A bit more of the old slow and steady. This was a weekend of personal progress, where I took some actions that I’d been holding back from, and tackled some character flaws. I got some help on Friday, and that kicked my butt into action. The weather was bliss, such a shift from all cataclysmic storm activity of the last couple of months. Yesterday I took in Burton’s “Alice” with Lolita, and then we walked to Columbus Circle – stopping to check the crush at the Apple store. We had iPads in our hands, and my verdict is that it’s not for me at this point: bit too heavy, very fingerprinty and I’ve got a bunch of stuff that does what it does already. Will a lot of people buy them? Yes, I bet and it is a different sense of what a computer is, for better or worse. It’s a receiver – for audio, video email and text. So the goal is to be able to receive anything anywhere. And in that sense there’s a huge audience for it. There’s a lot of consumers out there.
Today I threw out a bunch of stuff around the house. Having a couple of days to warm up, I was able to move more of the clutter out, sweep some, and rework my shelves.
I’m still trying to get a feel for the SLR. one interesting change is that I went and checked out a Nikon equivalent to the lost Lumix and could tell right off that wouldn’t be happy with the lens on it. So it looks like I won’t be replacing my point and shoot fror a while.

It took me almost a year to get the feel for my Contax Camera after my very first film camera, an Olympus broke. I tried replacing it with a second hand Olympus but it still wasn’t the same. But now I love my contax camera and lens, a pity they are no longer produced.
It takes time sometimes.
