I've got my eyes on a new camera - the Sony a6000. All the review have been positive about the two things I really want in a new camera. Fast focusing and great low light capability. I've been using the Sony NEX-3N for a while, but it doesn't have a view finder, and that's something I've discovered that I miss greatly. It's very difficult to focus in bright sun. And we have bright sun in Arizona!
Here's a picture of the a6000. Oh, I should mention that the lenses used on my 3N can be used on the a6000. Another justification.
Pretty, isn't it?
On to other techie things.
Lifehacker - The Complete Guide to Avoiding Windows Crapware
As you know, Lifehacker is my favorite site, so I do tend to reference them when I can. Anyway, I have seen a computer or two whose web browser looks like this --
This happens when a user downloads software and does not read each installation page (and the fine print) and let's the installation install these added goodies. Sometimes the installation questions are very confusing - hoping that you'll give permission to install more than you really want.

Logitech K480 Keyboard
Another site I like is drippler.com. It gives me a daily "drip" applicable to the device. This particular "drip" discusses a Bluetooth keyboard that could be used for several devices. Interesting. Go to http://goo.gl/rBostn

RVing Tech Sites
I stumbled upon a couple of RVing site you might find useful. Snowmads (might not be updated frequently) and Technomadia. I must also tell you about www.geeksontour.com. This couple has made a business of providing information for the RVing Geek. Seems to have a LOT of useful stuff, some of which is free. I'd recommend "following" their blog.
