Hello from 35,000 feet in the sky

Blogging at 35,000 feet in the sky?? You got that right! Im on a Virgin America flight from JFK to Las Vegas and the plane has WiFi !!! How awesome is that! (im gonna do some emailing, facebooking, and even try to play some WoW =P) Not only that its equipped with an outlet plug to charge my laptop with a full onboard entertainment center. So I dont think I'll be sleeping much on this flight. The cabin itself is lit with neon lights that seem to change color to give it a nightclub like atmosphere.  Another cool feature is the food ordering system.  If you wanted to buy a sandwhich, you would do so through your touch screen monitor in front of you swipe your credit card on the monitor and place the order.  Then in the back an attendant will receive the order and deliver your food. Very cool plane.

Well bring on Vegas!!

The new age of gaming: Motion Sensors... but who wins Xbox360 or PS3?

So E3 the video game conference that all nerds dream about someday going to, and look forward to reading about just ended this year. I being one of those video game nerds just got a tip from Justin to check out the new things the game companies have in store for us "gaming gurus." One major thing that caught my eye was Sony's big announcement on a motion sensor controller similar to Nintendo's Wii system. Later I found Xbox had a similar invention in mind but instead intend to use no controller and just read your body movement. In addition, the Xbox version will scan actual objects, provide video chat, and a lot of new features. The real question will be how accurate and well do these things perform? Sure it looks great in these clips but we all know that in real life they won't turn out as great... I guess time will tell.

But from what you see here, which one looks cooler to you? Xbox 360 or PS3 version of Motion Gaming.

Testing out the Panasonic Lumix ZS3

So I got myself a new point and shoot camera a week ago, and after extensive research I decided on a Panasonic Lumix ZS3. I originally wanted to get a Flip HD Mino for digital video goodness, but after reading many many many reviews I figured that I should just upgrade my point and shoot digital camera at the same time for a few more bucks with even better video quality at the same time.

So, I bought the camera through special order since it just came out and has a high demand their sold out everywhere. This weekend I got a chance to test out the camera and am somewhat confused on whether I should keep it or exchange it for a Canon SD780. Reason being, the Canon is about 3/4 the size, 1/2 the weight and Canon pictures are supposed be a lot more vivid and also has more features on the camera itself. BUT, what I lose according to the many results I read is quality in video, and the Panasonic has a much better lens on the camera which includes wide angle and an unheard of 12x zoom.

With all that said, i'm kind of borderline on both... do I want to sacrifice quality for size and coolness? I got a chance to sample the camera/vid while driving and at NYC's annual Japan Fair. Take a look and let me know what you think.

A moonchie thought...

I have fully categorized all my posts into a set group of categories which can be found on the bottom of the right column --->
You'll find some convenient categories such as "Music" "Photography" "Games" etc. This should make things easier to navigate and read. One of those categories is "A Moonchie Thought" which is the meat and potatoes of my blog, the personal stuff. Anytime you see something categorized under "A Moonchie Thought" you know it's coming from the psychological mindframe of moonchie. Some things may be completely off the wall, some may be philosophical, but all in all you know its straight from the madness of moonchie.

I have conquered the random number generators! So recently in the digital world of World of Warcraft I have gotten lucky and received too cool new rare mounts. Both work off of a random system that have like a 1% chance to acquire. The Green Proto Drake has like a 3% chance that you can only try for once per week. I've been trying for about 3-4 months now and finally got one. The other has a 1% chance to acquire but only has a 1 day timer on it. Pretty good to finally get them and not have to worry, hooray for feeling happy about digital pixels!
