Because my brain is too small to rememeber all these junks…
Borrowed a Leica Digilux 2 “analog” digital camera from a friend today.. well, we camera-swapped just for this weekend since he wanted to play with my D70. My first impression was that it’s a solid camera with a GREAT lens and lots of manual controls, but I didn’t care much for slow electronic viewfinder, and slow auto-focus. Can’t wait ’till I take it out to field this weekend! :)

I just watched a fascinating program on KQED about a boy who’s penis was accidentally damaged beyond repair during circumcision, and was forced to live through middle of his teenage life as a girl. The program questions what determine’s human’s sex and if it is possible to alter it through proper “nurture”. He eventually learns of the fact, and goes back to the life as a man. Unforutunately, in the epilogue of the show (which was added after the show was origianlly aired), it is revealed that he commited suicide on May of this year…
