I love this stuff! This is hardcore! Who knows who they are transporting, but they must be important or in danger or both! They're in town for the UN business going on, must be some head of state!

I hate posting two Flickr Fridays in a row, I'll try to blog some this week!

I just got a camcorder that shoots in widescreen. When I upload onto YouTube, they squish the picture, making everyone look super thin and circles look like ovals! Google Video supports the 16:9 format, so why not YouTube? If anyone knows a work around for this, please let me know!

I love Domo Kun! Here is my pal Paul's Domo that he took with his Nikon. I love how white the teeth are!

Here it is, the rumored iPhone-like iPod. I might just buy one. They are a bit pricey at $399, but its pretty neat. Capacity is only 16GB, but I only have 16.4GB of music. I can at the very least, cut about 4GB of that off and use that space for some other media, like movies or TV. Engadget reported that you can clearly see a Bluetooth logo in the top right corner of an apple promotional image. Unfortunately, this detail is missing from the FCC filing, so they'd have to re-file at the very least before this feature, if even installed, is ever to be used.

Apple's website states September 28th is the shipping date for this item. Hopefully I can pick one up and a White Sony PlayStation Portable in Delaware (no sales tax!) with my employee discount sometime in the beginning of October.

According to a source quoted by engadget, Think Secret, the new iPods will have some sweet features. In just about 15 hours, Apple will announce what is almost surely going to be an entirely new line of iPods, sans the fairly young shuffle. According to Think Secret, these new iPods will feature an iPhone-esque 3.5" touch screen featuring Cover Flow features. Other speculators stated that the entire iPod line would go flash based, thus taking a step backwards from 60GB and 80GB versions. Flash modules coupled together in these sizes would make the device prohibitive expensive. Personally, I hope to see the 1.8" Hard drives stick around in capacities of at least 60GB. The large and now affordable flash modules can support 16GB or even 32GB iPod Nanos.

I'd also like to see WiFi for all sorts of online support, and most of all, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR for some good quality wireless headphones.
