Finally
Canon introduced a new VDSLR – the T2i/550D. Think of it as the 7D’s little brother.
18MP stills, APS-C sized sensor (that’s 35mm film sized), 1080p24/25/30, 720p50/60, H.264.
-$800 for the body. (YES!!!)
If you are in the market for a camcorder for church… Don’t look past this. Yes it’s designed to be a still camera, but head to this Vimeo page (or check out the video below) and look at the videos from it’s big brother. The video capabilities of this $800 machine will be nearly identical to 7D ($1800)
Here is a 13 page in depth look at a pre production model.

The WhiteBoard Sessions
Don’t. Miss. This.
I had the greatest honor of partnering with my long time friend for this freshman event in 2008. Needless to say, it is truly a one of a kind event with a broad stroke of speakers again this year. You will regret skipping out on WIBO. It’s in a world class facility blocks form where I grew up. So thankful Ben will put the 757 on the map.
Welcome back Ben.

Nike+
Since Nov. 6 I have been on a tear to lose weight. My pastor challenged me and the winner got a steak dinner. The contest was until the day before Thanksgiving and I lost by one freakin pound!! But, I knew I was in it for the long haul. Since Nov. 6 I have lost 24 lbs. and I have 39 to go. I owe it all to Nike+. Mixing tech and working out was just what I needed.
It works with all iPod Nano’s (3rd Gen. and newer) iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS (only).
If you don’t have an iPod no worries, check out the SportBand.
So we have some options:
- Nike+ Sports Kit $30.00 ( iPodNano 3rd gen and up, iPod Touch)
- Nike+sensor $20.00 (as replacement or for iPhone 3GS
- SportBand $60.00 (No iPod needed)

With 4GB of built-in storage and a mini SD slot for expansion you can bring every single game from the best classic consoles with you. Of course in typical all encompassing gadget style you can also play movie files, audio files, use the built-in FM radio, view jpg images, Read E-books, do voice recording etc…
