FORTUNE COOKIE OF THE DAY

First I get this automatic e-mail notification this morning:

Fr 13. Feb 03:07:15 CET 2009

Writing of backup […] to media […] failed.

And then… I read my fortune cookie for the day:

What happened last night can happen again.

Oh, and I forgot. I’m not superstitious, but the calendar says today is Friday, 13th…

WENN DIE DEUTSCHE BAHN FÜRS NETZWERK-ROUTING VERANTWORTLICH WÄRE...

Sehr geehrte Payload,

ANOTHER NEW TOY AT JP'S MAGIC TECH PLAYGROUND

The newest member of the tech stuff family in our household is this shiny Canon EOS 40D.

Because the 40D is not a very significant upgrade from the Canon EOS 400D/Rebel XTi, most of my photography-savvy friends recommended going all the way to a [used] Canon EOS 5D. I’m really OK with the 40D so far.

Next items on my shopping list: lenses, lenses, lenses. 🙂 (Update: Got one. :D)

FORTUNE COOKIE OF THE DAY

You will be run over by a beer truck.

Could be worse.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!
