Well, I have been playing around with my new toy a little and the results are in my Flickr Photostream. I hope someone enjoy's them.

UPS restored my faith in europewide package transport ...

Well, my camera arrived this morning. The first couple test shots were actually very good (Example 1 and Example 2). I give it easily 5 stars! More to come soon.

RepRap Challenge 1 cancelled because of lazyness

I really do not know what is wrong with me. I think the whole December and Christmas and winter does not suit me. My productivity is so low that I'm ashamed of it. Anyhow, I did order myself a Christmas present yesterday early morning. I've been looking for semi-decent dslr cameras for ages and then I saw Vincent Laforet's Reverie. I'm not that rich but HD video creating possibilities attract me so I went for the budget option this time. Before I get lot's of comments on how stupid I have been I'll warn you that I'm not looking for something professional.



Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS has been praised by the online community for being the cheap option for a semi-decent camera and HD video creating device. Sure, it has trouble with video quality in low light conditions but never mind that. I thought it would be good to take some holiday pictures and maybe even create a HD videolog of some sort.

I really hope they will deliver it before Christmas so this magical time will be also recorded and saved for later use. And then maybe with a little christmas miracle i'll finaly start the challenge 1. Only time will tell.

RepRap challenge 1

Well, i decided to be the snob from the city and buy the kits so i thought it would be fast and easy. WRONG! Funny how people do something until it excites them and then leave it standing around for some time.

So I did put the frame together and started on the electronics but this was like a month ago and since then nothing has happened. So I decided I'll force myself doing something this weekend ... I keep my fingers crossed and hope that the main stuff gets done. Then I should clean up the table and take some pictures too ... proud moments:)

Shame on me!

Well, I have to admit one of my recent guilty pleasures: 2 of the recent Britney songs are kinda good. One of them is the brand new single "Womanizer" and the other one is the bit older single "Piece of me". Oh and she looks much better as a brunette, I do not understand the blond looks of her at all ... Britney, Go brunette and make me happy!

RepRap

So I'm bored ... a little, I decided to build a RepRap for personal use. I will keep you posted on how it's going anyway.
