And not even a week on, after see Mexbearpigs post, I purchased this -
Canon%20A1%20SLR%2035mm.jpg

Went for the A-1 instead on the AE-1. Seemed a bit more flexible.

neotouchipodtouch2g.png


the switcheasy neotouch case.

my brother got a new computer for college and it came with a free ipod touch 2G so i got the ipod; my first ever. i really am liking the neotouch case. i'm a little annoyed at the screen protector, not because it's a crappy one - the PureAnti-Reflect one from switcheasy is working out fine - i just need to reapply it.

that's a fantastic case. loved it when i had a touch. too bad switcheasy totally dropped the ball with the iPhone 4. :(

Meh I prefer to order them from Amazon and similar places. I just resell them once the semester is over for more than 50% of what I paid.

Got me textbooks from Chegg.com

Its a great rental place. Works like Netflix. Just rent what you need and at the end of the rental period print off a free shipping label and mail them back.

I have three books from them this semester and it has already saved me over $125.

eCampus.com is also good for renting school books

Why is the numeric keyboard the only touch screen?:confused:

I swear I made a post last night..guess I didnt press submit.

It would be very gimmicky having a full touchscreen keyboard with no feedback. It works okay for the iPhone but it being full sized would be very weird. The keypad on the right is kind of gimmicky, entering numbers isnt as fast as it used to be. However, I dont do heavy number entering lol. The best part is that it switches between 3 screens. My eclipse - a mix of a few numbers, programmable keys for websites. I have facebook for the social key, nba for sports, yahoo for news etc. Then it has a media screen which is programmable to open any application or folder plus media controls, and other buttons. Then ofcourse the third one is the number pad.

Loving the keyboard so far. And the magic mouse even though Im using it on windows.

I just made my first meal with it, it worked out pretty good for chicken. This will motivate me to cook more and eat healthier!

Bit the bullet and ordered it:

Men's Tissot PRC200 Chronograph Watch
Product Code: T17158652


t17158652wrist.jpg


I was looking at Omega watches for a while (at nearly 10 times the price) but couldn't justify spending that much on a watch when I really don't have the money. I would needed to have taken it out on finance and I didn't really want to be paying off a watch for the next 2/3 years.

This watch was within my budget as I received money for graduating from University.

I know it's not in the same league as an Omega or Tag, but it's a good brand and Swiss made. It receives overwhelming positive reviews online - I just hope I like it!
