Have you seen the new TV series Fringe on Fox Network? This show is very intense and the next big thing after the X Files series. This show is masterfully crafted, written and co-produced by J.J. Abrams (creator of Lost, Alias, Felicity) and directed by Alex Graves (The Nines, The West Wing). Fringe is about pseudoscience, conspiracy theory and the blurring line between science fiction and reality. The cast of the series are Joshua Jackson, Anna Torv and John Noble. I barely follow any TV shows except the CSI: New York and CSI: Miami but this show kinda made me persuade to watch it. I was a big fan of X Files when it started but not when it ended. So see it for yourself and be the judge if you like this show.
You can also watch the full episode only on HD. Click the photo above or this link - Watch the video now
The Android running HTC Dream will cost $199, according to the Wall Street Journal and the smartphone will get an "aggresively priced" data plan from T-Mobile and receive some Heavy Google branding. The phone will be out 6 days from now. I won't recommend calling your T-Mobile customer service right now though because they will not give you any information nor sell you the phone. So just keep your wallet in check.
All I can say is Allellujah. I can finally send Picture and Video Messages again. I have waited for the release of this app (only on Cydia BTW on a Jailbroken phone). So watch out people. I have unlimited texts and picture messaging plan so I don't worry about sending stuff out. The app cost $8 and that's nothing compare to not having it working. Well, I'm just glad that it's back again.
This is the moment I've been waiting for. The unveiling of the new Canon 5D Mark II is here. Like the 5D, this camera shoots full frame but comes in 21-megapixel and the first to shot Full HD Video (1920x1080 resoulution at 30fps - 1080P). It also pack with mini-HDMI out to plug it directly to HDTV. The new 5D does Silent Shooting in Live View and comes with Integrated Cleaning System. (Seriously, I'm getting sick of bringing my camera to the shop to get it clean every time I have a photo shoot. So this will help a lot and having two 5D means no more switching lenses.)

I really can't wait to get mine. I'm getting bored with my iPhone and very frustrated not having MMS. Since I upgraded my iPhone to 2.0, I lost my SwirlyMMS app and it's taking them awhile to release the app for 2.0. The monthly plan of my Jailbroken iPhone with T-Mobile is dirt cheap compare to what AT&T customer pays with their iPhone and they don't even have any unlimited MMS. Also, T-Mobile is rolling out their 3G service here in Phoenix by the end of the year and I'm hoping they will roll it out in time for the release of the HTC Dream.
Check out the HTC Dream demos:
Before heading home, we went to The Getty Museum in LA. This is a must for me. I usually stop by here every time I go to Los Angeles. Not only they have stunning art collections, the view from up here is awesome. When the sky is clear, you will see Downtown LA on the south and the Pacific Ocean on the west.

We are staying here in Beverly Hills for the night and we are just a block off Rodeo Drive. We are heading home to Phoenix today but not until we do our last minute shopping in Rodeo Drive (Right). The weather here is 69F with high humidity. That's temp is hot here compare to Arizona that when the temp is 69F, it's already chilly.

A little bit foggy this morning and the ocean breeze was a little chilly. We had a lot fun playing in the water especially my two nephews.

We are heading to the beach this morning. Woke up at 6AM to get ready and to wake up the nephews. I hate the LA traffic so might as well beat them to it. We are going to Malibu and enjoy the nice ocean breeze early in this morning before it gets too hot.
We are leaving for LA in the afternoon. Just can't wait to be there. Change of scenery will be good for me. Can't wait to be on the beach and enjoy the breezy air. Hopefully I can post some photos while I'm there.
Got this on my email today. Canon 50D is now on sale and BH Photo in New York is taking orders and the camera will be ship in October. Just in time for Christmas.
