Yeah it is wretched. I am very partial to Asus though, so I was willing to deal with it. Will be picking up another mx anywhere to circumvent that trackpad.

For these little guys (his brother is hiding so only one of them is in the pic).

Did you take that photo? Awesome shot! If you did, what camera did you use?

Thanks! (And yep, I took it).

It was my Canon 5D Mark II with the 24-70 2.8L lens and a flash bounced off of the wall behind me. ISO 800 I believe.

I really wish I didn't sell my Macro, I could have gotten a lot closer shots!

FWIW I used to mail order crickets from here for my pet anole: http://www.flukerfarms.com/100countcrickettube.aspx About $0.10 each including shipping. More lively than the ones I could get at the local pet store for more/cricket.

Thanks! I'll give those a shot. My local pet store always runs short and no matter how much I try and stock up, I can barely get enough.

I'd feel awful if my poor little guys ever went hungry : /

Ah, I should have known it was a 5DMkII. Nice shot, love the DOF.

Picked this up today at the Apple Store. Changed my life already! No more carrying around a bulking wallet and the discomfort of sitting on it! Just carry my drivers license and debit card!

Nice. That is what I want to move towards eventually with the hex wallet..but that thing has no camera yet.

A free weekend is dangerous on the wallet. Picked up this old school apple ipod leather case that apparently fits my new classic. Can't wait to get it!

Nice!

Best advice: Stay off of automatic and program mode! Start with a priority mode such as shutter or aperture priority (I suggest shutter priority, its easier to see the effects) and learn to use it well. Once you master it switch to the other priority mode, learn the effects, then switch to full manual, LEARN TO READ THE EXPOSURE METER (its really simple) and then learn how to control ISO.

I know that sounds like a mouthful but you'll pick it up fast if you learn those basics right away.

Where did you buy it? It's sold under the name of "T2i" in the US, so I'm just curious as to why you're referring to it by its European name. :)

I shall steal this advice. I've been slowly working my way through my T3i's modes, but I've been leaving those manual modes for last. May as well jump in now.:cool:
