I Am A Gadget Whore

I Am A Gadget Whore

It's true. I love gadgets. But not just for gadgets sake. They do have to be useful...sure they do.

I have owned four iPods - two I still have, a 4th Generation click wheel and a Shuffle, 20+ mac computers, Handspring Visors, various stereos, 8 track players, speakers, DVD players, an Escort radar detector, etc. You get the idea.

I am getting a NEW gadget! I decided to get this little guy on my latest backpacking trip. I sorely wanted to take pictures but was not about to lug around the digital camera that we have - an Olympus C-4000 Zoom. It tales great pictures and we love it BUT it is cumbersome. So I did some research and some price checking and found a reasonable, small, and high quality camera. It's the Canon Powershot S410. I ordered it yesterday and hopefully it will be here next week.

Small Aside - You know how when you order from Amazon they try and extort shipping charges by saying that if you use the Super Saver Shipping they will try and ship it in the next three weeks - bastards.

I've never succumbed to the extortion and have always had the items shipped two weeks earlier than they threaten to. No matter what, it, the spare battery, and a larger memory card will be here in the next few weeks...yeah!

I'll get pictures posted as soon as I figure out how to use the camera. My idea is that it will be small enough and easy enough to use that I will be more apt to photograph stuff.

Oh, we have a new printer too (I told you I was a gadget whore), a Canon PIXMA iP3000 it will work seamlessly with the new camera. The little booger prints GREAT pictures.

Stay tuned for updates and PICTURES!
