Top 3 Fujifilm X-Pro1 Camera Accessories

Seeing as I've already started pooling together cash from my 'would-be' savings and car fund into the big splurge of the Fujifilm X-Pro1 with the planned release of the 23mm f/1.4 lens next year, you could call me a little insane to be recommending accessories before even owning the camera.

Then again, you probably have no idea how crazy I get once I have my heart set on something. Above: 1) Street Strap ($69), 2) Thumbs Up (TU) EP-7S Ergonomic Adapter ($117), and 3) Match Technical "BOP" Red Soft Release ($18).

Pass on the Memo

Going dark and trendy today. Maybe too trendy, even.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 Hack and Slash

I must say, this camera would have been on my must-buy list had it included an external mic stereo connector and better video support. Otherwise, le camera sex must wait.

PrimaLuna Amps Galore

Oh why, oh why, did I have to find these beautiful amps. I was doing such a good job curbing my hi-fi spending and saving up for a Leica. Now it seems that goal is impossible. Damn you PrimaLuna for making such beautiful fucking equipment.

Opposition Now

I'm not usually one to encourage an uprising, but after seeing how much power certain industries can have over a technological age that's literally lapping them in bounds... I must say this: "Get a grip, people."

And there's no denying that the freedom of the Internet has brought forth something  that no one had ever expected; the birth of a cyber-country that doesn't discriminate, but celebrates our differences. An Internet that numbers in the billions - enriching knowledge to the masses at an unprecedented scale. Where sharing is truly caring, and no one takes injustice lightly.

I do worry about the powers that attempt to control it, however. These are not men, but corporate entities who do not care - they do not love. Empathy is the beating heart of the Internet and innovation is powered by the billions of minds that interact with it, hoping to achieve what was once impossible. If anything, I would argue that the Internet is already one of man's greatest triumphs in my lifetime. We just need to make sure its inevitable dilution by the struggling powers that be don't change the way our children experience it in the future.

Nothing is Best Left Unsaid

In the end, I simply wanted to travel with you. Pack some cameras in my bags. Then dance the night away.

The Simple Cool: Wire Management 101

If you got wire management problems, I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems and a cord control problem ain't one. Bluelounge Cablebox. Onelessdrop. IKEA SIGNUM.

All Stars are Not Created Equal

Old man once said: "How 'young' you live your life is up to you. Take it from one who knows. I learned this the hard way." So never settle. Enjoy friends and family. Follow your dreams like you never would.

Serato x iTunes Match

I love the idea of iTunes Match. I really do. It's just... well, there are some issues. Issues such as I use my iTunes library to DJ at parties and small shows. Issues such as specifically using Serato to do so.

Hence, my interest is if this cloud integration layer will royally *fuck* things up for would-be DJs. I'm not sure how Serato pulls in and caches the file before throwing it into the mix, but it'll be a fun Thanksgiving weekend project to say the least. Updates to follow.

X100 Fuji Camera Pr0n

I still haven't been convinced that this camera can top my Panny GF-1 in terms of long term support, performance, and reliability, but it's certainly there in terms of looks. Maybe I'll grab one of these instead of a gigantic full frame. You know, until I have a $3000 female model who'll be up for doing a shoot with me in Morocco.

Olympus EP1 x Canon 50mm 0.95

Mmmmmm. Sex on glass. This I can do.

Legacy Leftovers

To reach such high critical acclaim and accomplish so much in so little time is definitely something to be praised. But it's everything as a whole; the merger of design and consumer, his sensitivity towards multimedia-based future, and lifelong deliberation towards creating better lives for all of us - that's what I've come to known Stevie for. Thank you for everything, good sir.

Designed to Kill

If only...
