OK OK back to business, iphone and Olympus

So today I get this kool email from Olympus, this company is underated int the photo world, Canon and Nikon seam to get all the play, but ( I LUV my Canon stuff, for shooting 35mm style) but for pocket snap shots you CAN'T beat Olympus, did ya see the picts on my last blog, all with the 770SW, well now they have a newer model that is 10megapixel, and a bit more shock proof, it's the new 1030SW has a bit more features but yes more $$$ for sure, is it a must have, I say NO, get the 770sw and spend the extra on the 1G H memory card and make a $10 donotion to your local animal shelter. Now back to the cameras, the new 10meg has some sort of underwater movie mode, I'm not sure what that's about as I have done a lil underwater movie mode, now I also shot a fun "stick camera out of the truck driving at 70mph threw a rain storm" mode ! Canon/Nikon can only do that in a big bulky water housing like this I used to own one of these said water housings, but in 2004 it went floating down the Salt River in AZ without me never to be seen again :( that was for my Canon S230 pocket camera, so then we stopped at best buy and bought the new Canon S400 yippie, then 3 months later Olympus came out with the Stylus 400 it was Water Resistant, great for rain and snowboarding, that's when the luv started for Olympus ( I have to say the ladies at Cypress corp are SO very NOT friendly) but the 770sw rocks, did I say that ???? ok ok sorry.

I am posting a video of my truck rain clip for you all to pass along and make huge so get crackin ! And I will be back on the iphone story shortly.

Back to So Cal

Well Well, our trip was great, go to Kiapet.com to see a short blog and soon I will post tons of picts to check out at the site as well. So lets see, we stopped at like 10 subway places, they were all great, except the one in Page AZ, I don't want to get into details, but lets say one customer had the whole staff of 3 making 25 sandwiches while the other 3 of us customers had to watch, well after 10min I stepped in as I had the dogs in the truck and it was 100 out.. what a useless bunch of wanna be sandwich artists I have to say. Also stopped at a few other places, took me 15min to get a Monster Bfast sandwich at the Carls'Jr in Havasu, AZ they suck big time.. next am. took only 10min I guess that's progress, then stopped at Mc Donalds in Parker and it took 20min in drive thru for 2 double cheeseburgers.. I would have walked in but is was over 100, what a useless drive thru cashier the poor guy couldn't even walk and when I pulled up to speak he just said something like what will you have, not sorry for the LONG ass wait, or welcome, blah blah.. and people wonder why other countries are kickin the USA's ass for so many things... ok sorry about the rant.. now on to fun stuff. ok my tip if you like to surf the web say myspace and want to check out picts in a very kool format you have to get this plug in for firefox, it's called piclens ( formally called) and it is awesome, more sites will soon intergrate with it I'm sure ( currently it works with about 21 sites) I guranteee you will LUV it. Anybody check out sketch ??? Thoughts ???

PS. now that I'm back I will get back on the iphone hype hunt and see what I find out ! And watch the video of the drive thru cashier from McDonald's Corp !
