Looking for cheap HDMI cables?

Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY Monster Cable HDMI cables!  I was just on the Future Shop community forums and was reading through a recent thread on the subject.  Obviously, the mention of MonoPrice.com is against forum rules so you won’t hear of competitors.  Future Shop sells this overpriced stuff and it’s really quite sad [...]

Out with the old, in with the new

Today, we retired our old DVD player after 4 years of service.
I still remember reading about this player around 4 years ago and finally buying it here at Visions.  It was one of the first DVD players to feature upconversion from 480i to 1080i and 720p.  These days, upconverting DVD players are common.  I’m glad [...]

Anna and I took Claire trick-or-treating in the same place we took her last year.  The area is very dense and we can cover many homes in such a short distance.  This is a major townhouse development built around 2002 and all doors are accessible from outdoors unlike an apartment building.  It’s perfect for small [...]

Canon’s next full-frame DSLR

The rumour mill is going like crazy but it’s still all speculation.  Everyone’s thinking it could be the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
Canon just released a teaser on their site:

Here’s my previous post on the subject.  Now I’m not sure whether to save for this full-frame camera (and not be able to use our 17-85mm [...]
