Ordered: KODAK PLAYSPORT Zx5 video camera ...

Hello.

So it has been a few months since I've been thinking about getting myself a small video camera. Not a big HandyCam type, but the small home movie type.

I have been researching this for a bit now and it seems there are only three good options available to me for the amount of money that I want to spend. The GoPro series, the Flip Series and the Kodak Zi8. The latter has been in active development and had a few recently upgraded models available.

The GoPro was a bit expensive and was designed for extreme sports and fast action recording. Surprisingly, The Flip wasn't available anywhere and I read somewhere that the company has gone belly up. So, the only real choice for me was the Kodak models.

Kodak has a few models available right now but what I had a good look at was the KODAK PLAYSPORT Video Camera. It looked good and the specs were nice enough. FULL HD 1080p recording. HD 720p@60fps for fast action recording. Dustproof, shockproof and waterproof down to 10feet. I read a few only reviews, watched a few YouTube videos reviews and I was sold.

So last week I got on the internet and ordered myself the KODAK PLAYSPORT Video Camera Zx5. I went for the BLACK version. Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals were in full swing. I crashed the party as well and got a steep discount. Good timing I guess.

My camera has shipped and is on the way here now. Can't wait to get my hands on this and shoot some baby videos. Looks like I can do exactly that later this week.

Also, I guess now I need to familiarize myself with some video editing software. Come to think of it, I have never even opened up iMovie, ever. Not once.

would appreciate if you could point me in the direction for home video editing. Nothing fancy, just trimming and adding audio tracks and stuff. Thanks.

The Batmobile: Which one is your favorite ???

Hello.

The Batmobile. Every kid's dream car. Every man's fantasy ride. You have to admit, it is one smoking cool car!

The Batmobile is the automobile of DC Comics superhero Batman. The car has evolved along with the character from comic books to television and films. Kept in the Batcave, which it accesses through a hidden entrance, the Batmobile is a gadget-laden vehicle used by Batman in his crime-fighting activities.

The Batmobile has gone through a lot of changes over the years since I started reading Batman comics when I was kid. One after the other, The Batmobile has progressively become more tough, more high-tech, more sleek, more bad-ass and a lot more weaponized! The latest iteration of the The Batmobile, the Tumbler, looks wicked cool and completely different and unique from any other Batmobile we have ever seen, and we have seen a few over the years in comic books, cartoons, games and live action films.

Here is a picture illustrating the history of The Batmobile. Take your pick!

Everyone has their favorites, and my favorite Batmobile yet is the version Michael Keaton drove in Tim Burton's Batman movie which came out in 1989, That was one good movie and the car was pretty amazing! For me, there has never been a Batmobile to beat this one.

I know that this version looks less tough, less bad-ass, less high-tech, less military, less intimidating, less practical and maybe even less realistic than the current Tumbler Batmobile and I don't really know why I like this better than others. Maybe because it was damn sleek, darkest black and dead silent. All in all, pretty gothic looking and awesome!

What is your favorite Batmobile? Seems, everyone has one!

Goodbye, Steve ... you'll be missed !!!

Hello.

Steve Jobs, 1955 - 2011.

You were a man with an extraordinary vision. You were almost single handedly responsible for the huge come back apple made last decade. You were a great CEO and gave us world class computers and magical gadgets. Somewhere in there, you also managed to make Apple one of the most successful technology company on the planet.

Jog station: Tuning in slowly ...

Hello.

After months of procrastination, I have taken up going jogging again. Need to get back in shape and lose some weight.

The frequent coffees that we Maldivians keep having everyday is making us carry a few extra kilos. It kind of creeps up on you. So, the last few years, I have tried my best to do some form of exercise, be it jogging, swimming or going to the gym.

First, I tried the gym, but soon realized that it was not for me. I can not seem to stick to the schedule and I did not want to pay the monthly fees if I cannot make it to the gym on time for every session. I have heard that gyms give you huge discounts if you pay for 3 months or more, because statistically, you are not going to show up for all sessions, if at all!

Later, I tried swimming. I went to go to the track area behind STELCO. When I started, I was just clumsily dog paddling across the track. After a few months I learned how to streamline my body, how to keep my head just below the water level and breath by turning my head sideways. Managed to learn all this by watching Total Immersion videos on YouTube. However, I was not able to practice these techniques for long. The track area where everyone in the island goes swimming got so polluted that I started getting rashes. My doctor made me stop when I got my second ear infection. That track area is heavily overused and miserably under-maintained. Not to mentioned all sorts of oils they keep dumping around there.

My latest attempt at exercising is jogging. Actually, I used to go jogging quite regularly about two years ago. I stopped because people kept telling me that swimming would be twice as effective than jogging. Now that swimming is out, I am back jogging, and this time around, I plan to stick to it. One good thing about jogging is that I can listen my "motivational" music when jogging, it kind of gives me the extra boost I frequently seem need. It is nice.

I jog around the outdoor cricket pitch in front of the sports complex. Back in the day, I could easily do at least 11 laps. Nowadays, I can barely do 9, that is on a good day. I am trying to slowly increase my lap count to 13. May be add a lap every week or so. I have it on good authority that 13 laps around the pitch is equivalent to one round around the whole islands of Malé. That is around 5.2 Kilometers. The general idea here is that these runs should whip me back in to shape in no time. I am hopeful, but it is not going to be that easy or that soon. It never is.

I am also contemplating the purchase of some kind of monitoring device to keep track of my runs and workouts. I am researching Nike+iPod and Adidas MiCoach. I want to keep a record of my runs and analyze it in a visually appealing fashion. Those health websites have some good looking graphs showing all sorts of information which I probably will never need, but they sure look good.

Though I have to admit that swimming got me the best results, I am going to keep up jogging. It would be nice if anyone of you decides to takes up jogging, or any form of exercise. Our blogger friend and personal trainer is of the opinion that exercise is good for us. He is usually right about these things.

The speakers story ... what is good ???

Hello.

I have had this Yamaha TSS-10 5.1 Home Theater System for a few years now. It is a good system and I have enjoyed many movies and songs on it.

Here are the main features:
• Decoding of Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II (Movie/Music) for stereo sources to 5.1-channel sound
• 32-bit, high precision, high sound quality DSP LSI (YSS-938 Yamaha original LSI)
• SILENT CINEMA for headphone surround sound enjoyment
• Remote control unit
• High sound quality spruce cone driver for 5 satellite speakers
• Yamaha’s unique YST for powerful bass response (subwoofer)
• Angle adjustable satellite speakers for optimum positioning
• Two optical digital input and 2-channel analog terminals
• Magnetic shielding allows placement near a TV (all speakers)
• Slim, vertical standing amplifier.

You can find more information here and here.

It is not top of the line, but good for a living room or a bedroom.

However, I've had it with 5.1 systems and wires running across and all over the room. I am now thinking of getting myself a good 2.1 system. Hence I have listed my Yamaha TSS-10 5.1 Home Theater System for sale in iBay.

Give me a call if you are interested in buying it.

Since, I am "downgrading" myself to a 2.1 system, I went to Bose show room at Reefside to have a look an available option. I was surprised (and a bit annoyed) that almost all sub-7,000 Rufiyaa Bose system suck really bad. I mean seriously, I am no sound engineer, but my years old Yamaha sounds pretty good compared to Bose systems in the range. I am not saying this just because I am selling my Yamaha, I just was bit let down by Bose. Maybe I was expectation for Bose was a bit high when I walked in to that shop.

I am going to go to Island Music and check out the JBL systems there. I am sure they will sound better than Bose. They have to.

If you have any suggestions or recommendation for a good 2.1 speaker system,  please let me know. Thank you.

A month with the Apple iPad ...

Hello.

I got the iPad as a birthday present about a month ago. I have been using it since and I want to share my experience with you.

You would have definitely heard about or seen the iPad by now, some of you may own one too. It is a portable device sold by Apple Computers to bridge the gap between a smart phone and a computer, negating the need for a netbook.

The package contained a USB chord, a printed user manual with the iPad sitting on top. I thought it would at least come with some kind of a usable cover. It did not. You have to buy it separately, and with so much choice online, I have yet to decide on a purchase.

Unlike a computer, there is no boot up process, it is ready when you are. The iPad feels solid and sturdy and once fired up, it is easy to start using all the apps. You just know what to do, especially if you have used an iPhone before. The software is really fast and very intuitive.  The apps are what makes the iPad experience so enjoyable.

The screen is gorgeous and big enough to surf the internet like with a real computer, without going to mobile version of the websites. I like the fact that, some websites, like Gmail, give you an optimized layout for iPad users.

I mainly use the iPad to surf the net, tweet, check email, read PDFs and catch up on google reader. Here is a list of apps on my iPad. It is pretty limited, so feel free to add anything you think I should check out.

iBooks - I guess this is must if you want to read books and PDF.
iDhivehiSites -  To read websites in dhivehi, like Haveeru.
TweetDeck and Twitterrefic - TweetDeck keeps crashing on me, almost everyday.
GoodReader - Another PDF reader, but this app can read PDF on your computer via WiFi.
Marvel, DC Comics, and Comics - Comics has most of the free comics on Marvel and DC.
IMDB - An app to easily check Internet Movie Database.
Wikipanion - An app to easily read Wikipedia.
Dropbox - Store, edit and sync files in he cloud. See my post about dropbox here.
Evernote -  A note taking app with sync functionality. Very useful.
Flipboard - A visual social media links aggregator. I just installed it.

The battery life is impressive. I have not used it extendedly, but with about 3-4 hours daily, it last 3 days. Not bad at all.

That being said, the iPad is not perfect. Let me tell you my gripes.

It is a bit heavy for extensive use, your hands get tired soon, maybe because the primary purpose of the iPad is not extended narrative reading. The iPad is not as good in sunlight as the Kindle, not even close, you need some kind of shade to be able to use it. If your want to read books, I suggest you get a Kindle.

The iPad has an OKish on-screen keyboard, but if you want to do any serious writing, forget it. You cannot type like how they do in the ads. It is good to write a few sentences at most, if you want to write more, you will have to get the external bluetooth keyboard.

Some people say that the iPad is plagued by WiFi dropout problems. I have not had a single dropout yet, may be the latest software update had it fixed.

I have to admit, when the iPad first came out, I was extremely skeptical. I could not think of a reason to get one or anticipate how it would fit in to my daily life. However, now that I have been playing with it for a while, I can tell you that iPad is an extremely versatile device and a sheer joy to use.

While I have friends who are exited about the gaming ability of the iPad, I know people who use it essentially for email. I have seen photographers using it as a proofing device and I have heard about parents using the iPad to make learning fun for kids. This is not only a device, its a platform, and I think that is what makes it revolutionary.

Reading on the Amazon Kindle ...

Hello.

I'm sure by now, everybody's heard of Amazon Kindle. If you have not, let me tell you. Its and e-reader, an electronic book reader sold exclusively by amazon.com. Amazon Kindle is not the only e-book reader out there. No, there are others, Sony's Reader and  B&N's Nook come to mind.

After doing some research about price, screen size and PDF support, I ended up buying the Amazon Kindle DX. And it is great. It really is a good device. It doesn't do much, but what is does, it does beautifully. Very nice.

Sleek and ergonomic with a 9.7 inch screen, the device is heavier than a small paperback, but lighter than a hardcover book. It is thinner than any physical book you want to read. No more tired hands holding heavy books.

Reading on the E-ink display is like reading a newspaper, good contrast and very easy on the eye. Me being a guy who used to read PDF's on the computer screen, I know a thing or two about eye strain. No more with the Kindle, because it does not have a backlight. Serious reader will appreciate this much more than I can.

Reading is a breeze on the Kindle. And you never loose where you are reading on a book, or multiple books. It remembers where you left off and you can pick up from there on any book. No more dog-eared pages. No more lost bookmarks. you can even write notes in the margins, highlight important parts for reference.

Page turns are a tad slow, but when you get inside what you are reading, you forget about the delivery system, the screen and the buttons – its the characters and the story that really matters.

Yes, I know about the apple iPad. Kindle is not trying to be an iPad. Kindle is a reading device, and by far a superior device at that. For you out there who has a voracious appetite for reading, I highly recommend you consider a Kindle. And for people who wants to multi task, this device is not for you.

If you are like me, there are a lot of books that you want to read. Most of them can be found in e-book format. I'm hoping this would ease the process and let me get some reading done away from my computer and when I'm traveling.

Am currently reading The Bourne Legacy by Eric Van Lustbader. This is good, as I read the three previous books as PDFs on my computer screen.

Enjoy .mkv movies in HD glory ...

Hello ...
With several High-Def movies now available for download ...
I've been try to figure out a way ...
To watch these movies on my 37" Philips TV ...
The problem I was facing was with the file formats ...
As you may know ... most HD movies come as .mkv files ...
And most of the Multi Media players sold today ...
Do not support this format ... not even with latest firmwares ...
So the best and easiest way to play these movies on my TV ...
Was to connect a computer to my TV and fire up VLC ...
However ... connecting a computer to my TV ...
Just to watch HD movies ...was a bit of an overkill for me ...
And so the research began ... to solve this problem ...
My answer came from Western digital ... a reputable company ...
I've been using their products for several years ...
And they've never failed on me ... they've earned my trust ...
They've recently released their Multi Media Player ...
It's called WD TV Live ... and reviews were sprouting up all good ...
It was small ... good design ... sturdy build ...
It handles a whole lot of audio and video formats ...
The best part was it played .mkv files ... at 1080p resolution ...
It was available in a few shops in Male' ... I couldn't wait ...
I sold the Abigs divX player from Sarotech ...
Ran out and bought WD TV Li... cheapest was at Formax shop ...
Installation was simple ... power and HDMI cables only ...
Picture quality is good ... I mean really very good ...
User interface is nice ... and the unit is silent in operation ...
WD TVs have become very popular now ... no surprises there ...
And as with all other products that become popular ...
WD TVs are being hacked and modded for extra functionality ...
Check out www.wdtvc.com for more info ...
I wish I'll not regret my decision to by this gadget ...
May be I never will .. eh ... ???  ;)

About time ... got myself a Nokia E71 ... :)

Hello ...
Its been sometime since I blogged about gadgets ...
But this sure is a good time to do so ...
As you may know if you follow me on twitter ...
I was having an iPhone ... and I enjoyed it a lot ...
I'll be the first to say ... the apple iPhone is a good phone ...
Its a fancy device ... its the smoothest touch phone ever ...
But for me ... it had some annoying limitations ...
Bluetooth didn't work ... couldn't forward text messages ...
I couldn't even send a contact's detail to a friend ...
(Yeah ... i know about WeTool ... it seldom works) ...
These small annoyances can make one go mad pretty soon ...
So I decided to get a new phone and started to explore options ...
I finally settled on the new Nokia E71 ... and sold my iPhone ...
Believe me when I say this ... Nokia E71 is an amazing phone ...
Its really looks nice ... and build quality feels really good ...
It has a full qwerty keyboard and some kewl functions ...
I use fring for IM/Skype ... and twibble for twittering ...
And ofcoz ... I installed Opera Mini as my browser ...
I'm testing push email on it ... with emoze ...
Its a very stable phone ... haven't crashed yet ...
If you are in the market for a smart mobile device ...
I recommend you seriously consider the new Nokia E71 ...
That being said ... I do have a small problem ...
If I have a contact saved in the format +960xxxxxxx ...
If I get a text message ... the name would come up fine ...
But if a get a call ... it shows the number without +960 ...
I've been told a firmware update would fix this ...
But so far ... there is no upgrade available for my phone ...
I do know a guy who has the same Nokia E71 he bought in Dubai ...
He doesn't seem to have this problem with his phone ...
So i guess it the software and a region setting ... or both ...
Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated ...

My tech wish … give us podcasts …

Hello …
I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a tech wish …
But if there is such a thing … here is mine …
I wish for podcasts … podcasts by Maldivians …
I know some bloggers have talked about it …
I’ve been told that a few even tried it …
But I have yet to know of a regular Maldivian podcast …
I enjoy listening to podcasts ... I listen to many a week …
There are lotsa podcasts out there for you to download …
An insane number of them on all topics you can think of …
And I think it would be a good idea … a great idea …
If a Maldivian started to take up podcasting …
To talk about local stuff … to cover local issues …
Several months ago … or was it a year … I’m not sure …
I tried to put out a podcast with simon as a guest …
We even recorded a few takes … it was fun …
Then I got busy with other stuff … lost my focus …
But when I did manage sit down and learn Garageband …
And figured out how to edit and add intro/outro/jingles …
The moment had passed and the things we talked about …
Had become pretty out dated … bummer …
So I didn’t manage to put out that podcast …
But I seriously wish that someone else would …
We are here to download … to listen … to comment …
To compliment … and of coz … to constructively criticize …
So all you guys out there … if you have something to say …
Say it with a podcast … or better yet … a video podcast …
Or is that wishing for too much too soon … ???
Also … I was thinking that it would be kinda kewl …
If some radio shows were made available as podcasts …
So we could listen to them at our convenience …

!important! … do *not* buy 32gb pen drives …

Hello ...
A friend calls ... invites me for a coffee ...
I go meet him ... and he asks me to give him some movies ...
He threw across a pen drive ... I caught it and had a look ...
God damn it ... it was small 32GB pen drive ... a SONY ...
Compared to the 8GB cruzer that i carry around ...
The 32GB pen was like enormous ... capacity wise ... hehe ...
I was impressed ... and wanted to ask him for more details ...
But i didn't get time ... i had to leave ...
Later ... i come home ... copy some movies on to the SONY ...
On the way to return the pen I meet this techie buddy of mine ...
I show him the 32Gb pen ... hoping he would be impressed too ...
Feeling sorry that I had that pen ... he explained ...
The 32Gb pen was a serious piece of crap ...
You can apparently see files being copied to it ...
But the files are corrupted and cant be used ...
I didn't believe him ... and checked it out ...
Holy shit ... he was right ... I couldn't open any files ...
It said something like data corrupted ... or truncated ...
Sulking ... I fired up my HEX editor ...
I'll be damned ... just a bunch of zero's ...
The pen wasn't writing any data on to it ...
It was just writing a shit load of zero's that can't be used ...
I called up my friend and let him know what I've learned ...
All he wanted to do was call the seller and ask for a refund ...
So guys ... I know there are some cheap 32GB pens going around ...
Don't fall for it ... check it out really well ...
Before you cough up your hard earned cash ...

He was in his office … with a colleague of his …
They were deep in discussion … when I entered his cabin …
The moment I walked in … I was awestruck …
My friend was holding a brand new iPhone in his hand …
At first … I thought it was a good fake …
It took me a moment to realize … that it was the real deal …
I immediately took it and checked it out …
It was real alright … very real … it was beautiful …
It was smaller than I had previously anticipated …
It seemed smaller than the video iPod and lighter …
I slid the screen button to unlock the phone …
But of course it would not work as a phone yet …
As we all know iPhone is locked to US AT&T network …
My friend told me that he just bought it today …
And with in a few hours … he’d try and hack it …
So that it can be used here in Male’ … that’d be kewl …
I immediately placed a bet … and he accepted …
I told him that if he could hack the iPhone …
I’d buy the iPhone off him and meet his asking price …
I don’t think I’m gonna loose this bet … what do you say ???
Thought the iPhone cannot be used as a phone yet …
It can still be used as an iPod … and other stuff …
Just holding the iPhone sent a chill down my back …
It was really beautiful … it was amazing …
That was one freaking awesome piece of hardware …

When can we pull the plug on fax machines ???

Hello …
Since like around mid 1970s …
Fax machines have been used widely in businesses …
But now … after around 30 years of use …
Is still a pre-requisite for setting up a business … ???
I don’t think so … I think we should move on …
Why cant we use email instead … why cant we let go … ???
Why should we use this unreliable technology … ???
To start with … a fax machine is expensive to buy …
With the added cost of thermal paper or ink cartridges …
It is expensive to operate and maintain …
And all it does … while taking up so much space …
Is send out and receive black and white images …
And usually it doesn’t do a very good job at it either …
Can we forget the garbled fax messages we receive … ???
How often have we sent the same fax more than once … ???
And the annoyingly slow speed and dreaded busy signals … ???
All of which can be avoided by using email instead …
I can understand the fact that some businesses …
May require your signature on a form or a contract …
And for those desperate situations …
There are several email/fax gateways around you can use …
I’m trying to avoid sending faxes all together …
And it nice to know that some of the business cards …
And email signatures of most email I get …
Doesn’t have a fax number advertised on it anymore …
That’s a good sign … right … ???
