After talking to Reyhan, I decided that I should probably get a 12″ PowerBook. The reason being, if I were to customize an iBook to my liking, it would cost $75 less than an uncustomized PowerBook (with iWork, which I could’ve gotten pre-installed on the iBook.) I’m still trying to make up my mind. This always happens to me, whenever I decide to spend a fairly large amount of money. Especially around this time of year (my birthday.)

I have some great news, too. You see, my dad bought a camcorder when I was in like 3rd grade. It said “digital” all over it, and my dad said that I could connect it to my computer. Well, I never found out how, since the manual gave some crappy instructions on connecting it. Also, since it’s from Sony, it referred to FireWire as “i.Link.” Knwoing that it connected via FireWire would’ve helped a lot. Well, a few months back, I was checking the camera out, and I found a little “flap” and underneath it was a 4-pin FireWire port! This made me remember that it was probably a DV cam (yes, I really was/am that stupid) and I could connect it to a computer!

Recently, I found out that you could connect a DV camcorder to a Mac and edit the video through iMovie. This brings, like, so many ideas into my head. I teested the camera a bit to see how it was. Now, I can make way better vlog posts with the camcorder than I can with my Canon PowerShot. Also, I can probably make short movies. Since it’s a DV cam, I can even use it in iChat, and Delicious Library.

This morning, I saw a report on the news that, to CNN, was important enough for there to be a special segment. It was about a woman who tried to file a lawsuit saying she found a finger in her food at Wendy’s.

“Wendy’s restaurants are hoping business will bounce back now that a woman who claimed she found a finger in her bowl of chili has been arrested and investigators say the whole case was likely a hoax.”

This reminds me a lot of someone who tried to frame my dad of a hit-and-run accident. My dad hadn’t even gone out of the house that day, let alone go to the mall, like the police report said. We found out later on that there’s a group that targets taxi-drivers and limousine-drivers to file lawsuits againt.

This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, “finger food.”

Thanks to Lou, I got a free Flickr Pro Account! He was holding a contest to see who could answer some questions about his blog. This is so awesome, since I will have more photos when I get my PowerBook. Also, Lou called me something that only some people in my class call me, Shahizzle.
