New Canon Powershot A550, wireless Mac keyboard and Mighty Mouse
Today I got my new camera. It’s a Canon Powershot A550 with a 2gb SD card. The 550 has been around for some time now though, so calling it a “new” camera might not be fitting. However, it was very cheap and I wasn’t in the mood to spend a whole lot of money on a camera right now. I have been looking at the Canon EOS400D but I am afraid that having a really good but not very compact camera will discourage me from bringing it places where good photo opportunities might appear. So I went ahead and ordered the 550 based on the reviews I could google and the cool new functionality at Flickr that lets you see pictures by camera.

The picture above is taken using the 550 and shows my desk. This is where all the magic (or rather lack of) happens. A quick tour of desk from the left shows my Samsung 215TW a great widescreen display which I know use as a second screen for my Macbook Pro although in this picture it shows the Fedora install screen from a box I am setting up. In the middle is my Macbook Pro and to the right of it my old Toshiba Portege, a very cool very small notebook which now has been replaced totally with my Macbook pro. In the front is a wireless Mac keyboard and a wireless Mighty Mouse which I picked up today on my way to the postoffice to get my camera.
