Upcoming Review: Sony DSC-HX5V Digital Camera.

Sony has been airing the ad with Taylor Swift using DSC-HX5V for the past few weeks (months?). I finally got my hands on one. On loan, of course. I can’t spend my money on it, not in this economy. P.S. Simon, where’s my paycheck?

Anyway, this camera is the next generation of point and shoot digital camera. It records AVCHD video, and it has GPS built-in. The “iSweep Panorama” is the killer feature of this camera. No more the awkward picture stitching to make that panoramic one. It is really easy to do on this camera.

Anyway, I’ll be taking this camera on Saturday to a wedding; Carlos Alazraqui’s.

Expect a full review really soon!

In the meantime here’s a picture taken using Sony DSC-HX5V iSweep Panorama feature, re-compressed using Adobe Photoshop.

Carlos Alazraqui: Q&A – Birthplace.

Carlos Alazraqui sets the record straight regarding his Birthplace. Some Wikipedia Editors are citing IMDB that Alazraqui was born in Sacramento, California while others are saying that Alazraqui was born in Yonkers, New York.

Carlos says: Yonkers, New York.

“RENO 911! is Canceled.

It’s official! Comedy Central cancels RENO 911! today as revealed by show creator Thomas Lennon through Twitter.

“Reno 911! was cancelled at 1:30 pm today. Won’t be wearing the shorts again.”

Fans blame show creators for killing off the Deputies.

More on this.

I talked to Carlos Alazraqui who played Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia at The Hollywood Improv on Thursday night. Alazraqui says that he never left but only one season ahead of the show itself. He also says that fans can always watch the show on re-run and DVD. In addition to that Alazraqui will be hitting the road with Cedric Yarbrough (Deputy S. Jones) for the coming months.

p.s. Trying to get Cedric Yarbrough to say a few words about RENO 911! and his current projects. Stay tuned!

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set was released on Tuesday July 7th, preempting the Season 6 Finale that was due on Wednesday July 8th. The two-disc set contains total of 15 episodes from the “shocking” season premiere episode to the season finale episode.

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set from Amazon.com

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season

Season 6 starts with no mentions of the presumably killed Deputies. Fans are crying foul over the absence of Deputy Johnson, Deputy Kimball and especially Deputy Garcia (played by Wendi McLendon-Covey, Mary Birdsong and Carlos Alazraqui respectively). Enter Seargant Jack Declan and Deputy Frank Rizzo (played by Ian Roberts and Joe Lo Truglio respectively).

Fans of the show are divided in two, those who still like the show and those who now hate Season 6.

I am planning to buy the DVD set for two particular episodes. The first one with George Lopez and Jill-Michele Meleán. The second one with the tribute for Garcia involving some explosives and a canon.

There is no official word yet about the Seventh Season.

I have done a few projects with Carlos Alazraqui and plan to continue doing so. In addition to that I am also working with Jill-Michele Meleán who plays Maria Garcia (James Garcia’s Sister) and Gloria (Mayor Hernandez’s girlfriend in Season 6 Episode 8).
