My new Canon 5d Mk II

Canon 5d Mk ii (82/365)

Well, this was what I bought, a Canon 5d Mkii. It is, in my opinion, the best digitial DSLR camera out there right now, packing all the best features for a DSLR camera including a meaty 21megalopixel count, amazing noise reduction, hd movie recording, full frame goodness, a decent 3.9 fps burst shot, live view, 3inch lcd screen with 900k pixel LCD and loads more packed in a tiny "compact" form factor. This camera will last me quite a long time and will provide an ungodly amount of flexibility to what I can do (including shoot those damn HD movies).

Most munny spent

Most munny spent (81/365)

Well, I made sure the purchase was going to be nice and impromptu, my mum even warned my that I will be spending quite heavily this year which I can totally see why, I really have no self control when it comes to buying something I really want. Luckily I have saved quite a lot of money from the past so it’s not like I’m in super debt buying this.

Anyway, I’ve informed most of the people close to me about what I’ve bought and pretty much gave it away on my twitter feed if you’re following me on that so yeah. I finally bit the bullet of truth and purchased it, felt ever so anti climatic when I did it but I know it’s going to be the toughest two days ever waiting for the product to arrive in my warm welcoming hands.

I changed the tooltip using firebug by adding a nice “title” attribute to the link in case you were wondering if the checkout page actually had that when you hovered on the checkout button.

I’m expecting delivery either on Tuesday, if not I’ll just cry (because I’m getting it delivered to work and I will be on holiday on Thursday and Friday).

But yeah, I wanted to savour this one moment where I spent an ungodly amount of munny! It somehow didn’t pick up the £50 voucher I used so I’m a bit worried there :(

It’s like sophie’s choice but for geeks. After purchasing emmeee, I’ve had my mind set on buying some extravagant instead of focusing on the ickle things, so I’m stuck with 2 objects of desire, an Apple Mac Pro 2.26ghz 8 core desktop computer or a Canon 5d mk ii Full Frame DSLR camera. If you know neither of these products you might as well stop reading now.

Emmeee the great (my new netbook)

Emmeee the Great (67/365)
Ladeees and gentlefolk, let me introduce you to my new travelling companion, Emmeee! Since my old laptop is with someone else I thought I’d get myself a laptop for times where I’m travelling, visiting folks, or wanting to kill infected zombies and go on instant messenger at the same time to talk about said killings.

One point five bytes of TERROR

New 320gb Harddrive

That’s not the hard drive I’m getting btw, but yes! On Friday I ordered myself a lovely 1.5 terrobyte (mmm terror) for my PC. It seems that going to so many gigs can really put a strain on my hard disk, especially when I come home with 4gb of RAW photos. They take up quite a lot of memory so yeah, rather than trying to find something to delete everytime I upload something, I best get myself a meaty new hard disk to solve this problem once and for all. Will be doing some late night blogging to make sure I’m up to date. I’ve realised that it really looks like I haven’t done much due to lack of blogging activity but nope, been gigging like crazy and had no time to write about it. Except loads of updates in a bit!

Add me on twitter?

Add me on Twitter :)

I’ve had my twitter account quite a long time ago but on private, it has it’s advantages but I thought making it public will allow me to integrate stuff with my site and whatnot, so i pretty much deleted my entire account and started anew.

So yes, add me on http://twitter.com/crazybobbles! If you haven’t tried twitter, give it a go, it’s pretty ace for micro blogging.

Sometimes, people make a war

Amazing, absolutely amazing. Apparently they make war for business. This is “Speak” a random Hungarian Rapper, his lyrics are truly inspiring and heartwarming. I’ve been singing this with my coworkers all day long. Good times.

Update: Just managed to learn how to play this brilliant tune on guitar, though someone has already covered it :D

Happy New Year Everyone, Lets start something new!

Happy New Year! (1/365)

Happy New Year folks
Hope everyone is enjoying their first day into year 2009. This year I’m going to join the herd and start on project 365. Looking at my photo folders I pretty much saw a daily stream of photos so why not turn this into a committed photography project. The community feels friendly and cheery so I’m definitely going to enjoy meeting other fellow 365′ers along the way. I think most of my 365 photos will be pretty much focused on music, movies, books, things i buy, places i go and food i eat (and then pretty much whatever comes my way).
