Every once in a while… trip a child.
Grrrrrrr. “Hurricane Dean hit the Yucatan Peninsula near the city of Chetumal as the first Category 5 storm to strike Mexico in 19 years.” So as of around 3:30 this morning every news report on Earth only seemed to be worried about the health and safety of Cancun. Meanwhile, the goats and X-Boxes of quaint little villages and minor cities were going down like Monica Lewinski. Katrina was also a Category 5. I hear Houston will be getting Dean’s refugees too. Speaking of Houston, check out this article. “...if you live in Houston, ...the average commuter spends 20.9% of his annual household costs on getting to work”. Amazing, eh? In other, disheartening, news… Paramount dropped BluRay last night in what appears to be a buyoff from the HD-DVD camp. Sad panda.
One last snippet… 1Ds III is here. Someone please buy my 1Ds II body so I can go to 14-bit color RAW format. Mark II bodies are still going for $6999 at B&H, so I’ll take anything over $4500 for the cam plus everything in the original box… including an extra battery since they switch from nickel metal hydride to lithium ion in this release. If you know someone in the market, please pass the info along.
