Photo-A-Day #929 10/24/07

I went back to work today. It sure was a shock waking up at 5:30am and getting showered and ready to go to work. I ended up falling back asleep and waking back up at 5:50am. I got dressed in a hurry and was out the door. After not commuting for a week I certainly didn’t miss that. But it was nice to get into the office and see everyone. They were very excited about seeing baby photos. I loaded them onto my Zune so I could share them easily.

During the day Dad installed the new toilet and fixed the other one. Sweet. The color in the back bathroom finally came out pretty well. So that was cool too. Here is a photo of the tile, toilet and wall color. That bathroom is going to have a beach theme. So sand for the floor and Dark Lime for the wall color, all appliances are white and so is all the trim.

Today Allison and her mom did some cleaning around the house and went out to do some shopping. The place looked really nice when I got home. I think we’ll keep Mimi Marcia around for a while.

Tonight we had a visit from Mrs. K. She brought a couple of very nice gifts for Eva including a Go & Grow Rider. That will be a fun toy for Eva to scoot around on. My mom took a nice picture of me and Eva.

I took one of Eva too. I propped her up between the cushions on the love seat. She was starting to droop a bit.

VIEWTY, a 5.1MP camera phone from LG

So I know what I want this holiday season. LG has a touch screen phone called the VIEWTY. It is the LG KU990 and it has already started selling in Europe. Why do other countries get these phones first? I don’t get it.

Anyway from what I have been reading the VIEWTY has a 5.1MP camera built in with Flash and autofocus. The shutter lag on this phone is 2 seconds. That is much better than the 5 to 10 seconds on most other phones. You also have settings that you can change on the camera phone like white balance and size and quality. These are features of a digital camera and virtually unseen on camera phones. LG really has a great item on their hands with the VIEWTY.

The VIEWTY also features a touch screen and writing text messages with the VIEWTY is much better than other touch screen models because there is a tactile feedback when the user types a letter on the keyboard.

For video settings you have many options as well and can even record at 120fps and when you playback at 30fps you can get a ‘slow motion effect’. Very very cool.

I am hoping that the VIEWTY will make its way into my stocking this Christmas.
