Don’t mind this entry. This is a test entry for this new plugin#[1] I’m using.
[1]: The plugin is called Bö
I’m also trying to hack it while testing… make it a bit more similar to how Daringfireball‘s footnotes behave… and of course provide some CSS tags to skin it.
Had a very pleasant week more or less. To sum up, the various pleasantries that have transpired are.
Had some fun
Just finished listening to the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince audiobook. The narrator was really good! I actually found myself laughing out loud at some of the mundane humor inserted throughout the book, which I knew wouldn’t be that funny if simply read and “imagined.” Amazing how far delivery can contribute in the immersion of literature.
Anyways, I’ve got nothing better to do this morning so I thought I’d like to talk about the book of course that is to say that:
You have been warned, so unless you’ve finished book, don’t continue.
I’m just testing out the new Lumix, and I don’t know if it’s because I’m just used to my 20D, but the pics are too noisy for my taste. I have to try to borrow other point and shoot cameras to double check if it simply is an issue of point-and-shoots in general. In any case, it doesn’t matter since it ain’t mine.
Since my 20D isn’t back yet, I thought I should just use the new cam for my new stuff. The canalphones really needed live pictures because it’s so hard to describe in text my particular concerns without sounding too complicated – so I thought it would be better to have pictures for the benefit of the people who actually are interested in whatever the hell I put in my blog.

Read MoreOk remember when I was rationalizing how getting the EM3s was enough to not get the upper class headphones (e.g. e5c, UE10 pro, ER4P/S)? Well I friggin’ caved! As of tomorrow morning I’m going back to the Norman Audio showroom, to get a pair of Etymotic Research ER4Ps.
These are one of the many “upper class” canalphones I rationalized to be too expensive to invest in (but never did I question their quality), hence settling for the kick-ass FutureSonics EM3s
This has a backstory to it, which of course is a further rationalization of how weak I am when it comes to technolust hahaha. Surprisingly though my mom didn’t question my decision at all… maybe it was because she just bought a digicam for herself without actually knowing what the hell she wanted. We chose for her, and I must say it was a nice Panasonic Lumix (Leica lens) bargain. Anyways, I digress. Read More
