Another Boring Title Here
So, here’s my sweater at its current state. I just got the two fronts down to the underarm and just joined them to the back. At least it’s sweater-shaped now. Or shows clear signs that it will be.
Remember I was talking about cameras the other day? Well, I thought you’d be interested in seeing my current collection. Though this photo does not include the original digital Canon Elph I got in 1999 or the Nikon Coolpix I followed it up with–I gave the Coolpix to my Dad and the Elph is buried in the office closet at the other end of the house. And, of course, I used a camera to take this with–my current Canon Elph.
So, what do we have here? Clockwise from the silver Canon S2 IS (digital) at 9:00, next is the 35mm Canon Rebel SLR I got 11 years ago (with its Tamron zoom lens). Then my 35mm Olympus SLR that I bought in London in 1987 when my prior camera died with its flash and its zoom lens). A 35mm Nikon point-and-shoot that I got in 1985 as a high school graduation present, and then a point-and-shoot Leica that I had somewhere in between the Nikon point and shoot and the Canon Rebel. (And no, please don’t ask me for specific model names and numbers!)
Really, that’s a smaller stash of cameras/accessories than I thought I had! Not an unreasonable collection for, what 23 years of photo-taking.
Okay, you must see this adorable dog-related video that I saw over at Rose-Kim Knits.
Did you know that May 1st is RSS Awareness Day? I know that a lot of you read mine and many other blogs with feed-readers like Bloglines, Newsgator, or Google Reader, but some of you don’t. But, if you read more than, say, three blogs, or if you like regular news updates, or want to know when other websites you visit have updated … RSS feeds are GOOD. They are handy and convenient and time-saving and all kinds of wonderful. That orange square with those arcs that you’re seeing everywhere? That indicates that a website has a RSS feed–which means that you can subscribe to it. You sign up with the feed-reader of your choice, tell it to subscribe to that site, and that’s it. Whenever there is an update, it will show up in your feed reader, saving you all the trouble of having to click to all the sites just to see that nothing had changed since your last visit.
Which, of course, saves you so much time that–if you’re anything like me–you’ll subscribe to LOTS of sites. It’s like that rule about nature abhorring a vacuum. I mean, you have to fill up that time with something.

Your handspun is really knitting up beautifully! It’s definitely starting to shape up into a sweater. That’s quite the camera collection you have there. I don’t feel so bad for having 4 in my collection.

Wow, you have a LOT more cameras than do I – I just have a film Olympus Stylus, a digital Stylus 800, and the new (featured today!) Stylus 1010.

Maybe you could sell off some of that extra camera stuff for the new one? RSS awareness day! What a great idea!

The sweater is coming along nicely.
And the camera collection? I can layout a similar picture myself. Countless digitals and a bunch of film cameras. The one that gets the most usage? Canon Digital Elph: SD500 still and the beloved Digital Rebel XT. That one just takes amazing pictures. It was worth it to buy the $20 usb card reader. Call me a Canon girl.

It does look like a sweater and it’s purty. Love that dog video. If I could teach Stella to do that I’d never leave the house. We’d dance all day.

That is a lot of cameras! I can’t even find my one digital.
I love Bloglines. Only I – - cleared it accidentally last night! Gah.
I hope your Mom is well for her Tuesday thing!

OK, that is just the funniest thing I’ve seen. And I’ve just wasted a half an hour watching dog dancing on youtube!
And I feel inadequate, we only have 2 cameras, a Canon Digital Rebel, and a tiny pocket sized Minolta digital point and shoot.

That pile looks an awful lot like RR’s pile. Except, we’re a Pentax family. ;o)
I did not know about RSS day – cool!
