Canon 5D Mark II
Sep 17th
Canon is releasing it’s much anticipated new camera next month. The details have arrived. It is the first DSLR to shoot video at 1080p. That is just the tip of the iceberg. The 22 Megapixel camera is loaded with new features like Live View Shooting, Peripheral Illumination Correction, Silent Shooting in Live View, and Face Live Detection. I’m throwing this on my wishlist and preparing my 20D for ebay.
Canon 5D Mark II Officially Awesome: 21MP DSLR First to Shoot Full HD Video
Rovio

Rovio is an awesome new robot. It is a wireless, self charging, webcam robot that is location aware. It can be controlled via a cell phone or a web browser. I can’t wait to see this thing in person. It looks pretty slick.
Spore™
Sep 8th
Spore™ is finally out. I purchased the game yesterday and played it for several hours. It is awesome. You start off as a little microscopic creature floating around eating. You gain DNA points to get bigger, smarter and add parts. Eventually you evolve out of the water and on to the land. You become allies with other creatures or wipe them off the globe. I am only a few hours in but I know eventually I will be in outer-space taking over other planets. It is a lot like every sims game crammed together into an evolutionary masterpiece. Check it out.
