Xacti VPC-E1 Camera Test at the Craft Store

Filed under: Cameras — Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am

I wrote about the Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 before:

I was finally able to get one and what did I do to test it out? I took it to the craft store.

Everything in a fabric store is so vividly colored that it’s the perfect place to test your camera. I can’t do a better review than Ryanne did back in July. All I can do is show you how pretty the colors are.

Windows Startup Screen Montage

Filed under: Software — Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am

I love this video of a montage of all the Windows startup screens.

Just seeing those old screens made me feel all the excitement I felt when I was just starting out with computers. Those blue screens and that font reminded me of all the possibilities that computers represented to me. Then hearing the old sounds, especially from Windows 3.1, spurred my nostalgia. I remembered walking into Egghead Software over on State Street by the Shopko. Mike and I used to go there several times a week just to look around.

Now, we hit the Apple store several times a week, but it all feels the same, yet different.

I wonder if I’ll ever feel nostalgic about the Vista noise.
