What if I told you that you could have a PSP for $200? Not bad huh? Now how much would you pay for just the PSP box? How about $200? I guess this lucky winner of a PSP box didn’t read the title or description of the auction and won great looking PSP box for a cool $202. That makes me feel a whole lot better about some of the auctions that I’ve won. Now if I can just win that complete run of Spider-Girl comics I’d be set.

This is the coolest do it yourself project that I’ve come across in months. Systm, the IP TV show, has an episode on how to create your own audio visual cables. Now you don’t have to pay fifty bucks for one monster cable! The great thing about creating your own cables is that you can create them for specific lengths. So what are you waiting for? Create your own cables today!

At 11 AM this morning a hurricane warning was posted for all of Miami-Dade county. As I write this, it is not expected to directly hit Miami but hurricane force winds will be felt. Didn't I just leave this party?

This weekend Lucy and I attended the Night of Joy concert festival at Walt Disney World. We brought along our Canon Digital Rebel EOS 300D SLR camera. We bought this camera so we could use our SLR lenses with it. One of those lenses is a Sigma 70-300mm lens. When I tried to use this lens at Night of Joy I was receiving an error 99. This would of been a perfect time to use the lens being in the middle of all of those concerts but alas it didn't work. I did some research on this error and it appears that there is a problem with the lenses circuitry and it can only be corrected by sending the lens back to Sigma to be “re-chipped”. It also appears that Sigma does not pay a license to Canon to make lenses. Therefore, Sigma has to reverse engineer the products it makes. What's the moral? Buy first party products, it might be more expensive but it saves you time, money, and aggravation in the long run.
