mega super sensors batman!

it's been a quiet 2 months.. not. =)

i'm here in pittsburgh, penn.. in the basement of this wicked college rental house.. a ton of rooms and space.. i just got back from some bar-hopping.. i can't believe i was drinking $1 and $2 pints.. that's insane! hehe.. i can't take this much liquid.. i'm surprised this one dive had every flavour of goose :)

anyhoo, down to business - mike mak sends me this email regarding the 40d... i'm browsing briefly.. then check again a couple of minutes ago - nikon has announced all these crazy new products.. yikes.. i think the digital SLR market is finally getting more mature.. some serious products out now.. check out dpreview.. there's the canon 1ds mk3, 1d mk3, 40d, nikon d3, d300.. finally full frame for nikon! wow. i'm still interested in canon :p

i came across something pretty funny at "hemingway's cafe" (a dive compared to our yorkville version).. they have a half price menu after 9pm.. but they spell out all the 'rules' pretty clearly - ie, it is common courtesy to tip on the full price b4 discount, you need to buy a drink with it or be charged, more than 6 ppl get automatically charged 15% tip, etc.. crazy, but clear =)

lots going on.. weddings are finally winding down.. going to san fran next weekend!! i'm so beat. uhaul, moving, driving...
