official: d700 is d3’s smaller brother
July 1, 2008
It’s real. The mid-range DSLR you’ve been waiting for: Nikon’s D700 DSLR packs the D3’s supernaturally low-noise 12.1-megapixel full-frame image sensor into a smaller, lighter body, for only $2999.

*drool* I am now opening up a separate savings account to portion away money for this. I just need 2999 CAD more to go.
On a separate note, I’d like to give birthday greetings to:
- Canada
- Charmaine
- Joy
zomg, full frame nikon d700?
June 18, 2008
Word on the street is that there is a new Nikon ready to hit the streets.
The rumor mill has been pumping out whispers of a mid-range full frame DSLR to rival the more affordable Canon 5D (the 5D runs at around 2200 CAD vs. Nikon’s D3 at 5000+ CAD). Here’s hoping. (=
More on that rumored mid-range full-frame DSLR from Nikon, and this looks a lot realer, with some decently convincing promo materials for the D700. Specs include a full-frame 12.1MP CMOS sensor (same as the D3’s), and a 51-point AF system, also the same as the D3. ISO range is 200-6400, or 100-25600 extended. So, uh, what differentiates it from the D3 other than the apparently small body and hopefully smaller price? Beats us for now, but we’re hyped

announcement: free rock band song download
March 31, 2008
Rock Band unites everyone. It’s a clear fact. Deedee makes mention of it.
On top of my Draft stack, I have a post called Rock Band: A Social Commentary, in which I will dive deep into its impacts on socialization and society. It’s actual quite interesting with graphs and charts and quotes and the like. Stay tuned.
Anyways, here’s an announcement for everyone with Rock Band. Free song download! Still Alive from VALVe’s sleeper hit Portal will be available for download tomorrow (April 1st) for free. Yes, free. This is hopefully no April Fool’s joke. Sorry PS3 owners, you won’t be getting it until the 17th of April. Fire up your XBL and download this track and play Portal if you have the time. It’s a great game.

google, what can’t they do
March 12, 2008
When they hear the telltale sirens of a fire truck bursting out of the station in Nanaimo, the locals don’t need to look out of the window or tune in to newscasts to find out where the action is. Instead, they can simply log on to Google Maps or Google Earth and track the firefighters in real time as they tear down the streets of this Vancouver Island port community. The Google-enabling of Nanaimo’s fire service, launched just weeks ago, is the latest venture in a British Columbia town that has been dubbed the capital of Google Earth.
