Back Tracking: Photos from Arnold Schwarzenegger First Gubernatorial Campaign

Long Beach – September 3rd, 2003

Then the actor best known as the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger arrived at California State University, Long Beach campus to kicked off his campaign in the infamous Recall Election against incumbent Gray Davis. On November 17th, Schwarzenegger was sworn in as the 38th Governor of the State of California.

I was looking through the my archives and found some lower resolutions pictures of Schwarzenegger first campaign in the Recall Election.

View more pictures here.

Canon EOS 60D, a One Thousand Dollar Question.

I am considering buying Canon EOS 60D instead of Canon EOS 7D. There are a few things about EOS 60D that I like over EOS 7D.

  • The new tilt-swivel LCD
  • Most of the features from EOS 7D
  • Lower price point than EOS 7D

To be honest, the tilt-swivel LCD is great for shooting videos with EOS 60D.

I need more informations before I buy a new DSLR Camera Body. Then again, Canon might announce new DSLR camera at Winter CES 2011. Well, I’ll wait for another week.

Twentieth Century Fox, apparently you missed one there.

Family Guy: It’s A Trap! is now officially released despite of some early leaks somewhere on the inter-tubes. Prior to the release of the DVD, a person who definitely did not attend the meeting between Seth McFarlane and John Jacobs informed us about a little joke within the movie. Similar to Futurama: Bender’s Big Score with mentions of ILoveBender.com, Family Guy: It’s A Trap! mentions hanjobs.org as part of a joke. Twentieth Century Fox registered the domain name hanjobs.org in advance of the release of the DVD.

Upon watching the actual movie, I found three other domain names within the jokes. They are:

  • www.makemoneysuperfast.org
  • www.getcashfaster.org
  • www.getrichquick.org

Twentieth Century Fox for sure secured the domain names before the release of the DVD, didn’t they?

makemoneysuperfast.org

getcashfaster.org

Unfortunately Twentieth Century fox missed one domain name, getrichquicker.org record was created back in November 18th, 2009 by somebody else.

getrichquicker.org

Ah well, I’m going to watch the special features from Futurama Volume 5 DVD.

ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD is on sale for $199 at Amazon.

ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD is on sale for $199 at Amazon. I paid $249 for the ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD back in late October and installed it on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core i7. It has been a great experience so far. The 128GB of storage space is relatively small, but I’ve learned to organize files better. Having an external FireWire 800 drive is really handy.

Forty-five days into using the an SSD on my MacBoo Pro, I highly recommend it to anyone.
