I don’t really intend to take my Canon EOS 7D into the water anytime soon, but for some reason, I’m a bit fascinated by underwater camera housings (or is it houses?). The very fact that I can take my camera into some place that’s totally not meant for a camera to be just makes me wish I had an underwater case to house my Canon 7D in.
Well, Ikelite sells an impressive looking underwater housing for the Canon EOS 7D for about $1500. I’m still not going to buy it, but it sure is the most complete underwater housing I’ve seen for the Canon 7D yet. It has controls for just about every part of the camera (except the multi-directional button on the back) and allows one to bring the Canon 7D up to 60m down into the water to either take still photos or video of whatever’s down there.
I’m not an audiophile but I do like the cans over my ears to be rather decent and while I don’t expect these Sony MDR-XB500 headphones to be better than my Koss PortaPro headphones (they’re pretty hard to beat), they do look cool enough for me to want to give them a try.
I just wonder if the $50 pricetag is worth the sound quality coming out of these “extra bass” Sony MDR-XB500 headphones.
The late DJ AM was a huge sneakerhead during his lifetime and a large portion of his unique shoe collection is now on eBay. As expected the prices for his very sought-after shoes are incredibly high, but proceeds from the sale of these shoes go toward the DJ AM Memorial Fund.
Want to know how that live fish dish I posted earlier might have been cooked? Look no further than this Chinese cooking competition that puts chefs up against each other to see who can cook and serve a live snake and fish the fastest.
Did you know that a fish’s scales can resist heat up to about 700 degrees Fahrenheit? Yeah, it’s a pretty remarkable little known fact that allowed this fish above to remain alive even after it’s been cooked.
If you believed that first sentence, you fail. I was just kidding. But the above video IS of a fish that is still moving after being cooked. Cantonese people in the background of course.
