I voted at 7AM. It probably doesn’t need to be said, but today is a historic election. Make sure you vote.

Following up on my previous post about the Canon 5D Mark II, here’s a short entitled “Reverie” filmed entirely with the camera’s HD video capability. Remarkable really. (via Daring Fireball)
Canon officially announced the Canon 5D Mark II. It’s a 21-megapixel powerhouse that is the first DSLR to shoot full HD video. Purely mentioning this in case anyone isn’t sure what to get me for Christmas this year.

I took the wife to see John Mayer at the Borgata in Atlantic City last night. While I did go into it hesitantly, I will admit it was a great show (Our great position in front of the stage didn’t hurt either). He’s a tremendous guitar player and when you take his studio albums combined with his live performances he reminds you very much of a modern day Clapton.
I’ve been pretty lax in posts around here lately due to wrapping up end of year projects at work, the holidays, and an end of the year vacation. But now the new year is upon us and it’s time to get the train a movin’ again.
Christmas vacation was a blast for several reasons. The first being it was vacation time for me and family. I pretty much disconnected myself from the outside (internet) world. I got several house projects done that the wife and I have been talking about doing over the past year. And it was pretty much a “Nintendo” christmas since Santa left a Wii for the family under the tree. And the wife and I bestowed the kids each with their own Nintendo DS for Christmas (now Daddy has someone to play with :)
But the biggest surprise for me was the gift from the wife. She blessed me with a new Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Which was a surprise indeed. Apparently it was between that and new sneakers. She choose wisely. The new XTi will serve as the replacement for my current Gen1 Digital Rebel. But it’s also sparking and a renewed interest in sharpening my photography skills. So if I had to make a personal resolution for the new year, that would be it. Sharpening my photography skills. That in addition to the standard resolutions of save money, loose weight, backup my data, etc.
So be prepared for more photographic goodness in the coming year.
Just got a new Canon Powershot SD1000 as my take everywhere camera. I love my Digital Rebel, but it can turn into a real hassle taking it certain places. As someone who likes to have camera with me at all times, I wanted something that was small enough to fit in my pocket (literally) and take decent quality to photos. I have to say I’ve been fairly impressed with not only quality of the photos, but the plethora of features this little camera packs.
