Flowers from my backyard. - I finally got a new battery charger for my Nikon D5100. The former charger did not like the sandstorms in Jordania last winter. Slowly it became absolutely useless... Now with a new charger all is fine and I'm happy. (Juha H.)

Sonuus G2M

I got today an all new Sonuus G2M Guitar to MIDI converter. Nice little gadget. I tried it with my half-acoustic classical Yamaha guitar and with Stratocaster. It worked quite nicely even with a nylon stringed instrument. But with electric guitar it was actually very good. Later I'll try it some more.

Uusi huilu ja vempain

I got a new wooden querfloten. It's small the size of a recorder traverse flute and thus it's a bit hard to play in tune. But it sounds so good. And while blowing you can change dynamics - you can play it louder and softer - which is quite hard or impossible with a recorder...

And I got an all new and shiny recordig machine - Zoom H4N. But I hadn't much time to check it - only that the gadget works fine - because of the new flute.

iPod

iPod is a wonderous gadget. I bought one a week ago. (Well, I've been using Sini's iPod for a year and thus had some previous experience...) Today I loaded some more music onto its HardDisk - Frank Zappa, Bela Bartok, Einar Englund and Jean Sibelius. Both our iPods are synced to the same computer and contain the same albums, some 200 or more of them. But there is still plenty empty space to fill on both iPods - the other is 80G Classic model and the other is 120G... How many full lenght CDs can I put there? And what I like the most - the sound quality is pretty good, way better than on any ordinary Mp3 player...

While the computer and iPods crunched the music I had ample time to blow my flute. So nice!
