Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide







Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide

Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide 06/23/2004 09:11 AM

ricoh_caplio_400g_wide_2.jpg imageAlthough the Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide is billed as "waterproof," it's probably a little more realistic to think of it as "water resistant," since we're only talking depths of up a meter. Still, the slightly-ruggedized 3.2-megapixel camera has some nice entoughenings, like a reinforced glass dust protector on the lens, rubber bolstering on open parts and buttons, and pictures of a seven-person emergency four-season tent, stocked with the hottest cocoa, stored on its memory card. Maybe. Other than that, the 400G is essentially a waterproofed version of the Ricoh Caplio G4, which is a fairly solid camera, itself, so if you've been wanting something you can take camping or hiking or puddle diving, Photography Blog's review might help you figure out if the 400G is right for you.

PhotographyBlog has a typically nice review of the Ricoh Caplio RX, a 3.24-megapixel camera with a wide-range of attractive features, including sub-1 second boot times, comfortable aluminum-alloy casing, three-shots-at-once auto-bracketing, and a 3.6x optical zoom wide-angle lens. In fact, everything is just dandy about the RX except the image quality,...

ricoh_caplio_gx_1.jpg imageThe Caplio RX is the new top-end model in the Ricoh line and has much to recommend it: 5-megapixel sensor, wide-angle lens, and "world's fastest" shutter response and start up times (no more missing the premature money shot), all for a mostly reasonable price of around $500. Photography Blog took one out for a little test drive, and try to discover if the barely-adequate image quality of the previous Ricoh Caplios continues to plague the product line. The short answer? Yeah, it sort of still does.

Jarkko and Otava in Sinebrychoff Park

« Jarkko and Otava survey the snowy park vista. A gallery filled with 15mm of puppy and crane porn. »

After about a year of reading reviews and trying to find one locally, I succumbed to my lust for a Voigtlander 15mm/f4.5 Aspherical Super-Wide Heliar lens and ordered one day when I was feeling particularly weak. I ordered it from a shop in California since the only one I could find here was twice the price, used, and came with a camera I didn't really need or want. The only downside is that it's not coupled to the rangefinder so you have to guesstimate the focal distance, but the depth of field makes up for a lack of distance precision. It has a 110° field of view, weighs a mere 4oz, a 30.7mm profile and can focus as close as .3m. The lens arrived a few weeks ago but I hadn't had time to try it out. Saturday, I thought it would be nice to take a few pictures of Otava to see what it could do. The lack of distortion and only mild vignetting is pretty impressive for such a wide and inexpensive lens. [as an aside, anyone who has a Leica and wants a $300 lens from a company who knows how to ship to the EU *wink*wink* drop me a line.]

As a followup to the ag ing population of Helsinki there is a story about the po pulation explosion of weiner dogs in Finland. They are definitely popular in my neighbourhood with little old ladies in fur hats where the weiner dog quantum number is two, sometimes even three. There are quite a few puppies between 6 and 12 months in the park these days, many of them aren't very well behaved regardless of size. More than a few owners have mentioned that their older puppies still aren't housebroken which seems totally abnormal. Otava has been a week already without an accident. Maybe there needs to be an rise in puppy training classes.

The Sanomat had a wacky article about an ar chive of 1980s Estonian TV commercials. The "Kanahakkliha" spot is clearly the predecessor of the "Syökää Kana!" commercials from last year. It will take another year to get the freaky chant from that out of my head. HAKK HAKK HAKK LIHA LIHA LIHA.....

They want you to believe that you are too ignorant to understand new ideas, and that your capacity for learning has eluded you. They need you to believe that you are too lazy to make an effort to think for yourself. Don't buy that idea, for it is nothing more than an abdication of your obligations. Try to learn something new every day, no matter how small, for it will sharpen your mind and rejuvenate your spirit.

Amsterdam to Get City Wide Wi-Fi


Amsterdam to Get City Wide Wi-Fi 08/31/2004 11:25 AM
A company in Amsterdam is planning to deploy 125 base stations to cover all of Amsterdam with Wi-Fi: It's not clear which vendor is supplying the network but the operator is clearly not using off-the-shelf access points. The company is mainly targeting expats, students, and people who share accommodation. Those types of residents may be reluctant to have DSL or cable installed in their location if they don't intend to stay long term. Subscribers will pay just under 15 Euros per month for a 256 Kbps connection. The operator may be smart to target a transient population and offer a low price because it will likely struggle at least initially to ensure that coverage and capacity are adequate....

Concert Companion Gets Wide Testing


Concert Companion Gets Wide Testing 07/05/2004 08:10 AM

concert_companion.jpg imageGod bless Roland Valliere for disproving what I'd worked so hard to establish: that not everyone from Kansas City is a raving idiot. Valliere's Concert Companion, a Palm-based PDA that can be rented to orchestragoers that displays topical information about the ongoing performance (and that we've mentioned before) is now being widely tested by a variety of organizations, included our own New York Philharmonic. Although it's not an entirely un-bumpy ride -- The Times' reviewer had his unit lock up three times, although they don't mention if it had gotten wet when they hosed out his cage -- the Concert Companion is a great idea, and I'm glad to see it getting the chance it deserves.

Mind Wide Open excerpt


Mind Wide Open excerpt 02/18/2004 10:53 AM
Salon is running a long excerpt from Steven Johnson's mindblowing new book, Mind Wide Open, which I read last week and have been returning to in my thoughts several times a day. Johnson takes apart the jargon and theory of various kinds of brain and mind science and exposes us to a bunch of aha! moments about the physiological, evolutionary and non-material bases for our thought processes. Reading this book, you get this curious form of vertigo in which you begin to see your brain as a collection of chemicals and processes and physiological serendipities, and then realize that that very same collection of goo is the thing that is having this realization, and boy, that's a weird goddamned feeling. As for me, after reading this I'm in the market for a cheap travel-sized USB neurofeedback EEG.
Areas that do show noticeable changes appear on the images as a cluster of bright yellow pixels, fading out to orange and red at their peripheries. The images look strikingly like the Doppler radar images you see on the Weather Channel. (If you blur your eyes a little, you might think that yellow patch on the image was a thunderhead, not a brainstorm.) The image is projected over a grid with numbers running along each axis. The numbered grid and the slices create a three-dimensional system of coordinates, the latitude and longitude of neuromapping. The grid is made up of small cubes called "voxels," and each voxel has a specific address.

Joy begins by laying down the twenty-five slices for stage one of our experiment, the dreaded checkerboard. The pattern of activity is immediately visible, even to my untutored eyes, mostly because there's literally nothing going on in 95 percent of my brain. Only a thin band wrapping around the back of my head, roughly at ear level, glows yellow.

"We know that the flashing checkerboard is a very salient stimulus for just the visual processing areas of the brain," she says. "And that's exactly what's happening here."

Stealing with Mouth Wide Open?


Stealing with Mouth Wide Open? 04/02/2005 10:51 PM

Last night, I've been thinking about Russell's post on PSP in which he wrote:

So I snagged Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow this weekend via BitTorrent and then converted it to run on my PSP.

Actually, it wasn't that he snagged a major movie off BitTorrent that had me thinking.  He wouldn't have been able to unless it wasn't a common albeit illegal and shadowy activity.

What had me thinking was his response to the obvious questions:

I simply described an activity that many, many people are already doing with or without me. Do you really think that not talking about this sort of illegal use of BitTorrent is going to somehow protect it?

While my answer to his question is no, I do think talking in public about illegal activities does somehow cause changes, changes which the affected or interested parties (i.e. MPAA, FBI) may consider extremely harmful and thus proceed to counter by setting examples.

Based on my mutated theory of ying and yang, what belongs in the shadow should stay in the shadow.  Failing to do so leads to chaos.


Country-wide WiFi review


Country-wide WiFi review 03/19/2003 10:42 PM

I took a bunch of flights a couple weeks back and thought I'd be able to enjoy my downtime between flights catching up on email and reading the web. Since I don't know of any central site that tracks such things (is there a "geek airports" list with availability and price, like the geek hotels site?), here were my findings:

San Francisco (SFO) - New media business capital of the world and no wireless.

Chicago (ORD) - The business capital of the midwest, but not a wireless signal in sight.

Boston (BOS) - Major business city in New England, second only to New York City in the region, but nada on the wireless coverage in the terminals I sat in.

Austin (AUS) - Finally! Wayport access cost $5.95 for 24 hours of connectivity. Two years previous, it was free, but $5.95 ain't bad and I got an hour's use out of it.

Denver (DEN) - AT&T coverage through their "GoPort" service. A 24 hour connection costs $9.99. I had a few hours in Denver so I decide to do it, filling out this signup application, but I get a web server error upon submittal. I checked my credit card and wasn't charged for the $9.99, but I did sit in Denver connection-free due to their app.

It kind of shocks me how few aiports offer wireless access, even though much of airline travel is business related. It's an easy business model too, you just buy a $50/month DSL line and throw some base station hardware up for everyone to use, then start making 5-10 bucks a head, per day from customers. I also saw Microsoft tablet PC kiosks in Denver, as well as a booth hawking Intel's new Centrino product. SFO also had a Centrino display, even though SFO doesn't offer wireless access. It was interesting to see businesses such as Intel and Microsoft understand the value of engaging business travelers, even though the airports themselves do not (I also wondered, now that Google put money into Blogger, would they see value in selling blogs to business travelers in airports and why don't they have kiosks in major hubs too?).

Last year while flying, I found only two other airports offering wifi access: San Jose (SJC) and Dallas (DFW). One other odd finding was paying $5.95 for wireless at one wayport-equipped airport (austin), then having a stopover in Dallas (also covered by wayport) required a separate $5.95 account, even though I was within the 24 hours originally purchased.

As a complete aside, I noticed on my six flights that I was surrounded by giner ale drinkers. Sure, once in a while I run into someone that loves fresh ginger, or I find a non-cola drinker that insists on it, but my rowmates on four of the flights were drinking it. Everyone was asking for it. The staff was running out of it. People were getting testy when they went without it.

The data's a bit of an outlier, and I have the feeling I missed some trendster proclaiming it as the miracle drink du jour. So what's the deal with it? Is it the new Atkin's Brau? The favorite juice for sugarbusters? Did Oprah plug it as one of her favorite products out of the blue?
