Out tonight with when we came across a horribly overpriced oxymoron!

CVS sells a Disposable Digital Camera! Yes, a One-Time-Use digital camera! DIGITAL CAMERA! I know, I said what the fuck when I saw it too!

The camera is made by a company called Pure Digital Technologies, Inc. located in San Francisco, CA. AT first glance, it just looks like any other small digital camera. It’s got a built in flash and even a 1 inch color LCD on the rear.

Playing around with the camera, it has the ability to take a picture, review and if you chose, delete the picture. One downside is that when you delete a picture, you cant go back and delete earlier pictures. Once you take a picture, your stuck with the previous pic. This sucks for a digital camera!

CVS was asking $20.00 for the camera too, and that does not include processing/developing.

My recommendation is to just get a few disposable cameras, or spend the extra money and get yourself an inexpensive digital camera. You’re better off with a classic film digital camera which costs half as much and I would imagine the quality is higher.

Soon to come, pictures! Featuring of the inner workings of the camera. I’d have em for you now, but I just got a nasty shock trying to open the thing and I think I’ll wait until I have some insulated tools to try again 🙂 Worst case scenario, I can make a nasty stun-gun out of the thing 😉

When I got home the other night, I found a bag left on my bed. It contained a battery operated electric screwdriver. “Cool” I thought as I ripped it open and started to put it together… Curious what the metal clip at the top held in, I pulled it out and popped off the top, only to have the gears and grease-covered innard fall out onto my bed! ACK!

After putting it all down and thinking it through, I picked the driver back up and proceeded to reassemble it one piece at a time.. Successfully thank god..

Now, why would Black & Decker make something with a metal clasp out in the open that,as I later realized, was intended for authorized techicians only. and imagine if I wasn’t mechanically inclined, or couldn’t figure out how to replace the parts.

I still don’t know how I got it either 😉 Nobody’s mentioned that they got it for me, or that they left it on my bed.

I finally met this weekend. I went to hang out for the day, and I must say the day was eventfull…

On my way there, I stopped at a “lookout” point which was really neat. I pulled out the camera and took a few random shots of the landscape, rocks, etc.. I havent reviewed the pictures yet, but I will soon and if any are decent I’ll post em.

Met up with Sarah and we went out for starbucks. Throughout the day, we hit up Borders, Tower Records, Pearl Crafts and Wal-Mart. We almost made a stop at my favorite place on earth, Ikea, but upon realizing I was serious about bringing in the camera, Sarah chickened out 🙂 I mean, come one… So? There’s a chance you’ll run into someone you know while running around Ikea, taking fucked up pictures in the many “sets” they have conveniently built for you. lol

Though all my shopping, I picked up a book on Magic Tricks, a[nother] tripod for my cameras, and the movie Anti Trust.

After Hibachi dinner, and a late night run to Wally world, and a few games of pool (I actually won 2/4 games!!) we closed the evening watching AntiTrust… I didn’t plan on staying as long, and wound up leaving about 2AM… Surprisingly, it took almost 2 hours to get out there and about 45 minutes to get back home 🙂

Cute eh?

This is what 2 bored people do at 2 AM in Yahoo! Doodle pad..

Thanks for doodlin’ it for me 🙂 (Though I helped… and it was my idea! lol)
