Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse

Over the years I’ve used a lot of different computer mice and have never really been completely satisified with any that I’ve used until now. About two weeks ago my Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer stopped working so I had to find a replacement. I decided to order the Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse mainly because it has a laser instead of an optical sensor which means much more precise tracking. Here’s a list of features that it has which really make it stand out among other mice:
- Logitech MX Laser Engine - The world’s first laser mouse making optical mice obsolete. This makes it 20 times more sensitive to surface detail and also so it will work on glass and polished wood-grained surfaces without requiring a mousepad.
- Lithium-Ion Battery - Say goodbye to AA batteries and say hello to a battery that never needs replacing.
- Illuminated 4-level Battery Indicator - Easily tell when the battery is about to die so you can charge it before it runs out of juice.
- Rapid-Charging Base Station - A slick looking recharging station makes it so you don’t have have to worry about plugging in any wires to recharge it. Just set it on top of the stand and it will start charging.
- Superior Grasp - Perfectly contoured to the shape of your hand…not too big nor too small.
- Application Switch - A button in between the forward/back buttons that opens a window of the programs that are running so you can quickly change over to a different application.
I have been happy thus far and am very impressed with this mouse. If you’re not pleased with your current mouse I highly recommend picking one up as you will not be disappointed. It is compatable on both Windows and Mac platforms. It retails for $79.95 but I was able to find it on Buy.com for only $54.97 shipped!

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT

I’m still alive in case some of you thought that something happened to me. :) I’ve been really busy the past few weeks with work and haven’t had a lot of free time. Back in January, I took a two-week trip up to Maryland and while I was there I visited family, went snowboarding at Wisp and went to see a Navy Hockey game.
I just purchased Canon’s new EOS Digital Rebel XT. I had been planning on getting a Digital Rebel for several months then when I discovered that Canon was going to be coming out with a newer model I decided to wait until the XT was released. I chose this model due to all of the features it offers and since my wife and I already have an EOS Rebel 2000 (35mm), we can use the EF lenses we had since they’re compatible with both cameras.
Unfortunately, it’s been raining a lot here the past few days so I haven’t had a chance to take some photos outside and really test it out. I’m going to Las Vegas on Wednesday and am planning on visiting Death Valley, Hoover Dam, and taking a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon so I’m sure I’ll be putting it to good use.

Say Hello to My Little Friend

My iPod from FreeiPods.com finally came this morning! Not a bad deal considering it’s worth $299 and it took less than an hour of my time to get. Gratis had emailed the tracking number to me last Wednesday and I’ve been anxiously awaiting it’s arrival the past week! It was delivered via FedEx and made it’s way from Shanghai, China -> Anchorage, AL -> Indianapolis, IN -> Greensboro, NC -> Wilmington, NC then finally to Carolina Beach, NC.

As usual, Apple did a superb job with their packaging: a cube that lifted out of a square cover (as you can see in the above photos) which had little compartments for each piece that was included. It’s brand spankin’ new and is a 20 GB (4th generation) model that can hold up to 5,000 songs. Now I just need to get Griffin’s iTrip so I can listen to all of my music in my Xterra directly off my iPod. No more burning CDs and having to change them while driving!
