Downloadable Videos

First it was Apple offering downloadable copies of past TV shows($1.99/episode), and now it seems that TV networks CBC and NBC are following up, and offering past shows for $0.99/episode(those aren't exactly downloadable, but instead can be viewed on Comcact On Demand.)

I think this is a great step forward ! While currently they only offer recent show, I can imagine that sometime soon we'll be able to download pretty much any show that ever aired on TV and this really excites me !

The wonders of photography...

Finally, two months after buying a Canon Powershot S60 I got to read it's instruction manual today. My knowledge of digital photography has been really minimal, so reading that instruction manual really opened my eyes to the wonders of photography. I was amazed at how many camera options one can configure in order improve the quality of the pictures. After reading the manual, I turned to Google to find more resources and tutorials on digital photography, and quickly found an excellent website http://www.dcviews.com that has an incredible collection of tutorials on all kinds of topics related to digital photography. Obviously I cannot become a great photographer right away, but I hope that after reading all that information today, my future pictures are going to be at least slightly better than the ones I've been taking up until now.

Ferry Corsten at Mezzanine, San Francisco

This past friday(Oct 15, 2004) I went to what it considered to be San Francisco's premier underground nightclub called Mezzanine. DJ Ferry Corsten was spinning, so it was a good occasion to check out that venue for the first time. Up to that point I was somewhat dissapointed in San Fran's nightclub scene - the clubs are not nearly as good as in Toronto, and the sound quality usually leaves a lot to be desired. Well, Mezzanine proved to be a different beast. I really really really liked it. The sound was good, and the vibe was awesome. It was evident that people came there to party, and party they did ! Ferry Corsten was also on fire, and it seemed like he was really enjoying himself. One thing that I found strange was that most people in the club were sober. Lets be frank here - the crowd in Toronto is usually 80% high. In San Fran it's the other way around - pretty much everyone was either sober or drunk. Nice !
