Nikon 1 Series Review

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

So a couple of weeks ago we were able to get our hands on the new Nikon series of mirrorless cameras. The video below pretty much sums up what we thought of these little guys. Overall we like them, but could never justify the price for actually owning either of these. There are also a number of features that we find haven’t really been thought through or are just not practical in any way. As well, the menu system is overly complicated considering some of the pre existing buttons on the camera. Again though, they are stylish and produce pretty good imagery/video. So if not for cost, and despite a number of failings, we would still enjoy having them.

Cheers,

Keep Inspired

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

Staying inspired is something I find works like a swing.  Sometimes it’s incredibly easy and seems like it will never end.  You finish one thing and there’s not even a moment between when you’re eager to start the next.  Other times you just have nothing going on upstairs and you really have no idea where to begin.  As a business owner it’s also tough because I’ve got some additional responsibilities like paying bills or employees or ever making sure we’re all working and attempting to make the best use of everyone’s time.

Some days I’m even so ambitious that it all acts against me in a way.  I’m so eager to work on so many different projects that I am thinking about them all at once and at the end of the day nothing gets done.  It’s kind of like when Mr. Burns had every illness known to man and they all countered each other so somehow he was invincible, only with me it’s sort of the opposite of invincible.

Anyway, the point is sometimes you have to kick yourself in the brain to get out of it.  We found this video and I really liked it.  I actually connected with almost every point and my favourite one is probably the last.  Enjoy.
