Cameras – The Best of the Best!

March 4, 2010 – 12:43 pm

In a perfect world, I’d have these three cameras.

Canon EOS Rebel t2i

T2i Front

Canon EOS Rebel T2i. It’s also known as the Canon EOS 550D. This would be the camera I’d use for situations that would require a quality camera. If I want to take some portrates of my nices, I’d grab this camera pair it with a 50mm Lens and start shooting. With it’s full HD recording at 30fps I could use this to capture some stunning video. There are so many things I want to do with this camera. Here’s a link to the Canon EOS Rebel T2i on Amazon.

Canon PowerShot SD980IS ELPH

ELF

When it comes to everyday candid snapshots I’ve always been a fan of Canon’s ELPH line. (I’ve personaly owned 3 of them) There new lineup is as impressive as ever. The Canon PowerShot SD980IS is especally impressive. The back even has a touch screen! It also has 720 HD video recording! Here’s a link to the Canon PowerShot SD980IS ELPH on Amazon.

Flip Mino HD 8GB

When the Canon Elf has 720 recording you might wonder why I’d have a Flip as well. The answer is simple. Simplicity. This is a video camera that you will actually use. If you want to capture a funny moment of your toddler, this is the camera you’ll reach for. If you want to attach a camera to your RC Plane, this is the camera to grab. No wonder they have sold over 1 million of these cameras! Here’s a link to the Flip Mino HD 8GB on Amazon.

Feel free to buy me one of each. :)

Ken’s Today Screen Replacement For Windows Mobile

November 17, 2008 – 3:42 pm

Click here to see the newest version

Check out my latest project:

***This is the old version. Click here to see the new version ***

It’s a simple and powerful “Today Screen” replacement for Windows Mobile. I wrote it in C# using the Compact Framework. In this project I implemented a few firsts for me, including finger gestures and animation. I’m very happy with the outcome. I also spent many hours on the Graphic Design of all of the icons and buttons. (Graphic Design ain’t my thing!) This program is far better than the original Today Screen in terms of ease of use. I can now quickly get to the things I use most often. I may post the source or the exe if people are interested.  Let me know.

***This is the old version. Click here to see the new version ***

Here are some of the features.

1. The Home Screen. Here you can get to your most used programs.


2. You can change the programs by right clicking on them.   (I made extra images that are installed with the exe, including a Calender Icon as well as a few others.)


3. The Contact Screen. Here you can call your top friends by just clicking on their face!


4. You can delete a contact’s shortcut by right clicking on the contact and clicking delete. To add a contact just click on the plus icon and choose a contact.


5. There are actually 16 saved shortcuts. If you make a finger gesture dragging from the bottom to top, you can see two more rows of contacts.
6. You can use finger gestures to change tabs as well as clicking on the tabs. To move by gesturing, drag from the right to the left to move to the next tab.  Drag from the left to the right to move back.
7. Ken’s Today screen shows more notifications than the default notification bar does.  Ken’s Today screen has: Email, text message, missed calls, voicemail, bluetooth connection, wifi connection, network, network strength, phone speaker, and battery power.


8. When there is music playing, the name of the artist, track, and album scroll across the screen under the time as a marquee.


9. In the settings tab you can change the phone to automatically turn the speaker phone on. Also you can change what happens when clicking on the time.

That’s it!
