I would very much like a Nikon D800. But even a D700 would be a terrific upgrade over my D90. I would very much like to be able to shoot my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 G as a normal lens. On my D90, it’s too cropped for a lot of what I want to shoot with it, so I have to step back.
When D700s can be found for about $1,200 used, I’m in. Right now, they’re $2,200 new on Amazon, which is too high — for the $800 difference I’d get a D800.
This may not be forever, but I think I can do without Java on my MacBook Air. Here’s what happened:
John Gruber linked to this today. So I set about disabling Java in Safari (easy, done) and Chrome (harder, but done). But in this SuperUser article, Jeff Atwood suggests going further, saying, “But my general recommendation is to uninstall Java — you really don’t want Java on your system unless you absolutely, positively have to have it .. because there are so many new exploits for it.”
That’s probably good advice from Jeff Atwood. I don’t depend on Java for what I do, so I’ll just get rid of it. Turns out, Java is reportedly hard to uninstall in OS X (I’m running Lion), but you can disable it. I deleted my /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/ directory at the direction of this article.
My wife told me this morning, wonder of wonders, that she wants to cancel her one-disc-per-month Blockbuster.com DVD rental membership. She says she’s getting about one disc per week and it’s not because she’s sitting on them. She says they take forever to get from Tampa to us.
She says her Kindle has good prices on Amazon movie rentals and she’d like to watch those on our TV. So I moved the Roku box from Leyna’s room to the living room and canceled our Blockbuster.com membership. They didn’t make it hard, but the “Yes, continue cancelation” hyperlinks were certainly small and legion.
Here’s a pic of the cancelation reasons presented by Blockbuster during the cancelation process:
