One of my co-workers blessed me with this video. Not only do I not understand who would listen to this, but I can’t figure out why it is so funny and gets tattooed into my brain every time I listen to it. It is from a Latin American artist named Rodney Clark aka “El Chombo”. For more on Rodney and Chacarron, check out the Wikipedia article.
I give you…Chacarron…
A couple of students at Arizona State are doing a study on body technology interfaces. Isn’t the person using this just looking for ridicule and possible bodily harm? What’s that you say? Of course I would buy one! But only if it had a target knitted in the back of the head.

I play guitar. I have since I was pretty young, but it is just another one of my 1,800 hobbies. I’m not great, but not horrible. I love gadgets. Most of my hobbies involve a lot of gadgets. Enter… The Gibson Robot Guitar. I am crazy impressed with this and want one…don’t need one…wont get one…just want one.
For all you rockers out there who are too lazy or too busy to tune your own strings, Gibson has just made your day. The self-tuning Les Paul we told you about back at the beginning of October has just gotten its official release date and a brand-spanking-new name: The Gibson Robot Guitar. Sure, it won’t fix you breakfast, watch the children, or make a logical decision to wipe out all human life on the planet, but on December 12th, it will tune the hell out of your Ernie Balls. Check the video after the break to see the guitar in action.
Every year or so (twice this year), I evaluate my highly used gadgets and decide whether I need to sell and upgrade so that my useless material items don’t lose all of their value. This month I have been going nuts. I have always wanted Canon L lenses for my wonderful Canon 40D digital SLR camera. These L-class lenses are in a whole new class than my previous glass (hip photographer’s term for lenses). This month I decided to bite the bullet and put 3 of my lenses on eBay, do some freelance web development and a couple of paying photo gigs to afford a couple of these precious photographic commodities. I’m happy to announce that the transformation to equipment-spoiled photographer is complete.
So this is what I recently acquired to bring my photo clarity to a new level:
I filled the backpack with all that gear and my 17″ MacBook Pro. I almost fell backwards it was so heavy. Actually, lifting the pack was a struggle, but once it was on, it wasn’t so bad.
The only thing I am nervous about is the 24-70. It has a history of not being calibrated correctly from the factory. A friend of mine sent hers back and it was definitely suffering some back-focusing issues.
I will be putting these lenses through their paces in the next couple of weeks and will report back with my findings.
