The Life of Reidy

Most of you know that I have been getting into the whole digital photography kick lately. My junky old Canon PowerShot and I have been traveling from the streets of San Francisco to the gritty hills of Worcester and I'm totally developing a great eye for neat photography. The problem being of course, that I am still using a junky old Canon. I would love to make an investment or somehow get my hands on one of those nifty HP digital cameras, and even the photo printer to go along with it. 3.2 megapixels just doesn't do it for me anymore, I need the power of at least 6 mighty megapixels to get all of the crazy, seemingly pointless details in my photography. Not only would I be able to instantly print out my shots to distribute to my portfolios, but the HP cameras are pretty sleek and conventional in their designs and would be much easier to cart around with me than my junky old Canon. Of course not all photography has to be my nerdy hobby either, and with one of those sweet HPs I would feel way more badass about sneaking it into concerts and snapping shots of some big bands or taking it to parties and humilitaing my friends and professors, like they have done to me so often! Yes, I realize such a tool should not be used for revenge, but things like that always seem so much funner when you can ensure that your photos will be top notch.

The MPAA is always up to some squandering for extra money, but who can blame them I suppose. They get sued to no end if films arent' properly rated, and people just aren't going out to the thaters as much as they used to. And why would they, with such a rising popularity in home theater and HD-DVD quality films that you can purchase and watch anytime from the comfort of your own couch?

It's this kind of comfort that the MPAA is now switching it's targets towards. The MPAA is lobbying with congress to push for a new bill that would make any "unauthorized" home theaters illegal. These guys think that all theaters should be sanctioned, whether they be commercial settings or at home. This is kind of pretentious, because people buy their home theaters in pieces from many different stores, so it will be rather interesting to see how they would regulate such an act if this bill is actually passed. Good luck, home theater goers.

Money is always a tricky situation. To quote Adam Sandler from the Wedding Singer: "I have no experience but I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in." Sometimes I feel like I can really relate to that, and it always helps to have a bit of cash advances when those bills start to pile up and the paychecks are looking rather slim.

I got to play some of the Wii over the weekend, and while it's certainly not the most technologically amazing thing ever created, it sure was a heck of a lot of fun to play. The sports demo disc that came with the system alone was enough to keep my friends and I satisfied for quite some time. I really enjoyed the Tennis and Baseball simulators the most, even though my friends and I almost destroied some furniture from swinging the controllers around. I wasn't so impressed with the Boxing simulation, it seemed rather unresponsive to me, but maybe that's just how the mechanics of the game worked. It certianly showed crazy amounts of potential for the future of video gaming, and that is a promise I am willing to bank on.

I was instantly sold when I played the Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess for about ten minutes. It was amazing how much control I now had over Link and his actions, I could be equipping one item while swinging the Master Sword all in one, beatuifully swift motion. I can't wait to buckle down and actually play out the whole game to see what kind of entry into the world of Hyrule that Nintendo has to offer this time.
