Blogging about Trips...

Haven't published a post in a while... Things have been super busy and writing about my trip is sucking up the little blogging time I have. I found that blogging about trips has been quite difficult. It's not really that I don't want to blog about them, but there's just so much I want to put down. Given the scope of these posts, they are big time investments. I've had to essentially force myself to expand these posts by one paragraph a night to keep things going.

However, I discovered the true wonders of reading one's old posts when I dug up my Cat Cradle's review from a few years ago, after hearing the news of Vonnegut's passing. It's pretty cool to read your past thoughts and activities from almost a 3rd person/fresh perspective. Extra motivation for me to preserve the trip memories in writing.

I do have one thing to rant about. Why don't digital cameras have some rudimentary gyroscopes to automatically rotate your picture based on your camera's orientation when you took the shot? I spent at least 1.5 hours going through my trip pictures just to rotate them properly. A very simple innovation that can save avid photographers much grunt work. Now you all know why I took so long to get the ShanDong pictures uploaded. -_-;

I have more things to rant about, but it's 1:39AM already. I'll finish off with the wise words of the night, spoken by a very wise and smart lady: "[One] can be stupid, as long as [one is] happy." Cheers m8s!

ETA: Wiselady corrected me. She meant to say: "one can feel happy as long as he/she is *stupid*". lol.

    Canon cameras have some sort of mechanism that'll orient your pictures accordingly if you rotate your camera while you're shooting. Another reason why your next camera should be a Canon ;)

    I would get the Canon SD800 for the optical image stabilization and wide angle capabilities, if only the LCD and camera body weren't so poorly designed. -_-;

    Yes my canon does that except i can never get it work right. It seems to work sometimes and not others. Very confusing. and I totally understand what you mean bout trip posts. I always get lazy about posting them because there are so much details. but then I tend to regret it afterwards cause I can't remember everything as clearly 2 months later.

    Curse the laws of logic that doom the converse to not always be true!
