pretzels for pacman?
I've still been taking photos, mostly just Melbourne ones, though I haven't been mentioning it here. Here's a few from December :
...and from this month, so far :
My G2's now over 2 years old. Is it time for a new one? I don't know whether to go for size (Ixus 400) or whether to just give up and go and buy an EOS 300D and be done with it (and like, learn how to use it properly). Either way, I can't see myself just buying a G5. It's a fine camera, but I guess I have to make the, er, "hard" decision. I'd appreciate guidance from all my friends out there who know way more about this stuff than I do (you know who you are).
If you want more, here's a good rundown of some of the LJ communities that post interesting photos (I've yet to post any there myself, I'm worried about getting myself mired in a whole new world of politics...).

Help Save The World
I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.
i donate to :
but there's other things worth worrying about too, like :

Replied to this yesterday but IE ate it when I hit "back." You don't save preview comments, do you?
Anyway, in brief, I reckon you should go small. I've have a medium sized-camera (CoolPix 885) and I now have a small one (CoolPix 3700). The small one has been much better to me. It's small enough to fit into a jacket pocket, at it has an integrated lens cap, both of which remove some psychological barriers to (1) carrying the camera around in the first place (not so much regret when you carry it around all day and don't take a picture) and (2) actually getting it out to take pictures (because it's not so much trouble to get out and put back).
The picture quality seems to be about the same (both are 3mp, which may not be enough for your liking).
P.S. iPhoto 4 really is very much faster than 2. Quite usable on my machine (white iBook G�/500) actually.

Yeah. I reckon I'll just get an IXUS 400 unless there's anything else particularly cool I oughta know about, though I've yet to find anything. (the IXUS takes CF too, which preserves my investment in a handful of CF cards...).
