at the Canon XSi the other night, I decided to get a better idea of how much some accessories and extra lenses for this digital camera would cost. So here are a couple of lenses for the Canon XSi:

--Canon EFS 17x55 f/2.8 IS USM Standard Zoom Lense, approx $900

-- Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Lense, approx $280

--Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, approx $180

Those are in order of higher-end to lower-end in terms of quality and performance, as well as price. Now for a few specialty lenses:

--Canon EF 100mm f /2.8 USM, Macro Lense

--Canon EF-S 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 USM, Wide-Angle Lense

--Canon EF 85 mm f /1.8 USM, Portrait Lense

Well, I hope some of this info helped some of you who may (or may not) be looking into buying a digital camera like I am. Have a great day/evening!

Canon Digital Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera!

Well, sorry about not posting anything yesterday. I've been having wireless problems because a neighbor just set up their own wifi network... and it's interfering with mine. YARRRGH so I've had to do some tweaking and bullying to get our signals to get along with each other... and long story short, here I am!

Another camera I decided to take a look at (thanks to one of my followers; THANKS for the suggestion, Colin B!) is the Canon XSi Digital SLR Camera. Price for this model is around $700 new and maybe around $500-600 used. Here are some of the features of this interesting digital camera:

--12.2 Megapixels
--EF-S 18x55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens
--3-inch LCD display
--DIGIC III image processor
--EOS Integrated Cleaning System

Overall, it looks like a pretty awesome camera! It's so tough trying to shop around and choose the right digital camera (for amateur/beginning photography)... there are so many interesting brands and models to select from! Maybe soon I'll find the one. Until then...

...Stay thirsty, my friends. DOS EQUIS.
