Eating Dog in Shanghai.

I came back this week from a working trip in Shanghai. This was my second time in China. It is always a challenge to travel there since I don’t speak a word of chinese and it is rare to find someone who speaks understandable english. Or, I should say, an english that I can understand. I completed the work tasks I had planned to accomplish before my departure. The outcome was not always exactly what I expected... 

Summer Plans: 2009

With my birthday on june 6th, my summer always begins. As I said last year, this day always makes me feel that something new and exiting is starting.

It’s the right time to announce some of my summer plans (subject of course to change): 

Review: Sony Customer Service.

Not too long ago, I accidentally dropped my Camcorder Sony HDR-TG1 onto a hard floor and it got damage. That damage being a tiny dent into the super strong titanium outer-casing on top of the control button. This caused the control button to pop-out ever-so-slightly and rendering the camera inoperable. I consider this a design flaw especially for an object that costs $900. In the past twenty years, I have dropped other camera or video recording equipment but it never damaged the device so it could not be used. 

First Impressions: GoPro HERO Camera (Part 1)

Motorsports HERO Wide.

As you all know by now I broke my Sony HDR-TG1 two weeks ago after dropping it onto the concrete garage floor. 

During my last visit in New York City, I acquired a new “movie-toy” to film some of my favorite activities as motorbike riding. 

Originally released three year ago, the GoPro Hero cameras series was added by the GoPro Motorsport Hero WIDE.
