Jonbu the baker

That blue dragon picture looks nice on the front page, so I kinda wanted to leave it there for a while by not blogging.
Update: I just progressed onto disc 3.
Update 2: I decided to be done with the game w/o finishing it. It’s getting too repetitive.

I’ve always (mistakenly) used categories as tags, so it’s an easy transition for me to go to tags. Got my tag cloud set up and “japan” is so big! It will always overshadow whatever else I write on this blog.

Was browsing around for cameras for my next trip, and saw this: Sony’s Smile Shutter

Basically the camera takes the picture whenever it detects a *smile*. Pretty neat. You can adjust the “strength” of the smile so that it takes the picture on a slight smile, or have it be strict and only take pictures when it sees a strong smile. So with this camera, you tell a joke instead of getting the person to say jeez.
I think it’s great for happy people.

Just as Pentax sold themselves to Hoya, I remotely sold the K100D in Taiwan to my uncle. He has two kids still growing up, and his last digital camera was a plastic BenQ. I think he needs this more than me. He asked for a super good bargain, and he got it, cuz Chinese people don’t usually say no to family. Which means the deal isn’t so good on my end. But I don’t mind. He’s a good guy.

Can’t believe I haven’t touched it in 9 months, and never will
Actually I’m pretty happy about it being gone, now that I’ve told myself not to cheap out again.

DSLRs are really clunky things to travel with. I put it on my neck, and it’s like someone punches me in the chest every time I take a step. Do I put it on the side, or hand carry it and strain my shoulder (Yes. I have a frail body). There’s no point carrying it in a case, because you loose photo ops. Lots to consider.
