Please excuse the mess if you see some of the advertisement stuff here acting a bit

fruity. Kinda overhauling a few things over the next few hours. No, we're still not going

to do any of those silly popups or all that crap. Sorry.

Lastly, after having my camera break a few months ago I started looking at what there

is out on the market and it got really disturbing. I am just baffled that you can get a

compact camera that will also record 720p for just a couple hundred bucks. Damn that

market has moved quickly. Just a couple years ago it was several thousand dollars to

record in 720p. WTF. I got a Lumix TZ5 by the way. Much love for 10x optical zoom.
