I'm posting this message from my spanking new iPod touch. Typing on the touch keyboard is a little slower then on a regular keyboard, but way faster than on any handheld device I ever owned. The glass screen seems very scratch restistant, in contrary with the back of the iPod. The back is made of the same shiny metal used on the other iPod models and is known for scratching even when just glimpsing at it. And now back to some handheld youtubing.

Apple filed a patent on a way to pile icons on the desktop. This made me think of a prototype project called BumpTop. With BumpTop you're desktop behaves as a real life desktop with a lot of junk that you can throw around.

My old car was corroding away under me, so I was looking for a replacement. And I found one! A shiny red Mazda 323 from 1994. This one should be able to transport me for a few more years.

I just entered the world of Digital Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras.

Ever since I got my compact camera (Canon Digital IXUS IIs) my eye was on the Digital Rebel from Canon (EOS 300D in Europe). This is the most-sold Digital SLR camera of the world and therefore almost within my budget. Last week I decided to buy it.
