New toys for Leanna, new paper, my brother's stove

My first purchase of Kodak media ever. This is just a coated bond paper for making test prints, quick, draft quality prints for engineers and design students, and to plus black ink from the Epson 9600 when changing between black inks. Kodak boxes look so cool, though. I've not been a big fan of Kodak products in the past but I hope that this and a new sample that I should be getting in shortly will change all of that.

While I'm no baker or cook, that lasagna was harder than it should have been to bake probably because my brother's Maytag Advanced Cooking System range was a bit too advanced. WTF is convection bake?

A shot that Leanna's middle sister Jessica took with the F10 of me playing with her new convertible tablet, the Fujitsu P-1510D. It's 2.2lbs, has 7hr battery life, touch screen, 1.2GHz Pentium-M ULV processor, wireless networking and a whole bunch of other stuff all in a sub-$1900 package. More on this later.

Leanna's mom's new 17" LCD display by AG Neovo. One of the most unique-looking displays I've ever seen. Everyone in their household seemed very happy with the new toys. Now everything is silver.

Yeah . . . too sexy. I think I have to get one . . . too bad that the CF card reader slot is run with a 16bit controller or something . . . high CPU overhead and low throughput. No PCMCIA slot either but that problem would have been minor if the CF card slot was 32bit or would run at ATA speeds like most good CF PCMCIA card readers. And yeah, you can do virtual desktop scrolling and stuff with it. =) - K

The sample roll came in Monday morning. The gloss is wayyy nicer than Epson Premium Glossy . . . it's true photographic gloss, not like that inkjet gloss crap. The sample roll I was sent was just an 8mil paper and while gamut is fine, I'm sure that the Kodak premium product that's 10mil will have better ink loading characteristics. Yeah, the AG Neovo display is pretty cool. I like it. Viewing angle is also underrated on the spec sheet, too . . . it feels like most other manufacturer's 160-170degree displays. Still not recommended for even moderately-serious graphics but great for gamers, business and home users.
