I wanted to purchase a cheap camcorder that shot in 720p for my ski trip to Utah, but after spending 3 days researching I decided to give up on the idea and instead picked up this camera that features a Lecia optical stabilized lens, 9.1 mpx CCD sensor, 10x zoom, auto-bracketing (HDR!!), and most importantly shoots in video in 720p at 30fps!. Perfect for what I need.   I’ll upload a test video shortly.

Grabbed this jacket from SAC to take with me to Utah. Features the Polartec Power Shield fabric.  Lightweight, blocks wind, and steezy – just what I need.

It’s that time a month again where I order another pair of headphones to feed my addiction.  I have chosen Head-Direct’s RE2s due to their special promotion they are currently offering.  Now I have plenty of IEM but I just had to check this out at the price they were currently selling them for.  They are often said to have the clarity of Etymotics but with great bass.  I can see where people are coming from on that one but I am currently in the process of burning in the the dynamic driver.  At the current promotion of $49 +$5 worldwide shipping, there is not doubt you could find something close to what these headphone can offer.  I have yet to try out the various size tips since I have four other pairs of headphones I am constantly switching between.
