Getting a charge out of it…:)

Filed under: General — greymatter 2.0 @ 2:25 pm

Still buying batteries? Everything takes power… :( Cameras, discman, cell phones, MP3 players. And even though a lot of these products have built in rechargeable power cells, the battery market is still strong. So why are more ppl going GREEN?

I’ve been using these Energizer Rechargeable I bought from Walmart. I wasn’t really moved to save the earth by having few batteries tossed in the trash or waste systems of America.. but by cost needs. I’m using external camera flashes pretty regularly and buying a 20 pak of AA batteries just to know that I had a fresh set, wasn’t working for me. I hate needing to go to the store. I like shopping but i hate going to the stores. ( lines, ppl, not finding what I want when I want it. lol) I’m up to 3 sets of 4 batteries. The chargers are bulky but do a fast job of recharging ( completely dead about 45 mins – 1 hour for full charge. I bought a new charger sytstem today. $30 – 4 batteries – 1 charger – 2 power options AC adapter and Car – 15 MINUTE charge. So now i can charge all 12 batteries in under an hour. :) $30 is kinda expensive but I think if you buy it and just get extra batteries things should good.

I have to research two things.
a) # of charges. Nothing lasts 4ever. After a while all batteries die. So how long is my question.
2)

New toys… :)

Canon Speedlite 580 II

Huge pro lvl flash. :)
A buddy of mine who dropped a HUGE load of $$ on her camera kit purchase told me to not be cheap when it comes to your tools. I agree in many ways. I just didnt have the $$ to drop on it at the time and i was using flash as often. Funny enough I have to ask her if she ever uses the flash she bought. It’s only needed to fill. And she does mostly natural subjects.

Anyway. I upped my Flash a bit sooner than i’d planned for, but I’m hoping it a good move. I needed to equip an associate so Upgrading i a-went. :)
Keep posted for equipment reviews and examples. :)

Crossing the lines.. or just an open form of appreciation..?

I .. enjoy Serena Williams …assets as much as ANY man willing to watch tennis… ( well i never watch b4 the Williams sister became pop starts, but the game is more interesting NOW. :) And YES.. here we see that Venus has DEFINITE stature.

Currently they are battling in the Aus Open. Doing quite well I’m hearing. BUTT… i mean but… is talking about a woman’s behind ON AIR allowed? If it were a US station I’m sure Jessy and AL would be UP in arms to stomp out the rude and indecent remarks made by a WHITE man about a Black QUEEN of America. NOT! Those two suck! Just need to stay home and eat prunes… :( Sorry i shouldn’t have said that. I don’t know them. Anyway.. I’m just curious if being “PC” should even matter. Esp if the point being made is completely true. Well discretion should key and Yes I know it had nothing to do with tennis… Butt… lol c’mon. It’s a work of art. I hope it’s insured. Like J-Lo. PLEASE heaven DO NOT let a sex tape get released. As much as I’d LUV to see it… I’d rather our women keep something discrete.

:) NinjaWORLD!

oh man.. that was a SERIOUS case of bad choice of words!!!

ok.. listening to it, I really don’t think she meant it as a slight against Tiger Woods. It HAPPENS to be a popular phrase.. and Tiger HAPPENS to be Black.. no matter what HE claims.. :)

But wow… “…lynch him in a back alley.” Kelly… I’m sorry it’s become such a “common” phrasing that using it just slips out liek that. But Al Sharpton…. PLEASE GO AWAY!!!!! I really wish these OLD ppl who ONLY act.. and OVER RE-ACT AFTER something has happened, would just STOP! U just want to seem like u’re still effective. Get a job and be a PRODUCTIVE member of society. Just like in the Jena 6 thing… LATE and OVER BLOWN! Where were you when issues were STARTING a year or two PRIOR to the Black kids ,s stomping the White kid. Or even be the Noose was hung! There were issues in the paper.. u did nothing. Please go away. Or better. Act via proxy. Have all ur experience and mold a Future Black Leader replacement. UR DONE!

UNfair! Well at least Amazon is good enough to refund it w/o issue. Yea Amazon… BOO eBay!

I now have a Cuisinart BT-500… It’s 600 watts so why it’s a 500 series, i cant say. :) Anyway. I’m BLENDING! Blah blah blah. Who cares right? I do.. and it’s MY blog so i’ll post as a please. :) I made my 1st smoothie last nite. It was a Green Smoothie ver 2.0

And it was pretty good I’d say. And I had a 2nd opinion who didn’t think it was AS horrid as the color would suggest. U don’t even taste the spinach. :) Honest. I didn’t realize how strong the taste of banana was. i LIKE it. :P
So this morning i BLENT…BLENDED…BLAHHHHHHHH… I made a smoothie of * drum roll* Banana, Vanilla yogurt, and carrots :) Oh.. I’m blending it ALL!!! And when I get the add on parts, the BT-500 will become the BT-500s which will process my food. I’m a lazy chopper! lol
