Two lessons learnt,
1. My 300D’s LCD screen is definitely too bright. As a result I underexposed quite a few of the shots.
2. Using AI Servo is a bad idea for sports like frisbee and football. Since players’ movements are multi-dimensional the camera losses its focus too easily.
Furthermore, I should check if the UV filter is lowering my Bigma’s focusing capabilities…
My Dell Axim x50v PDA with Koss KSC75 Headphones
It is such a great thing that PDA can be used as a MP3 player–yeah I actually started listening to music on-the-go after I got my new PDA. Yet it was hardly an easy task at the begining; nothing wrong with the PDA–it is the headphones that caused so much trouble. Now I would certainly say choosing headphones is an art. Here is a mini review of the headphones I have tried:
 Koss P4 Price: Cheapest ($4.99) Sound: Decent quality; no leakage Egronomics: Comfortable but the foam covers easily fall off; earbugs are not convenient carrying around |
 Sony MDR-J10 Price: Medium ($9.99) Sound: Barely acceptable quality; no leakage Egronomics: Very comfortable and convenient |
 Koss KSC75 Price: Most expensive ($13.99) Sound: Very good; heavy leakage Egronomics: Surprising comfortable |
I first got the Koss P4; it is decent but the foam covers are too much of a trouble. I exchanged it for the Sony MDR-J10 expecting good sound qualify from Sony–not so, even though it is very comfortable and convenient. In end I went for KSC75, which despite its heavy sound leakage really makes listening to music enjoyable.
To everyone who has my cellphone number–I have just changed it to 510-277-2863. Thank you for your attention.
Concerning the “EBay over-bidding Mystery” Akerlof’s suggestion is to send emails asking those bidders why are they willing to pay such a price.

Ebay auction–Amazon gift certificates
If you look at the list for a few seconds you will notice that quite a few of the bids have gone over the certificate’s value. The question is, why?

Call me crazy as you wish, but the Axim x50v I just got is absolutely fascinating; if I am to describe it in three words it would be “this is it!” Now I am really able to read journals and comics.
