If your first reaction to seeing Matthew McConaughey with his camera around his neck is "Tourist!," then you're in good company! I thought the same thing, even though I have to cop to wearing my camera around my neck — sometimes. If I have my little point-and-shoot camera, it's always in a case in my bag when not in use, but for my big, digital SLR, it's a different story.

When you take a short break from shooting photos, you're a little less cavalier about putting an expensive DLSR down just anywhere, but if you know you'll be taking more photos relatively soon, it's a pain to put it all the way back in the case.

So there it stays, dangling around my neck like a big, dorky necklace. But whatevs, it's safe. Sometimes I shoot with it around my neck, which ratchets the geek factor right up.

As for our man Mateo here, I have to give him the same pass I gave David Beckham for wearing a cell phone clip on his belt: Hands-on daddies need to be hands-free!

But tell me: What do you do with your camera, SLR, point-and-shoot, Polaroid, Flip video camera, etc.? Do you wear it around your neck or wrist, or always put it away when it's not being used?

Wii Fit fanatics, have I got the ultimate product for you. DreamGear has just come out with a Fitness Bundle that includes all the Wii Fit goodies you could ever want. For $60, you get a rechargeable battery pack, USB charging cable, jeli sleeve, fitness mat, travel bag, and one pair of "textured" socks.

The International Olympic Committee has already limited internet access for journalists covering the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China — which is bad enough — but now they are even imposing bans on professional camera equipment. The actual definition of "professional camera equipment" wasn't clearly defined on the official Olympics website, but many believe that this includes SLRs with big lenses (ones which would block views for spectators during the games).

Whatever the case, this isn't great news, considering you could take some amazing images with an SLR camera during the games. Although, if you are going to the Olympics, you can still take lots of shots with your point-and-shoot camera, which hasn't been banned . . . yet.

As geeked out as I was when Steve Jobs first announced the iPhone 3G and the new colors, I still remember feeling a little let down that we only got to choose from a black or white option, as exciting as those colors may be. Since my pulse quickened when I read the rumor that there may be a red iPhone, I knew I wouldn't be satisfied with the Oreo-color option for long!

Thankfully, Colorware, those artists who custom-color your gadgets (check out this pink BlackBerry Curve a TeamSugar user had "colorwared"), has just announced that they are ready to start colorwaring the iPhone 3G! Looking at the images on the site, I'm in love — and deciding what will go best with my Fall wardrobe!
