I was trying to find the perfect camera bag for my new Olympus SP565uz and stumbled upon this product…am I ever glad I did! It’s light-weight, just big enough without looking like I’m pretending to be a professional photog, and until I become adept enough with my new camera to buy an add’l lense, the extra section can hold a bag of snacks! Velco strips enable you to block off just the right inside space to house your camera.

It has many pockets, so I can stash my credit card holder, passport and even my tiny-print camera manual. Pockets just for my extra X-D Picture cards, extra batteries, etc. On both sides, on the outside, are mesh pockets perfect for a couple small water bottles.

The feature that really sold me was the fold-over top, so there’s no chance rain can creap in through the zipper…it even has its own “raincoat” stashed in the front pocket. Kudos to whoever designed this!!

I recently moved into a new house and had to setup various things (cable, xbox, etc). The cable company wanted to charge me $10 for an HDMI cable, but would have given me (more expensive, btw) components for free. I guess they (Time Warner Cable) just want to sucker people. I just offered to let them use HDMI since it’s easier (one cable versus several). I told the tech I had my own HDMI and to keep the component stuff, and used my XBox’s cable in the meantime.

Got it in today and switched the cable, and it looks great! No problems, and since it’s a digital signal, having big fat gold plated cables doesn’t much matter. It either works, or it doesn’t. And for the price (around $2.50 shipped) how can you beat that? I’ll definitely be getting more of these as the need arises.

As one of those `classics of literature’, it almost seems sacrilegious to criticize a critical success like `The Catcher in the Rye’. Well, I can’t help but feel as though the novel’s garnered respect and praise is a little much when you actually consider how little the novel really says about adolescence. Sure, it tries (and at times succeeds) to convey a feeling of apathetic innocence, but its construction is rather off-putting and it’s overall anticlimactic result is less ambiguously rewarding and more strangely hollow.

`The Catcher in the Rye’ is an ambitious story that attempts to say a lot but fails to really live up to its potential.

The novel tells of two mere days in the life of the recently expelled sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield. Not wanting to face the wrath of his parents, Holden decides to avoid home for a few days (until he’s expected back), living on his own in the city. The premise is merely a foundation for Holden’s simplistic views and reasoning’s concerning life and his future. He considers everyone around him to be fake and undeserving of his time, yet it is obvious that Holden is just as `phony’ as the rest of them. He goes on dates, gets trashed at bars, sneaks off to visit his sister, imposes (or does he) on a former teacher and even has a run in with a pimp.

Sadly, all of this is conveyed in Holden’s uninteresting and at times aggravating delivery.

I’m not trying to lighten the point which J.D. Salinger was trying to make, for it is a very poignant (maybe even more so today then when the novel was actually written) point. Our young ones are just as misplaced and confused as Holden, and so his tale of apathy masked desperation is one that we could all learn from; but Salinger loses my patience with his redundancy. Some have complained of the same thing, which I was pleased to see (it proves that some people are willing to think outside of the preordained box). Holden says the same thing on just about every page, so much so
