Review: Accessory Ave. on Yahoo Stores
Accessory Ave. sold me two devices, a Cannon DV Cam and an Olympus DSC. Both were over-sold (as they told us a week late), so they offered higher end models of both with no discount. We accepted, that was two weeks ago and the package is still not in our city. They also had no 1-800 no. and operated for very few hours and days. You may have better luck, but I was in no way satisfied with their service.

Tutorial: Writing Japanese with Mac OS X.

Very basic knowledge of Japanese required.

-Go into System Prefs:International:Keyboard Menu tab.

-Check the red disc with an apple on it near the bottom of the window.

-An american flag will appear in the menu bar.

-Open any non-classic word processor such as Text Edit.

-Select the red disc icon from the flag (AKA keyboard) menu.

-To select an alphabet, pick one from the bottom set of four menu items. The first is Hiragana, followed by Katakana than kana width Romanji than normal monospaced Romanji .

-Type words (typing k and a make ka etc.).

-To create kanji, type the word in kana and than press the down arrow until the appropriate character appears.

Note: The modified "." and long dash are in the normal . and - spaces on the KB.

-Use the search function of the AudioGalaxy site to pick songs (click the satelite icon).

-Install your client and enter your name and password.

-Hit connect and watch the files roll in, even if your browser is closed!

-Repeat as nececary until your HD is full, then buy annother one and continue to repeat.

Reviewed: Sony's DSC-P30 Digital Camera

I just got my P30 and I am impressed. The image quality is great, variable with a maximum of 1280x1024 and a cornicopia of formats. It zooms well both optically and (wow) digitally. The screen is sharp and the interface is rather intuitive. The viewfinder has a zoom lens so that you do not need the LCD to zoom. Preview mode is cool as it alows deletion, resizing, and zoom. The design is stunning and impresses all I show it to. It is even compatable with iPhoto, removing any need for third party apps. There are only two disadvantages, the first is it's small included Ram size of four megabytes. However this can be augmented via the cheep memory stick format. The second disadvantage is the odd displays. The battery can be at 100-95% for eons and suddenly sink to 5 unexpectedly. The memory meeter can also occasionaly claim that the stick is full when it is not, however playing with the controls can fix that. Overall the P30 is a great camera and I would recomend it to anyone searching for a midrange digital camera.

Rating 3.99/4 Crazed weasles.

Expo Coverage

Sorry, I was working all last week and could not post. Here is my macworld editorial:

iMac is cool. Much cooler up close. New mouse is cool. iBook is nearly identical (cannot tell difference unless side by side). Black and White for mac is out! I have not played it yet but blogulator seems to love it. Earthlink gave out nice junk. MacAddict had free buyers guides and foam visors, always a plus.

I had a little adventure: 5 minutes before I was going to leave I saw Avi walking around the south hall (SW/OS X guy for Apple, I think). One minute later Jobs and Ive were walking together around Apple's booth. Oddly, few people noticed. He walked up to jobs' wife and baby and started talking (Ive is so cool, and I felt some RD field rays). I waved vaugely and he winked back (very cool considering a am an Apple otaku and I have never seen him in person). THEN, when they left I left the hall and was stopped by Andrew Tukoda A.K.A. MacAddicts Disc/Video guy A.K.A Digital Droo A.K.A my favorite digital music artist. He filmed me (holding the issue), my freind blogulator (slightly taller) and his younger sister (shortish) in the Moscone hallway. I will probably be on the March or April disc video :)!!!

Products- iMediaKey - USB Multimedia Keyboard for Mac
Macally iMediaKey review

The iMediaKey is a big step up from my iMac's (my test Mac) old Apple original USB keyboard and in some ways improved over the Apple PRO USB keyboard my other machine (G4) has. It has more keys than you can shake a stick at: F1-15, Power, Ctrl Opt and Cmd on both sides, a seprate arrow pad and 18 internet, app and media hotkeys. The keys are large and quiet, however they are very responsive and will pick up accidental bumps (I am using a used product, this may be damage). It's look is okay on a colored machine but is a great match for pre-QS G4s and graphite iMacs. The drivers are simple and well designed however in 9 the media keys can only control CD PLAYER (not iTunes) and in X while iTunes is supported, only a select few applications can be launched using hotkeys. At $70, I would reccomend it moderatly new and extremely used (it seems durable, so it is like new if a good price is available).

Game Review: I have recently downloaded Airburst by Strange Flavor. It was very fun and has many hours of game play. The graphics are very smooth and have very few glitches. Also, the demo has many levels and is very unrestricting. In the game you play one of four small beasts which ride on bubble crafts with bats. The bats are used to knock away spiky disks which pop your bubble crafts when they touch. There are also dozens of variables which you can pick up such as the "Big Bat" which extends your bat or the "Sticky Bat" which allows you to hold on to the spike disk before shooting in at one of your opponents. This game is somewhat like pong. You can download this application at
