New camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5
So I finally have a new camera after cracking the LCD on my last Canon point and click.
I’m excited to use it during my golf outings and Cubs games! There reason why I chose this camera is the features that it boasts. Panasonic isn’t as well known as Canon for digital point and clicks. I was actually looking specifically at Canons only and I was thinking of purchasing the SD1100 IS.
I then stumbled onto the Panasonic TZ5 series. After reading through the features list, I was amazed.
- 10X optical zoom. Most cameras only supports up to 4X optical zoom and the rest digital. I never ever use the digital zoom.
- 28mm wide-angle lens.
- the ability to shoot 720p HD video resolution with 30fps.
The rest of the features are pretty standard on today’s cameras like Image Stabilization and a huge LCD screen. I’ll play with it more and let you know what I think of it. For now, you can view image and video samples on Steve’s Digicams.
The survey for people who make websites
I just took this survey created by A List Apart for web designers and so should you (if you make websites). It took me about 8 minutes so it’s not very long.
Red Mango comes to Chicago
If you haven’t tried frozen yogurt, you’ve been missing out. Other cities like New York have enjoyed Pinkberry’s frozen yogurt for a while now. There’s Berry Chill in downtown Chicago but that’s far out of my way. Red Mango has been around for a while but not anywhere in Chicago. The new locations are in Evanston and Naperville.
After working in Evanston for a couple of weeks, I feel that this would be a great addition to my enjoyment of work aside from the Coldstone Creamery and Ben and Jerry’s. Go check Red Mango out when you can, especially today because they are giving away a small size for free in Evanston and tomorrow in Naperville.
FYI, I don’t work for Red Mango, I just think it’s great.
Vs. Social's Success: Second Store Opening
Vs. Social just officially opened a second store in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It most likely did not obtain success from the simple Wordpress blog I installed on the site. Vince is just a great entrepreneur and works really hard to get his store to where it is now. Most people don’t even reach a level where they open a second store but Vince did it and congratulations to him.
The store officially opened yesterday and there was a huge party to let everyone know. I wish I could have been there but for now I have pictures and videos posted by Podge on Vs. Social’s Blog.

It’s time to take Vs. Social nationally and next, the world!
