Along with the other announcement Panasonic made today, they also told us about a new lens for their LUMIX G camera.

In fact, inventor Tim Leatherman shopped his idea around years before finally finding a company that was willing to sell his product. He formed his own company in 1983, and the rest is history.

Secrets bokeh~!Did you know that I’ve had the JVC Everio GZ-HM1SU in my possession for about a month now? Kinda hard to know that seeing as though I’ve never written about it.

Here’s something pretty neat. A man by the name of Linus Åkesson has turned an old organ into an 8-bit synth.All the original tone-generating parts have been disconnected, and the keys, pedals, knobs and switches rerouted to a microcontroller which transforms them into MIDI signals.
