DIY Solid State Drive
I remember reading Gizmodo a long time ago where they had a CF DIY solid state drive. Turns out someone made a SDHC version! If you click the link above it'll take you to the original article. This link below:

Takes you to the people who are selling it in the US. Totally plan to swap this into my laptop sometime so it'll become more damage resistant. Right now it's lost the mounting instructions to my hard drive. At least I know my data is in there doing OK.

HipShot Lomo Camera Bag - A Review!
Even though I just bought this I'm including it in my buy list of 2009. The Lomography Hipshot Camera Bag is designed for their LC-A
This is the camera the bag is designed for.
The bag comes in two colors as pictured above. I actually use the bag for a GX200.
INITIAL THOUGHTS:
I ordered the bag from Amazon and it didn't come with instructions. I was able to poke around for the pdf at the lomo website. I was going to knock down the bag a few points for not fitting as snug as I would want to. The Hipshot camera bag feels like it's made out of leather but is actually water resistant plastic. Everything feels well made and sturdy. There's also a very nice cushy feel to it and it makes me feel confident that if my camera was dropped inside of this bag it would fair ok. The 2nd compartment wasn't big enough to hold my slave flash but I was able to store extra batteries, cables, and a cleaning cloth.
At full retail price $35 I think this bag is defitnately worth it. I broke a point and shoot camera by having it in my pocket so I'm willing to have an camera bag on my hip even if it stands out a little funky like. You can also shoulder carry it but I'm scared of having it swing around. Even though I'm carrying around a point and shoot the bag does make me look like I'm serious about my photos so I don't feel too goofy with it. I might do away with the orange strap though, it just doesn't match what I wear!
Drawing Classes
In highschool I had an early interest in web design and photoshop. I didn't have the best skills but I did make a few club fliers and other advertisements in my early college years. I then gave up on it with the thinking that I should just give my best ideas to my more talented friends and let them run with that. Over time I discovered that even though they may think I have an awesome money making idea for a tshirt the project is going to be low priority for whatever else is on there minds.
I figure the best way to jump into it besides the continuing education classes in Photoshop would to acutally learn how to draw. All the community college classes were full our not compatible with my schedule so this is what I found:
The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: A Course in Enhancing Creativity and Artistic Confidence: $16
Art Academy of San Diego: $230 For 7 Weeks
San Diego Art Dept.: $180 For 6 Weeks
UCSD Extension: $275 Semester
Not sure about teaching myself but I might pick up the book anyways since I like reading about how the brain works. Art Academy I found on google but it seems like everyone love the art dept. Totally not paying for the UCSD Extension class. One thing the art academy has over the art dept is spray can classes!
I'll update when I take my first class.

It's official
I'm going to be blogging my inspirations here. That will be a good use for the blog AND I missed writing about my buy list.
Ok Truth Time
So I first started this blog after reading a bunch of blogs about making money online. I decided to set up a blog with a bunch of my random interests and then try to get into a pay per post type of scheme.
I ended up not doing it in a way where I didn't qualify for ads. The blog has been dead ever since. I can't blame myself too much with the amount of projects I'm involved in.
I have my San Diego Gaslamp and Night Life blog.
http://www.sandiegogaslampandnightlife.com/index.html
and you can tell by my myspace photos I have more events attended this year than I've had time to write about.

I'm also planning a world tour for The Dj SG
www.thedjsg.com
and the venue and logistics coordinator for
www.filamfest.com
I'm sad to see this blog so dead because I love what I did with the layout but I'm not sure what this blog can be about anymore. Maybe I can make this a meta blog with commentary about the blog posts I've written or updates on my other websites or something. Hmm I mean I guess that's what Friend Feed is for but I'll try to add some commentary and keep my buy list alive.
It'll help my SEO at least lol.
