Oh how I love insomnia. I’m writing this blog entry at 2:30 in the morning. Since I have to get up at 7:30, you can guess how much this sucks. I really need to go the doctor about this. I just don’t get enough sleep any more. This probably happens at least once a week now. <\/p>\n
On a more pleasant note, I got a new digital camera on Saturday! It’s a 7.1MP Canon Powershot SD1000<\/a>. It’s a really great camera. It’s pocket sized, and has a really fast auto focus, and image processing speed. My favorite feature however is the red eye removal. After you’ve taken a picture, and notice that there’s really bad red eye (like I’ve got right now) you can view the picture on the camera’s playback mode, and use the thumb pad to draw a box around the red eye area of the image and remove the red eye. This way, I can remove the red eye while I take the pictures, and not later in bulk when I upload the images to iPhoto. Take a look at the latest pictures in my Flickr<\/a> library to see some of the SD1000’s<\/a> handiwork.<\/p>\n Sweet dreams everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oh how I love insomnia.
