The firmware update is now available for the Panasonic Lumix LX3. I’m just bookmarking this, because current downloads of the firmware update are suspended at this time. I’ll have to come back later to get the latest plus instructions on how to do it.
Also, here’s a blog with tips on using the LX3. It’s where I found out about the firmware update.
I haven’t dug into using my new camera. I’m actually reading the manual as we speak.
Quote of the Day [9.25.09]I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machette to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass"Short Skirt/Long Jacket" Cake
Link of the Day [9.22.09]Hey! It's another palindrome day! Sweet.Today, I got a cool link for you. It's about a bunch of MIT students who sent a balloon up into the upper reaches of the atmosphere to do some near-space photography. Cool, hunh? What's even cooler? They did it all on a budget of $150! That's pretty cheap. Someday soon someone is going to do it really on the cheap once technology can bring it all down.http://space.1337arts.com/
I keep looking for the Lumix LX3, but it was always sold out at Amazon. Finally, they had it in stock and I bought it. Perhaps as a birthday present.
Surprisingly, the Baltimore Orioles have not had any realy long losing streaks. Just a bunch of small ones repeated over, and over, and over again. When will this end.

Sometimes it’s hard to be a Baltimore Orioles fan. The decade of losing. The old worn out pro free agents. The not ready for prime time rookies. The dead arms and dead bats. Jobu does not smile on this franchise.
Yet. You go the Yard. Drink beer. Sweet talk the ball girl. And watch the game and it becomes fun.
Nothing like a night at the Yard.
Yikes.
It has been another year.
The hair is grayer and there is less of it.
And there is more of me.
One down. Many more to go.
Hey! I ran into this!http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/15/technology/internet/15adco.htmlI was trying to check the scores of the Orioles v Yankees game over the weekend to see the NY media's take on the almost demolition of the high and mighty Yanks by the lowly Os. But every time I hit the Sports page, the anti-virus adware would pop up and tell me I had a virus. Cool, but I'm running a Mac. Can't you at least make it look like I'm not runing an MS OS?I mean, come on. You can sniff my OS in the http request can't you? How hard is it to parse the user-agent string in this day and age?It's a pretty lame way to get attention. But don't switch to the Mac, keep the stupid people on MS OSes, please.
Link of the Day [9.15.09]Capitalism eats itself as well as its young, old and every one in between. It doesn't care about you. It doesn't care about your job or your house or your kids' schooling. It does what it does efficiently and ruthlessly. It's growth is unrelenting. It will make you happy for a while, but eventually it will make you sad. Don't say that there were no warning signs. Don't say that no one could've predicted. Someone can and did by just looking at how things work, extrapolating this to the future, and realizing it will destroy us.It is a cylce of destruction, and once we realize that we need to oversee this cycle to make it less destructive, we will realize that someone other than the Market should help.http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2009/09/13/why_capitalism_fails?mode=PF

You need to know how other countries can provide health coverage to all their citizens for cheaper than the US. Watch this Frontline to compare. It’s amazing that they can provide for their citizens. Perhaps, the difference is that their citizens aren’t as selfish or that their citizens aren’t as stupid as us. We’ll not do right by our less fortunate.
Just take a gander. It’ll help you understand that we really need to change.
