My First Cell Phone

It is so amazing how a cell phone can connect us with our loved ones in seconds.  Just a dial and there you go, talking to your family and friends instantly.

I began using a cell phone in 2000.  It was a Siemens phone that I bought for about a $100.  That was my first gadget acquired from my salary.  I did not subscribe to monthly plans so i only used call and text cards.  From then on, I replaced and bought cell phones depending on the features I wanted.  Although phone features like web access, mp3 player, camera/video feature, and email are essential to users who are gadget geeks, I am contented with the simple call, text, and camera features. Now I am using a Samsung cell phone.  As long as I can make a call without problems at all, I am satisfied.

How about you?  What is your first cell phone?

"Cannot Read Device"

This is unusual. I am uploading pictures from my Canon PowerShot digital camera but nothing is happening. The prompt is "cannot read device". What is going on? The batteries are good and my camera is fine as well. I did not drop it or anything. This is the second time the problem occurred. Do you think the camera's cable or the port is the problem? Ugh! I am so upset. Does it mean I need to get a new one? :) There are Canon digital cameras on sale out there, you know.

Gadget 1#: Sony Handy Camcorder

We are very excited with the new toy at home :). One present in my wish list has been granted. I got myself a Sony Handy Camcorder. I bought it from Fry's Electronics in Arlington. It is an 80GB hard disk drive, 60x optical / 2000x digital zoom, and a touch panel display. With the help of a software, I can do video editing to convert videos to DVD. Pretty neat huh?

I am so happy for this video came because I can now shoot videos especially on our upcoming vacation back home, which I am planning to have this year. What makes this handy camcorder special to me is that, it is a Sony product. I am working on familiarizing myself with the video camera operation. And I am practicing shooting videos too :) Hopefully I can make a pretty one soon.

Buying A New Gadget

Yehey! I am so excited. My honey and I agreed to buy a beautiful gadget this month. Though I wish it should have been a laptop but I am happy with what we are buying - something that is very useful in travel especially in going to beautiful places with the family. Right now we are looking for better deals from online shops and at the stores. We are still trying to watch our budget since we do not have that much for the holidays. Thrift shopping is what we would like to do. So we are looking forward to find a good quality gadget.
