Oh boy, do I want one of these… It’s a digital motion picture camera that is supposed to have dynamic range and resolution to die for. It’s only 9 pounds and accepts the standard mount in cine circles (P/L mount… Zeiss anyone?) And yes, it is very expensive (17.5 K for the body plus lenses, battery, etc) but this technology only promises to get cheaper and cheaper. Who knows, maybe I’ll resurrect my film making interest one of these days…

I’ve always had conflicting feelings about gun control. The idea of no one having a gun is appealing, but it’s completely unrealistic to think that it’ll ever happen in the US. There was a rule on the Va. Tech campus that banned guns, but that effectively meant that when someone brought a gun onto campus, they were free to do what they liked. I do believe that if someone was carrying a weapon and was exposed to this, things would have turned out differently. But here’s where my conflict comes in, it only takes one nutjob with a gun to lead to deaths. I think it’s sad that our best option for preventing the huge numbers of deaths is to allow more people to carry weapons, but I can’t think of any way around it. “The numbers” seem to back up the theory that states with easier to get concealed weapons permits discourage violent crime. SIGH, I can only hope that people don’t use this as an excuse to make it easier to create “soft targets” for homicidal maniacs…
