Magic Lantern Firmware for the Canon 5D MkII I don’t dare install the firmware myself, but a lot of the features presented here are very exciting (especially the manual gain option, which also apparently reduces picture noise dramatically in video), and I hope that Canon is listening up and working on a updated firmware in the near future for the MkII.

My Star Trek Experience
If you’re looking for a review of Star Trek then I’d have to say it was good, and you should go see it. For me, the movie was overshadowed by another chance experience. Let me tell you about Rod. Saturday night was date night for my wife and I.  We had decided to drop off our 10 month old girl, go out for a nice dinner and check out the new Star Trek movie because it had received so...
