A Decade of Digital.
Posted by terri | Filed under digital life, geektech, natsukashii
It was over 10 years ago on December 25, 1998 that I got my first digital camera. It was a Fujifilm DX-7 camera that my parents had gotten for me for Christmas.

What a pleasant surprise on a day off that I had to spend sick at home:
I got my iPod Nano delivered 3 days earlier than expected!

iPhone 2.0 has been so awesome. It’s kind of like being in a relationship that is mostly good, but you wait around hoping that the other would change for the better, and then by surprise, they actually do. I think I’ve fallen in love with the iPhone for real this time instead of just saying, “Oh yeah, I have an iPhone.” Not to say that should provide an insight in my personal life right now… (Life is pretty awesome for me right now, by the way.)
Right now, I have about two full pages of apps and so far only paid for two apps: Scrabble and Bomberman. Scrabble is fun but a major crashbag, and Bomberman is kind of boring. I have to say that the free apps have been what have impressed me the most. It’s all been said and done, so I won’t go over what they do. I guess I can mention some fun facts I learned from having iPhone 2.0.
- Thanks to some random playlist in Pandora, I realized that “I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On” by Robert Palmer was actually a cover of an R&B song by Cherrelle in 1984. My only reference of Cherrelle is that duet she did with Pebbles in the early 90s. Interestingly enough, Mariah Carey did a non-imaginative cover of Cherelle’s song for that bombed album/movie Glitter. The song was written by Jam & Lewis, who also produced Cherrelle’s and Mariah’s versions. (And in case you are under 15, everything Jam & Lewis produced in the late 80s and early to mid 90s was GOLD.)
- It’s amazing how addicting something like Loopt can be for many people; and even more so, people are willing to give their bosses access to their most currently available location…heheh, including me…but, but, it’s fun!
- There are lot of two letter words that I had no idea were in existence. Now I can see how one really can be “hardcore” in Scrabble. I prefer the friendly game than the competitive one.
- The very first song on the playlist currently featured in the Apple Store is called “Silver Lining” by Rilo Kiley I am in awe of Shazam for doing what many Google Searches could NOT do. I got to discover the rest of their music on their 2007 album, Under the Blacklight, which is now downloaded to my computer from iTunes.
- You can pick an app out of several only because it has your name in it. I love Twitterrific!
And of course, I’m excited about my newest app, Wordpress! I first had to upgrade my Wordpress before being able to set it up on my iPhone. I guess I’ve been more excited about getting the upgrade out of the way than actually having the app on my phone, but I am hopeful that it will actually allow me to make use of this blog, which is now hitting its 3rd year. Hooray, hooray…
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing (on iPhone 2.0…and MobileMe?)

My iPhone has been activated since July 26, 2007. The following is a note that I started soon after and have been adding to for the past 11 months or so. Will iPhone 2.0 address all these? Some are a yes with the introduction of MobileMe; the others we shall wait and see:
iPhone Features Wishlist
- Voice recorder
- iDisk access
- Copy and paste
- Find feature
- RSS feed
- A checklist
- Downloadable voicemail
- ICal publish from phone
- Email search
- File storage
- Acclerometer option
- .mac sync
- Bluetooth keyboard capability
- iCal subscription
- “From” field control in Mail
P.S.: I am not planning on getting the iPhone 3G tomorrow nor anytime in the near future, but I do, however, plan on buying AppleCare for my current iPhone…and soon!
And here’s the movie…

Welcome to your new home.

Couple of months ago, I joked with my hunny when I saw his faded Apple shirt marking the debut of the iMac, “Hey, you think I’ll get an iMac before the 10 year anniversary?”
I kid you not. It arrived on that very date.
After waiting for what seemed like many eternities, I finally got my new 24″ iMac yesterday. I was actually hoping for it to arrive on my day off on Monday, but of course, that was not to be. It all worked out though, because I spent my entire day off cleaning up my cluttered desk. What’s even better was that my hunny helped me do a little “surgery” on my desk since the partition that was there would have made it impossible to fit the 24″ screen.
And as if he couldn’t be any sweeter, my hunny waited at my house for the delivery the next day. As for me, I was checking FedEx tracking on my iPhone like a madwoman during my breaks at work. You can’t imagine how happy I was to be home to find my newest toy in her plain brown box hours later. And at last, she is here in all her 3.06Ghz glory:
And like with many of the goodies I get, I’m giving this one a name. I decided to call her “Chloe.” Maybe you can figure that out.
Sniping away.

Hurrah, hurrah!I finally got my Canon SD1100 camera from Amazon in the mail after a long agonizing 9 days (silly me chose Super Saver Shipping…tsk tsk.) It was worth the wait as I am now enjoying the fruits of a much faster, more compact camera than what I had been using before. I never really had the desire for a camera until recently when I saw the value my hunny had in taking pictures of anything and everything. I have come to follow suit with my iPhone and now this handy camera which I think I purchased for the fact that it can do fairly decent video. To go with it, I got an 8GB card. The bf tells me that I’m crazy to get such a huge card, but I think for my trip to California next month, it’s well justified.And of course, with one purchase, trickles many others. On top of the 8GB card, I also got the case and a Flickr Pro account. I hope I get the opportunity to get out there and take some pictures.
Aloha!
