Pretty long post, so just skip to the parts that interest you (if any)
Some cool OSX apps
Time for some geek posts.
But before that, something totally out of topic: I was listening to the latest Stupid Church People podcast and would like to share something that was said about blindly accepting religion. It should be clarified though that the statement only applies to people who simply follow religion blindly – if you are confident about all aspects of your faith, then this probably doesn’t apply (though I dare say that it should, because no one should be so arrogant to assume that they are sure about something they couldn’t possibly fully understand). Anyways the gist of it was:
The trouble with religion is that it tries to kill the questions more than it tries to provide the answers.
Amen.
Now back to geekdom.
If you’re an apple user, if you do websites, if you know what’s good for you, get these apps now!
Details of past posts
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.

Ok 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
Before I leave…
We’re headed for Singapore this weekend. I’ll be back on Monday.
It’s a bummer I don’t have a camera with me since I plan to just do some sight seeing when I get there (because I focused on shopping the last time I went). But now that I don’t have anything to document it with, I guess I’ll just look for some cool stuff to buy.
