The Science of Procrastination - And How To Manage It

New kid on the block

Dynamism - Tainell U-Touch 500
UMPCs have been virtually extinct ever since Apple's iPad appeared.

As usual, I was moaning about this on UMPC Portal. One comment recently pointed out a new UMPC.

Haven't heard of Tainell before, but the specs look respectable. Price is quite expensive though. The highest spec version is selling at US$1,199.

Didn't manage to find a review online.

Modern Family

ABC.com
Am hooked on Modern Family; now catching up from Season 1 onwards... Finding it difficult to find streams that work. Just remembered a trick that my brother discovered. English shows found on Chinese video sites. Chinese shows found on English video sites.

Prime example here.

BBC Formula 1 2012 - 06 Monaco GP - McLaren duo Hamilton and Button swap...

An example of why BBC is still better than Sky in its coverage of F1. Great segment, with the sporting Mclaren drivers trying out presenting and producing respectively.

Great video shot with the Nex-5N, and the detailed setup provided by Johnnie Behiri is great. It does show that a consumer camera can achieve great things, but quite a lot of additional gear is needed. Just look at notes under the video.

Subaru BRZ- First Drive Roadtrip

Useful tips on how to shoot a car review video. Maybe it's weird to talk about that, but that's what came to my mind while watching it.

• piece to camera
• shots of non-car stuff to act as fillers (e.g. paying toll, filling up at petrol stations)
• shots of the scenery
• wide shot of both cameraman and driver from back
• music and actual audio fade in and out
