Living la vida future

Woot!

Earlier last week Spring mentioned something about our cell phone plan allowing us to get new phones for free. I wasn't interested unless one of the new free phones came with a camera.

There was—the Sony Ericsson Z520a.

One of the features is the “panoramic picture” (as you can see above), which is something that my current camera can't do.

But like all digital cameras, it tends to suck in low light conditions, as you can see from my first photo I took:

And with no camera mount, it'll be difficult to take low-light shots with this thing. But hey, it's a camera, in a phone. It's the future, now.

Now all I want is my flying car.

Update on Thursday, May 11^th, 2006

Don't bother getting one of these phones. While the features are nice, they're quite fragile and the display is prone to wig out if dropped.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.
