Xacti 1000HD… my new gadget!

nuffGigs — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:47:21 +0000

I just got this for all the video I plan on taking (getting married and got twins on the way).

I’m not a big fan of huge complex electronics so this Sanyo Xacti is the perfect size. The Sony HDR-TG1 is smaller but cost about $300 bucks more. The Xacti also has more options like adding external flash or mic. The lens on the Sanyo are bigger so more light is captured. I’m sure this helps out big time in darker places.

Takes about 3hrs to charge so I’ll post more later on the performance. Here are some test videos I found online:

Interactive Free-Space Display For Computers/DVDs/Etc.

“That’s right this company made a display that use’s thin air as a background and is interactive with your finger or hand. Watch the video. This is unreal and these guys are going to be millionaires if they aren’t already.”

This is amazing! I want to know how this thing is displaying images in mid air. The only downside to technologies like this are the way big companies will abuse it. If this thing gets popular I’ll bet it will show up in the bathroom of some popular bar or mall displaying ads non stop. Digg post

Selling my iPaq

After a couple years of good service its time for me to sell my iPaq 3765. I collected a bunch of add-ons over the years so this will be a package deal.

I might get another PDA someday but nothing like this. Probably a smart phone like the Treo 650. Its kinda big for a cell phone but when you consider all the added PDA features it more then makes up for it. The data service cost for my cell phone is sick though. Probably the biggest reason why I don’t have a Treo yet.

I took the pics and video using my Canon SD400. No it’s not for sale. I was pretty surprised at pics I took. Awhile back I remember talking to a photographer who told me about some high end expensive digicam that takes great product shots. I know my ultraslim SD400 isn’t professional equipment but it does a pretty good job for much less. But then again if I’m selling diamonds or something I’d rather use a much better camera too.
