Is 3D going too far?

So, I was thinking the other day, is the whole 3D thing going to far? What got me started on this was browsing Engadget and seeing that Panasonic is going to be realeasing a consumer 3D camera. In every preview at the movies I see “coming soon in 3D”. To me it is actually getting annoying. To be honest, I don’t care to go see 3D movies. Like for me, I saw Avatar in 2D, no big deal. The whole glasses thing to me is annoying, even if its not a huge problem. Everything is 3D now, cameras, tvs, movies, video games, and even sports. Is it just me, or is “3D” going a little too far? This is just a little rant that I made a video about. I hope you enjoy.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 Test Footage

This is a short clip of different outdoor scenes to test my new Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 HD camcorder. Here are a few features:

Records in 720p
5x Optical zoom
10 megapixel camera (Quality is O.K)
Flash for photos
Pistol grip design
3in display
Can take photos while recording (Again, O.K quality)
HDMI connectivity (Cable included)
Reasonable array of video adjustments
Image stabilization (not used in the video)
Very reasonable price of about $120

Overall, I like this camera and my only complaint as of right now is that the autofocus could be a little faster. However, it's not that slow and if it really was a bother it can be turned off and set to a specific focus which is another feature I like.

For an unboxing of this camera, feel free to visit my channel. The link has been provided below.

Pokemon Attack: Episode One

This is the first episode of a web series I'm starting called "Pokemon Attack". It took a while for me to shoot the first episode, and I hope my hard work paid off. Even if you don't like Pokemon, I'm sure the series will still be a blast to watch.

PS: This video was recorded on the Canon Rebel T2i/550d, and edited with Final Cut Pro.

Tek Nation Episode 1: Apple Updates Galore

Many of you may know that the Apple.com store was shut down for mantinence yesterday because it received a few updates. The Mac Pro received a much overdue update. In August Apple will be selling a 12 core Mac Pro for a ridiculous price of $4999. But, it is a really fast and powerful machine, that will last you for a long time. Another new update that was very necessary was the 21.5 inch iMacs recieving a spec bump to the intel i3 processors. The Apple LED Cinema Display also received a long overdue update. Come September Apple will be selling a 27 inch LED Cinema Display for $999. A little pricey for a monitor. But, it does feature a built in mic, speakers, 3 usb ports, and other features a standard display would not have. The display also has a gorgeous 16:9 aspect ratio. The last big splash Apple made with their silent updates is with their new Magic Track Pad, which was leaked on MacRumors.com is the Magic Track Pad. It's basically a bigger version of the multi touch Track Pad featured on a MacBook Pro. Now, I'm not really sure why anyone would buy this. But, I will hold back all of the hate before I actually get to experience it for myself.
