My camera arrived this morning—from Buy.com. Some modern tracking and ordering system, guys. If you didn’t make people pay $10 to talk to a live customer support rep after they have paid for merchandise, this shit wouldn’t happen. I cancelled the order last Friday after they couldn’t tell me when it would ship. So now I have to figure out what to do with two cameras.

Then the real camera arrived, and it’s very, very sweet. I’m currently charging the battery, but it looks and feels fantastic. The Ikelite housing came in this morning, and it fits the camera like a glove. All the function buttons are useable, the case is solid and sturdy, and it feels good to hold. I can’t wait to try this out.

Did you know that you can take a firearm, nunchuks, or a billy club on a plane as checked baggage, but you can’t take a flare gun or a ‘gun lighter’ under any circumstances?

I read on Slashdot that Adobe has announced their platform of choice for Photoshop is Windows. I understand that the sheer economics of PC sales demand software makers to bow to the prevailing champ, but I doubt this will affect the quality or performance of their next products. I just hope they optimize Photoshop 8 for OSX a bit better—it runs like a sloth on my PowerBook.
