My grandpa got a copy of Canon’s 5D Mk II lately, and I got a chance to play around with it. It’s truly difficult to describe just how incredible this thing is. It does ISO 25,600, and does it better than my 20D does 3200. That, with 21 megapixels of resolution, incredible detail, and an utterly spectacular field of view and depth of field, just make for an unbelievable camera. I’d love to pick one up myself, but of course it’s a little cost prohibitive.

Sunday, June 7th, 2009Openmoko Neo Freerunner Review
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008On July 4, 2008, Openmoko released the Neo Freerunner, their second generation free/open-source cell phone. On July 5, I ordered one. In the two weeks between placing the order and getting the phone, I went looking for reviews, and much to my surprise, couldn’t find any. Even Gizmodo and the like, as of this writing, seem to lack an actual review of the phone itself: all I see is software reviews, apparently based on development snapshots, rather than the software stack that actually ships with the phone. For lack of any reviews on the regular sites, I’ve decided to go ahead and write my own.
