A New Me!

A new day, a new me (well not really). I've been playing with the Ricoh GR Digital today, it's got a Text scene mode that captures the image as a black and white tiff file, and it allows you to change the darkness of the image you're taking, Microsoft's built in picture viewer seemed to make it look like it was a greyscale image, which I thought looked cool, so here it is.

I'm really good at putting off work, but still think I'm working, for example, I have a heap of reviews to write (4 currently! and more cameras expected!!), but I'm much better at taking random photos and playing with the cameras than actually doing the writing, although playing with the cameras is important, if I don't write anything then it kind of defeats the purpose! Also, I'm VERY good at reading about cameras on the internet as well, and I'm especially good at going off on a tangent, for example, I was reading Ken Rockwell's website the other day, and ended up reading all about the Nikon F100 (a film camera) - and so it goes on, you find something interesting mentioned on a Nikon F100 website and then end up reading all about Digital Images, and sharpening. Anyway - I really must get to work... straight after getting a cuppa tea :)

MD.45 The Craving Dave Mustaine Vocals 2004 Remastered

1996 - Dave Mustaine got together with Lee Ving (Voice, Harmonica, Lyrics), Kelly Lemieux (Bass), Jimmy DeGrasso (Drums) and played Guitar and wrote lyrics to record the album called MD.45 - The Craving, creating a "punk metal record". It was at a time when Dave was unhappy with what Megadeth were doing (Cryptic Writings, Risk). Musically great, however, fans of Megadeth / Dave Mustaine, were somewhat disappointed with the vocals. Fast forward to 2004 - Dave Mustaine is remixing and remastering all his albums, one of them is MD.45 - The Craving. Unfortunately half the recording (Vocals, Harmonica) was recorded in a different studio, which had since shut. Unable to remix / remaster from the original recordings, Dave Mustaine decided to re-record the vocals and harmonica by singing himself and simulating the harmonica parts on guitar. MD.45 The Craving - Dave Mustaine Vocals (2004 Remastered) - Fans of Megadeth will enjoy this album. I listened to the original '96 versio

Indigo Drink - Energy that's a little bit fruity.

Apparently it's an energising Peach and Lemon fruit juice drink with Guarana, Ginseng and Caffiene, however, it seems to just taste purple and sugary to me. Maybe there's a hint, a slight tiny hint of Peach in there? Contains Water, Glucose Fructose Syrup, Fruit juices (10%), Sugar, Taurine, Flavourings (Guarana, Ginseng, Peach, Caffiene), Salt!. And 25mg or caffiene / 100mls! Although this is around the same as instant coffee , so presumably nothing to worry about.
