Sony Cybershot DSC T20

Picture Quality: 4.5/5
Ease of Use: 4.5/5
Value for Money: 4/5
Shutter Speed: 3.5/5
Battery life: 3.5/5

Pros: macro settings, user interface, design, light weight
Cons: havent yet come across any
I fell in love with the T20 the moment I laid my eyes on it! T20 is a sleek, credit card sized camera with a slide lens design. I asked a friend to get me a black one from Singapore and have never been
more happier with any other camera. Its an 8.1 MP with 3x optical zoom with Carl Zeiss lens of course.

What I love best about about the T20 is its amazing ability to take out of this world macro pictures! It truly brings out the details from even the most mediocre of things. It has 2 macro settings, the macro and super macro. I am sure both will treasured by macro photo enthusiasts. Besides macro, it has a host of other automatic settings such as snow, fireworks, moonlight, etc. You can also record unlimited videos with sound depending on your memory card.

It has a big and beautiful LCD display screen with a very user friendly interface, that is common to most Sony digital cameras. It is an ideal point and shoot camera for beginners up to experts. Face Detection technology, a double anti-blur feature, high ISO sensitivity are some of its other additions.

In layman terms, go for it if this is your first digital camera or if you want a great gift for your family or close friend.

Blogspot error

This is the stupid error that I was getting each time I was trying to update my blog's template. It really got to me nerve I tell you.. I haven't seen this before at all. I also searched the help site and came up with zilch. Bloggers beware.

Aquarium- the water creatures

This is the latest picture of our aquarium. My husband cleaned it after quiet a few months of procrastination. The aquarium was literally teeming with apple snails whichw was the outcome of 2 horny papa and mama snails. Now we have just the Bleeding Heart tetras which are not exatcly sight for the sore eyes as they are fast zig zag swimmers. Apparently, it so happens that these tetras are extremely rare.

Stickies- easy, breezy and cutesy

I came across this very good sticky notes website, which allows you a free account with which you can create stickies for yourselves to remind you of that unfinished task... especially if you are forgetful like me [not really, I'm just trying to undermine myself here so that you feel good :P]

You can check it out here- http://www.mystickies.com

Note- not compatible with Firefox 3.0.4 :( and sadly does not work with IE [tell me something new eh!]

Whew... that was hard work...

I spent literally hours looking for a good skin for this blog. Ask me where I haven't been! I used all the different search engines as well. Finally got this beauty at a free templates site.

To add fuel to fire, Google was giving me a stupid error which haven't seen before.

So, after searching high low using different search engines, these are the site that gave me some very good templates.

The all-seeing eye

The Notorious Bettie Page

I havent seen a more misnamed movie. Bettie Page turned out to be an innocent southern belle who is trapped in the web of a difficult life and does what she has to, to survive. Bettie Page, a homely, black eyed and black haired beauty, pin up icon and a infamously famous.

The movie was a combination of black and white and spurts of color. Bettie is a beautiful girl who is god fearing and married to a man who doesn't appreciate her. She leaves him.. for good i might add. She ends up in New York and her tryst with modeling starts with a African American taking some casual pictures of her. From here she goes hunting for work and ends up with a couple who run a "different preferences" store. They tell her she just has to pose in some costumes and that these pictures are for some very influential people who have different preferences. In those days, there were just pictures and no movies containing graphic material. She eventually becomes the pin-up queen. Bettie makes a few friends on the way, taking acting classes to fuel her ambition. This is where she meets her boyfriend who later discovers what kind of modeling Bettie is into.

After the pictures are discovered by the censor board, Paula and Irving are dragged to court and are forced to shut shop. Bettie moves to Miami and discovers a church on a lonely walk on the beach. She is drawn to the church and leaves behind her modeling for a spiritual life.

My Rating= 6.5/10 :)

Bettie Page played by: Gretchen Mol

Here is a video excerpt from one of his shows. Watch out for his quick wit... injuriously funny!
