Hands On With the Canon T1i (Now With More Photo Tips!)
I finally got some time over the weekend to play around with the Canon T1i and the verdict stands: it's amazing! Not only are the pictures crisp and clear, but overall, the camera is a joy to use. I bought an inexpensive camera bag from Best Buy last week to protect it while en route to various places in the city, and quickly realized how light the T1i really is — a few times I panicked because I wasn't sure the camera was actually in the bag!
Apple Uses 30 Rock to Show Off Find My iPhone
Yesterday's WWDC event was an exciting place to be, especially since it was my first time at the annual conference. For those not as into tech, though, I admit that a developer's conference doesn't exactly sound scintillating, but Apple always does what it can to make their keynotes entertaining, like with musical guests.

On the other hand, when a gadget is merely offered in pink additionally, and not just in a "It's pink!
The Department of Energy's Geek Tip Is a Hilarious Commercial
In an effort to educate people about energy-saving tips, the Department of Energy has a new website (Lose Your Excuse) and a couple of new, cute commercials with kids demonstrating the facts, like this one, where the young April gets caught in the old "I don't have a cell phone" lie. Oh, and hopefully you already knew the tip — that keeping your cell phone charger plugged in, even not charging, is using energy.
Björk, On How TVs Work
Though not as hilarious as Audrina learning about the Large Hadron Collider, but adorable for a different reason, this video of Björk demonstrating what goes on inside the guts of a television is my new favorite YouTube video.
Listen to her (I could listen to her explain just about anything in that Icelandic accent) tell you what she learned from her Danish television book, and of course, the lies she endured from poets. Trust me: it makes sense after you watch the video.
