Anyone in the market for a good mirrorless interchangeable lens camera? The excellent Sony NEX-6 is on sale, as this model is being replaced with the new a6000 (which I just bought).
A Ridiculous Deal On The Mirrorless Camera For Everyone
eta: MIrrorless means it's like a DSLR but it lacks a moveable mirror that sends light to the viewfinder. As a result mirrorless cameras are much smaller than a DSLR. The NEX-6 has an LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder.
3d printing pen - want!
Ooh'. I am!
I thought it looked neat, until I noticed how all the pictures and videos of it working are close-ups with the top of the pen out of frame. I have the sneaky suspicion that you have to manually push the plastic dowel through pen with your other hand. It's kind of a glorified glue gun.
Isn't it just the 3Doodler, but a little smaller?
If anyone runs into a working motherboard for a Dell Inspiron 1545 for under $20 let me know. I'm randomly checking eBay and Craigslist, but you never know.
I gave my sister my Galaxy Nexus phone that I bought internationally, and it won't recognise a Jamaican SIM. I bought it internationally because of the lock question--what could be stopping it? Would the fact that she used the SIM in an old style Blackberry be relevant?
I am thinking this is something she needs to chase down in JA, though. It shouldn't be a phone problem...
(Her BB connects to TMobile (my provider) seamlessly when she's here. I don't know.)
Near as I can tell, there's no reason it shouldn't work. My guess is it's something with the SIM, not the phone.
She's tried 2 separate account SIMs now (one not BB), so I told her to take it to her provider.
Would any folks with TomTom around these parts be interested in the news that Brian Blessed's voice is now available for the service? [link]
