The I.T. Life

I’ve been a Sony fan for a very (very) long time, probably pre-playstation. Somewhere over the past 10 years though, Sony has lost me, perhaps it was when they just couldn’t get a good MP3 player out (before the iPod) , perhaps it was my dislike for there phones, or my further dislike of there DSLR brand (though I love there point and shoot cameras). Because of this mixed relationship, I’m going to let myself get excited for a new Sony product, a honeycomb powered tablet. Aside from being like other tables and playing android games, they say this will run original PS1 games, which really excites me (silent hill here I come!). I just hope they make there focus on a amazing table that plays games, and don’t try to make a big PSP that has apps.

Sir Howard Stringer (the big cheese at Sony) had a minor slip of the tongue during a WSJ interview. He mentioned that the issues in Japan may delay there shipment of camera sensors to Apple, which likely means they are providing the sensors for the next iPhone. I really hope this is true because though I love my iPhone it doesn’t have the best low light shots, and I’ve always been a Sony camera fan.

I wanted to do a quick update on my wishlist. A lot of it came true one way or another, and the parts that didn’t are being taken care of.

• Under Armour: I got a great Under Armour Cold Gear hoodie, and a generic pair of thermal underwear.
• Thumb drive… No, and not gonna order one either. No real need, but I still drool over the Iron Keys.
• New Monitor… No, but I did order a Dell Inspiron XPS 9000 last week, (and a Mini 10, but thats not for me) and it comes with a free 23″ LCD. So, I gave myself this. But this was a good review gift, not, Christmas. Also, waiting on financing to be approved.
• Blue-Ray Player…. Yes Indirectly, Beth and I received a lot of Christmas money, so we bought a PS3. Hooray!
• Water Filtration, Stove, Watch.. No, No, No. However, MEC carries the watch I love now… so… well see what happens. If the computer falls through, I will probably go buy this.
• Headlamp… No, but MEC still carries the one I want, and I found a cheaper one that has great reviews, so, I may buy this next pay.
• Truck… No, and I’m actually starting to think a SUV is more practical, especially if we stay a single vehicle family. So I’m looking at the Nissan Path Finders, or possibly a Armada.
