My (short) Christmas List



This list is short (and clickable) :

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1

If anyone spots this particular camera in a factory rebuilt version, and it is half price or less, pls let me know. Or better yet, just order it and surprise me :o)

Do I really NEED it ?...probably not till something else breaks.

But, it is the only thing like it on the market & perfect for me.

Built-in wide angle lens point-n-shoot AND great low light shots. Auto stabilization features for low light indoor no-flash shots. 4X optical zoom . And it is little enuf for me to take traveling. And it uses SD cards, of which I already have a whole deck.

The wide angle aspect would be great for these tiny condo rooms I have to photo. The low light and auto stabilization quality would be great for those evening Christmas boat parade shots AND cathedral mosaics type photos.

Well, just in case Santa doesn't see this list, I will continue to ck Ubid, my favorite rebuilt gettin' place. But since the Catholic Pope is blogging, hey, I figured that Santa might be blogging and reading blogs too.

What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
