NEX5N Discounted right now

Just a heads up for Americans who wanted to purchase a NEX5 because of Tynan's review. The body is on sale for $369 to Americans (no lenses included). I'm not American so I couldn't pick this up but I figure there might be a few people here thinking about getting one.

Not trying to spam. I think that is an affiliate link but I don't know who gets it, I tried to get rid of the affiliate link and the price went back up.

The NEX 5R uses phase detect AF, which is a lot faster than the contrast detection used previously.  It's the same AF system used in SLRs, which are a lot faster focusing. Unless you plan to use manual focus only (most dont) I'd go for the 5R or 6.

The Great Brain

Right now I'm sitting at Casa De Luz waiting for my friend to get here. I'm using a cool wireless card from Sprint, which is my main internet connection now. For those of you who are nerds, I downloaded at 160k/sec while driving in my car. Pretty wild.

Anyway, sorry for not writing frequently lately. I've been a little burnt out I guess. Today I did something a bit different and I recorded myself reading the first chapter of the best kids book in the land. As I mention in the recording, this book is pretty much responsible for me being who I am. If you want to ensure that your kids don't come out like me, definitely don't let them read this book.

There's actually a whole series. I think that the chapter I read is one of the less interesting ones, but I chose it because it's first and I'm one of those people who hates spoilers of any kind.

Gangs, Programming, Marketing, Sony

Thanks to my Sony ebook reader I've been reading a lot lately. I've been fortunate to have been recommended great books, so now I'll pass along the favor and recommend them to you.

Gang Leader for a Day

I first heard of Sudhir Venkatesh's work when I read Freakonomics. The gist of it is that he decided to study gangs, so he headed to Chicago's most dangerous projects and wandered through them. The gang members caught him, held him overnight, and rather than killing him, allowed him to tag along for SIX YEARS while he studied them.
