Mercedes-Benz this morning released the first official pictures of the new S-Class, which is due to be shown at this fall’s Frankfurt Auto Show and will go on sale in Europe in the fall. The interior reminds me a lot of the BMW cars while the rear end of the car reminds me of the new Chrysler 300C. At first glance the car looks a bit… strange and off in my opinion. I guess once we get used to the new look it will sink in better. [Link]

Seems like an interesting site, haven’t had time to fully check it though. They recently setup a forum where photographers can share pictures and tips.[Link]

I found this site that has the opening videos of some cool cartoons from the 80’s. There was one cartoon I really used to like but had forgotten its name, turned out it was called Pole Position. Here are some of the videos, a lot more on the site.

Bionic Six
Centurions
Dangermouse
Dennis the Menace
Denver the Last Dinosaur
The Gummi Bears
He-Man
Inspector Gadget
Pole Position
Rainbow Brite
The Real Ghostbusters

Update: Site is now down due to heavy traffic. I downloaded a couple of videos will upload them later if site is still not working.

Saw this Escalade parked outside Marina Mall tonight.

EGM sent a spy, posing as a clueless girlfriend shopping for a videogame system for her boyfriend. She went to the 4 largest video game retailers and started asking them questions like which system is better and what are polygons. Some of the answers by the store clerks are a good laugh.[Link]

23 People is a photo sharing site like flickr except a lot simpler and cooler. If I can find a way to move all my Miskan pictures to 23 People I would move. Maybe I can use 23 People for my personal and vacation pictures etc.. [Link]

Update: wow coool!!!! I just got 23people.com/mark! Can’t believe no one took mark yet as a username!!

Turns out back in the 1950s, the US Airforce had plans to detonate a nuclear bomb on the moon so they could examine the nuclear cloud for possible organic material. [Link]

I am back from todays shoot. Was out in the sun since 9AM. I asked Nat to give me our sunblock in the morning but she couldn’t remember where she put it so now I look like a tomato, my face and neck are burnt. Thank you nat!

I was at the Marina Mall food court for lunch when I noticed the interactive map screen upstairs had an issue. Turns out it runs on Windows… [Link to larger picture]

Before you go to a salad bar (like at Pizza Hut) make sure you check this out. [Link]

I just purchased an internet card so I could get online from work. Our internet is still down and this is the first time I use a dial up connection in a long time. KD1 got me 15 hours of internet using Fasttelco which I think is really cheap. The connection though is veryyyy slowwww, I hate dial up. I still remember when I used to get kicked out of BBS’s because of my 2400 baud modem. Nibaq and I used to connect our computers together and he would send me pictures of the Texas A&M chick, each picture would take over 5 minutes to download from him because of my slow modem..

Me and Nat are up now watching Michael Jacksons four SUV’s convoy head towards the courthouse. The jury has reached a verdict and they will be reading it as soon as Michael arrives. Watching the convoy heading towards the courthouse reminded me a lot of when I watched OJ Simpsons chase on TV back in Canada. I love this live stuff and I hope he turns out not guilty.

Update: Michael is NOT guilty of any of the 10 counts.

OK, tonight I found out I have a 5 day long photography shoot coming up. It starts on Wednesday 8AM and ends sometime next week. The worse part about this is the first shoot on Wednesday will be on a 70 foot yacht and you know how much I hate boats. I don’t know or should I say I don’t think I will be able to update the blog during the mornings like I usually do so I will probably be posting during the evenings. Its going to be a really hectic week…

Today I got to the office and to my surprise we didn’t have any internet. Something was wrong with the server and no one in the office had internet. It was the most dreadful experience of my life. From 8AM till just now 6:30PM I was without internet!! I tried to call the internet but that didn’t work…
