Undeniably Geetha and I have been swamped and focused on work for the past several weeks, so it was comforting this weekend when we finally found furniture for the Nursery that we both loved, that was local enough to be delivered.

We had been looking at a small Massachusetts based furniture store called Jordans, which had a nice selection of fairly high-end cribs… and had actually debated driving the furniture back from Natick or Nashua… So when we were at Kid’s Town in South Burlington, we were very happy to stumble upon a crib set that we both really liked that could be delivered right to our door…

We selected a crib systems that’s called “Built to Grow,” or some derivative of that phrase, which basically means that the crib converts from a standing crib, to a toddler day-bed, to a full-size headboard and footboard. In our attempts to be relatively frugal, we felt that if we were going to spend this much on a crib, it should be able to last beyond the infant/toddler phase… We’ll see.

Given that there is a new baby on the way, increases the need to take pictures… After a tiny bit of research, and a whole lot of chatting on the phone, and hemmming and hawwwing, Geetha and picked out the camera pictured to the right of this text, the Leica D-Lux 3. It is a simple point and shoot, and while we’re still trying to master some of the nuances, it appears to take pictures of a quality that we’re feel we’re going to be happy with… One aspect which is unique to the D-Lux 3 is the ability to take pictures in a 16:9 image ratio (wide-screen)… the image below was me playing around with the camera this morning…. Be forwarned… the image that the following links to is over 3MB, for anyone out there doing Research on the D-Lux…
