Canadians – Buy Apps with iTunes Giftcards!
Finally, all you Canadian’s out there can buy applications from the App store with your iTunes Giftcards, also known as store credit. A few months ago, you were not able to purchase apps in Canada without having a credit card. Although the US has had this feature as a part of their purchasing system for a while now, this is the first time for Canadians to be able to use these giftcards to purchase applications. As you can see in the pictures above and below, it shows me purchasing an app while having a balance of $15.00 then after, the balance decreased after the app was purchased showing you that it does in fact work with store credit/giftcards!

I Now Have a DSLR Camera! The Nikon D3000!
I know it has been a very long time since I have updated my blog. Well, it’s almost been a month! I truly apologize for that! I started my junior year of High School and things have been pretty busy! But I just wanted to share with you that I got this new DSLR Camera! It is my first DSLR and I absolutely love it! It is great for somebody starting out with something other than a point-and-shoot camera! I have had it now for about 3 weeks and I have went out taking pictures a couple of times on weekends because during the week, school takes up most of my time. You can click here or click the Flickr link on the side of my website to view some of the pictures taken with this camera. I will definitely be doing somewhat of a review of this camera after I get used to it and feel I know a lot about it! So make sure to stay tuned for that! And I promise that now, I will start updating my blog regularly again!
Seagate PC Hard Drive Do Work on Mac Computers!
Just a few days ago, I went to Wal-Mart because I saw that they had a deal on Seagate hard drives. My MacBook has been losing space by the day with all the video files I have and I knew it was time to get an external portable hard drive. Once I saw that you could get a 320GB hard drive for $69.00 I was happy! And not to mention, they had it in a lime green color! When I saw the color, I knew I had to have it!
The problem was that when we got there, I looked at the package and noticed that it was for PC, and didn’t mention Mac anywhere!
Disappointed, I left Wal-Mart without getting my lime green hard drive that I wanted so much. I then realized while we were at another store about formatting the hard drive. So then I got on my iPhone and started looking to see if I could get this PC hard drive to work on my Mac!
I finally found the solution! It is possible to reformat your PC hard drive and use it on your Mac! Right on seagate’s website it says that the only difference between the Mac and PC hard drives is that they are already pre formatted. So you just have to reformat it to work with your system!
If there are any of you out there wanting this hard drive, go get it! It is definitely worth it. Make sure to come back for a follow up post where I tell you how to reformat your drive!
Incase Perforated Cases
Just last week I received these Incase Perforated Cases in the mail. I ordered them from eBay, for a whopping $0.01! The shipping was just a little over $7.00, but for 6 cases, I thought that was great! I was looking on Incase’s Website one day and noticed these. But the colors they had on their website were only blue, black, white, and pink. At first when I saw these on eBay, I thought they were fake because Incase didn’t have all of these colors available on their website. The only way I could tell for sure was by the Incase logo on the side of the case. I looked at the pictures on the Incase website and it showed the incase logo on the side of the case as seen in the picture above. I knew when I got these and the exact logo, in the exact place, that these were the real deal. I don’t know if in different countries they have different colors, or if they just dyed the white colored cases to give them some color.
I really like these cases and they offer just the right protection for my iPhone 3GS. The only I am concerned with this case is that the top and bottom are a little exposed and you can get those scratched easily. I am going to post some more pictures and you will be able to see what I am talking about. Click more for a few extra pictures of these cases and an unboxing.
Canon Vixia HF M30 HD Camcorder Case
I got this Camcorder case for my Canon Vixia the other day because I wanted something to protect it from just normal things like drops, dirt, dust, etc. I got this on eBay for around $15.00 and it was worth every penny. This case is protected by a velcro fold, and zippers on both sides to conceal the Camcorder. On the inside it has a main compartment for the Camcorder, and two pockets on either side of the Camcorder for other things like remotes, or straps. On the side of this case it has hooks to allow you to attach the strap that came with it for easy carrying. This bag is actually a lot bigger than it looks, and that is a great thing! It does its job well! To see more pictures, click more.

Just Bought the Canon Vixia HF M30!
Here it is! I have been waiting patiently for it! My parents wanted to get it for me because all of my grades were above 90% in each class. I went to get it last week but they were sold out so I got it now!
I am posting this from my iPhone right now in the car, so I can’t wait to get home and unbox it and start making some videos!
A full overview and review will be coming soon!
