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.
iPhone 3G Best Apps
Jul 20th
So I have had my new iPhone for over a week now and I’m pretty happy with it. The biggest positive is the new app store. It is great to see how many excellent applications have been made and most are free.
Here are my favorite apps so far:
Remote – Apple’s iTunes remote that works over wifi, good for office pranks (slow volume adjustments).
OmniFocus – A great mobile version of Omnifocus that syncs with the desktop version and is location aware so you can GTD
Loopt – A location based friend tracker that is a bit creapy but could be the future
Facebook – A very good mobile facebook application, on par with their web based iPhone solution
AIM – Works well but will be perfect when Notification Services go live
Twinkle – A great twitter app with it’s own network of location based updates
VNC lite – What can I say not perfect but the only way I can control via GUI remote machines, it works!
Pandora – A music discovery service that pairs very will with the iPhone
UrbanSpoon – Find places to eat based on location, price, and review. The interface is fun too.
Google Maps Street View hits Cincinnati
Jun 17th
Google’s street view rovers must have captured Cincinnati when I wasn’t looking. I found my house and lucky for me I’m not outside.
