Schlumpy Morning Vodka Farts

Posted by

My wife is hungover, and I would like to blame the following people: Cheyenne, Cheyenne, and Cheyenne. Hoopty and I were innocent bystanders. We don't believe in imbibing the booze to have a good time. Nay, we'd much rather geek out in front of the screen. I showed him Knoppix and he was muy impressed. I tried to put make-up on him, too – but he wasn't about to do that without his matching handbag (which he conveniently forgot to bring). The Scobleizer Weblog guy was here with his new wifey. He so lucky. Even though he's always trying to swallow her whole. Anyway, I have documentation to share with you now. But I'm not liking this paragraph anymore, so let me start a new one.

DHL (arguably one of the lamest delivery services on the planet, online and off) attempted to deliver a package to me yesterday, but I wasn't home at the time. I had to drive across town this morning to pick up my brand-spankin' new Canon PowerShot G3 from Best Price Audio Video. I've been a G2 owner for the past year (since Brent purchased my Sony DSC-S70). I loved the G2, but I had to sell it if I was to get the new one. My initial impressions? The G3 0wnz. It's faster, the form-factor is more friendly, and the images are pretty darn good. Oh, you need an example? Okay, look at my hungover wife in a medium-lit room without a flash. Or, watch her in action (now equipped with Kung Fu toilet grip). Keep in mind, I had to encode this video for the Web; the original AVI picture is even cleaner, although its audio is more muffled than the WMV (encoded in 'Video for Broadband' @ 256k). The G3 is faster than the G2 by leaps and bounds, and the image quality seems to be just as strong (albeit sharper). Hey, I think I hear someone getting sick in the other room. Could it be… SANTA?!
