Frankenspider and Other Interesting Happenings

Today was the second day in a row that i got into the shower, and was scared witless by a huge, GINORMOUS spider, which in my hysterics i named Frankenspider.  It wasn't enough that i had Stacy kill one for me yesterday, but another one decided to make my bathroom it's home today, and if I didn't know that the first Frankenspider was definately ( Read more... )

I know a little, but I also asked the Rob on your behalf (he's a photo guru bordering on deification, and I'm not just saying that because I'm his girlfriend):

1) Adobe Photoshop is the only program he recommends, however from what I've seen this can be ungodly expensive unless you can find someone with a pirated copy *cough cough* and for me it tends to be too much for just everyday stuff -- I have done just fine with a copy of MGI Photosuite and while it doesn't let me do as much as Photoshop does it does pretty well, although I have an older version than the one at that link that I got from my Dad so that may influence that evaluation. I think a new, updated, shiny version runs somewhere between $30-$50. I guess it depends what all you want to do with a photo mod program.

2) Rob also recommends checking out DPReview.com for recommendations on cameras. Also, I haven't had any complaints about my Kodak EasyShare CX6200 (the closest thing I've found to that is the CX7300, shown here), plus it has the added benefit of being damn near idiot proof (I also don't know exactly how much mine was since it was an Xmas present, sorry). My thought on this is also to check the rest of Best Buy's website, they've got a ton of digital cameras and a comparison feature.

Hope that helps....

Much thanks, that was more info than I was expecting! My dad is some what of a gadget freak, so I'm sure he'll be able to find a good deal, but with your info I'll be a little more informed, and i might be able to give him some help too. :o)
