Sony ActionCam (HDR-AS15) and CamCorder Cradle (AKA-LU1)

It is that time of year when I have to waste some of my Sony points.  A Sony ActionCam, A mountable POV camera matches Carl Zeiss® optics with a rugged exterior that can take on mud, snow and water. So go legend, record it all in HD!!!  I know you would probably ask why not a GoPro?  I know GoPro has good reviews, some even said the video quality is the best and everything, but I did a lot of research on YouTube where people post their video comparison, I totally adore what everything Sony ActionCam has to offer, 4X slow-motion, full HD WiFi, amazing night recording!!! and much more, not to mention the price is soo affordable too.  I will try to make some videos with it soon, I already did a few tests and I am very very happy with it, might even try to mount the cam outside of the car and make some highway videos as well, will see 🙂

BTW, Sony is doing promotion on a few things, ActionCam is one of them if you want a good price now 😛

I had been wanting to get a long lasting and compact external rechargeable battery for a long time, with 11200mAh, that’s actually a lot of charging power, probably enough to charge up my phone and tablet a few times.  The made is very solid with aluminum casing, battery % LED meter and it comes with 2 USB ports, 1 with 1A regular charging  for phones and 1 with 2.1A for big tablets or other uses.  Just a big hint if you are getting something like this, I really prefer to see it first then buy it, because I had learned my lesson from last year, bought mine online and it turned out it was crappy as hell 🙁  Anyhow, thanks to my friend Tony recommended this, just wanted to sure it with you guys and here is a link to the product from their site 😀  http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=30_749_976&item_id=053044

A lot of people know I had been playing World of Warcraft for a long long time, and had been playing Diablo 3 for a little while too, but what people didn’t know that I was using Wacom Graphire tablet to play for years…  Yes, it sounds crazy using a graphics tablet mouse to play games on a computer and that had made a huge damage on my wrist over the years too…  I still play but I don’t think I can take the pain anymore while playing, so I bought this Cyborg R.A.T 7 Gaming Mouse – Albino Edition. A gaming mouse that looks very robotic, 6400 dpi, programmable buttons and tons more.  Get it while quantity lasts because it is on sale at Canada Computers right now until the end of April.  Now would you excuse me and I need to play some Diablo 3 with this awesome gaming mouse, hehe

So you have Windows 8, you wished you can get the most of its touchscreen feature and not to pay a whole lot, thought about buying a touchpad?  I looked around for one and I didn’t find a lot of choices to choose from, first I thought about the one made by Logitech, then I told myself, Nah, it would just be another useless but expensive gadget sitting around my house…  But, I found this Dell™ Wireless Touchpad (TP713) the other day, a deal that I couldn’t resist really, on sale for only $30… A touch pad that is multi-touch, modern, super slim, swipe from edge to edge and best of all, wireless!!!  Tho the deal is over already but I am sure it will be on sale again soon, here is the link to it http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Laptop_Notebook_Accessories/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&sku=331-9613&baynote_bnrank=1&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch

I had been thinking about getting a monitor calibrator for a long time, starting to get sick and tired of seeing different colours between work monitor and home monitors, so I did a little research and found this solution, ColorMunki Smile by X-Rite.  Initially, I thought about getting a datacolor Spyder but price wise it costs a little more and it is not easy to buy, instead, ColorMunki Smile is very inexpensive and it does the job.  The installation is easy as 123 and the calibration takes less than 5 mins, I am pretty sure I will bring it to work and calibrate everyone’s monitors 🙂  Now all the graphics work I do, the colour will match anywhere they appear, YAY!!!
