Pentax K100D
I’ve finally made a decision on which camera to buy. Now I just need to scrounge up the cash.
It’s got a nice set of features, includung in body shake reduction and a good image processor. While it’s only 6.1MP it’s price ($624) is hard to argue with and it’ll get me back to taking pictures sooner.
[update] Scott upgraded to a Canon EOS 30D so I’m buying his old camera, a Canon Rebel.

A few Ideas for some DIY projects.
A simple project to read a POT and control a couple LEDs using the very cool looking and cheap Arduino.
Maybe the Arduino could be used to implement something like the DaysAgo Timer.
Or maybe find one of the USB Interface chips to build something fun like the USB Hampster Wheel that responds to your typing.
