Presenting my first Carl Zeiss lens: For those who are into photography, they should know what Carl Zeiss is. I finally bought my first Carl Zeiss lens the other day at a very good price. (as usual, more photos follow...)...
Sony to release PlayTV for PlayStation 3 in Australia by October
Well, not really a 'new' news, but on 23 June, Sony Computer Entertainment Australia announced that its much-anticipated PlayTV will be released in Australia by the end of October. (When PlayTV first available in Europe, Sony initially announced that...
a radio clock
During today's second window shopping, I bought a great radio alarm clock, not the new digital radio although... The sole purpose for the said radio clock was for its digital display as a clock in the living room. The cheap...
two Sony GN58 Flashes; two's better than one (ch 11)
As we all know that lighting is the main thing of photography. A good external flash is needed in a number of situations. I know my α350 has a built-in flash, but you can't compare the built-in (pop-up) flash to...
Sony Super Quick Charger
Time to talk about batteries again. Still, I don't like to use AA/AAA rechargeable batteries. However, I bought a new AA/AAA NiMH charger - Sony Super Quick Charger with LCD Screen (BCG34HRMF4). You might remember that I mentioned Energizer Rechargeable...
testing Macro lens, and it's tasty
Just posting two photos from Laurent's Petit Fours workshop. I was testing my Sony 100mm F2.8 Macro lens. I know I should have been out to some gardens and take some photos in Macro, well, the weather has not been...
a poor man's accessories
This is a promised entry, I know it's a bit late. Well, better late than never. On my short trip to Tasmania at the beginning of this year (30 Dec 2008 - 14 Jan 2009), I took a few gadgets...
my alpha 350 is back
After almost one week without my α350 DSLR, I got it back today! On Monday (23 Feb), I sent my Sony α350 Digital SLR camera camera to Sony Authorised Repairer in Chatswood. and I was told that damage to...
it's good to have a big TV
Well, we all love big TVs (except Don). During the 16 days trip in Tasmania, we had a TV set on most nights , only one night we had a TV larger than 20-inch. Laurent and I were watching TVs...
Why you need a Sony AC-VQ900AM
In October 2007, I bought a Sony semi-pro digital camera (bridge camera) - Sony Cyber-shot DSC H9. It was a great camera, however, there was one thing I couldn't stand. The included accessory would take 4.5 hours for practical charging...
tracking myself with Sony GPS-CS1KASP
I am pretty sure tracking my own location certainly does not get Don's approval. Apart from the super-secrecy concern, there's a good point of tracking myself (my GPS location), then mapping it with Google map. This brilliant gadget is designed...
one more invisibleSHIELD
One of the best little item I discovered this is the invisibleSHIELD. It is not really a gadget, but a great companion for all sorts of electronic gadgets. I first had invisibleSHIELD for my iPod touch (blog entry), then I...
one more Sony (Sony DSLR α350)
There are a few Sony items Laurent and I acquired recently. It is time to present my latest Sony gadget - Sony DSLR α350 (Sony DSLRA350X twin lens kit). Yes, after some long decision, I finally made a move...
My PS3 and Wii
Just to post some updates on my PlayStation 3 and Wii. You might remember that I bought a pre-owned copy Grand Theft Auto IV (to Don: it means secondhand) in late June. No long after that, I realised there's Special...
Sony PS3 HDD upgrade
Well, the Sony PlayStation 3 only comes in 40GB hard drive now. But if you plan to use it for media centre and many other things, 40GB is pretty much not enough. After asking for opinions, I decided to get...
Sony PSP
For some unknown reason, I bought another Sony product on the Saturday before iPhone 3G was released in Australia on 11th July. That was 5th July. In order to prevent Don from calling me rich, I decided to push back...
crunching with PS3
Well, I've been doing something very contributing to the society with my PlayStation 3. How? The PS3 has been on most nights running Folding@home project. Folding@home is a distributed computing project designed to perform computationally intensive simulations of protein folding...
I can't afford the Monster Cable
When I bought the PlayStation 3 on Wednesday, the salesman managed to sell me Monster Cable branded HDMI cable. His point: that is the only HDMI cable I should have as it is the only one ‘certified’ to deliver 1080p....
I got a Blu-ray player (a.k.a. PS3)
Finally, I got a Blu-ray player for the Sony Bravia 52-inch LCD TV delivered two weeks ago. With a 52-inch LCD TV in Full HD (1080p) resolution, it seems a bit silly not get get a Blu-ray player. And...
Sony Bravia LCD TV
As mentioned on Tuesday, the new television has arrived today this lucky Friday the thirteenth at 4:15 pm. It is big (to me anyway), and the picture quality (HDTV) is amazing. Much much better than previous CRT TV (30-something inches,...
it is important to keep a record
In this days, it is very important to keep a record for your own good, and if you like me, you might want to record as much as possible. Consider the situation like that, you were arguing with someone, and...
Enchanted Wide Conversion Lens
Firstly, I'd like to thank John W. and Rev Dr Wu Yi for giving me two movie tickets. I watched Enchanted movie with Laurent tonight. Enchanted is a loving homage to many classic Disney animations of yore. All the...
goodbye Canon, hello Sony (Sony Cyber-shot DSC H9)
Well, it's time to say goodby to my Canon PowerShot S50. I suddenly can't close the lens cover during the Walk Tour in Maryborough on 27th September. It happened for no reason. The camera itself is still functioning, can...
