2003.12,
Dear Diary,
Dad rat the
ding busted blankety heck, anyhow. I read that in an old comic
book back at Berkely in the fifties. I never needed to say it
until now.
How the heck
did this happen? We tried so hard to do everything just right.
Then blammo, suddenly my Hanes are twisted up and my tummy isn't
feeling too well.
It's that
noise thing. What's with THAT?
Oooo. Gotta
run...
Later,

2003.8,
Dear Diary,
The 828. That
got him.
We read his
fine print and when he said we should not let the 717 become
the end of the swivel cam line, I took the page to our engineers.
They agreed. The black body was a natural and the bigger zoom
with its wider 28 mm equivalent setting should get him right
between the eyes! What he didn't know about last year was the
plan for the 8 and 11 megapixel chips. Oops. Hope nobody catches
the eleven thing.
Sleep is good
these days. It's always a comfort to know the future of our little
project is secure in its evolution.
I guess the
guy is going to have to revise his eBook thing. Ha. My work is
relaxing and his is just starting. I'll bet he has a revised
version out before Christmas.
Oh, look at
the time.
Later,
...mr. sony.

2002.9,
Dear Diary,
What a bunch
of summer. Everywhere I look, all kinds of people are shooting
pictures with that big silver camera. Nice to see it so popular.
That guy in
California did a good thing. He came out with a whole book about
my baby. Just at the last minute he got his hands on the baby's
brother and his book thing--I'm not sure what this means, but
somehow he spells "book" with an "e" in it
(can you do that?)-- anyhow, his book let all the secrets out
of the bagies.
I got a preview
copy and there went the week! All those Photoshop macros he made
for my baby. How do those California kids say it? Kewul? Bitchering?
Something like that.
I've been
hunting around on my hard drive looking for older night time
pictures to run throught that nifty iCrosstar filter series.
Just like a big honking glass cross star filter, only it happens
inside the computer. Bitchering indeed.
Oops. 2 AM.
Time to be packing it inward. Later, dudettes. (My slang class
has been fun, too.)

2002.4,
Dear Diary,
I'm feeling
pretty good these days, what with the worldwide acceptance of
the 707. Sometimes I think I just worry too much.
That sepia
thing--turns out to be not a problem after all. Some guy in California
realized that the Green channel of the image was an ideal B&W
image. He even wrote a Photoshop Action for resolving the sepia
image into a true B&W shot right in the computer.
Too bad it
doesn't just work in our own computers--the guy made it for all
of them!
Maybe the
next big camera will include different "types" of film
the way our HD cameras do over in the High Definition Video Department.
Now we are
working extra hard on the left side of things. Soon everything
will be completely perfect.

2002.1,
Dear Diary,
I am soooo
sorry about not bringing out a 'perfect' camera. Believe me,
if I didn't have to pay attention to profits, time, my Enron
stock and technological advances, I would have delivered el Perfecto
707.
The lack of
Saturation controls, Contrast controls, B&W and daylight
infrared shooting... These are things that keep me up at night,
to be sure.
Yeah, we got
that Sepia thing the video guys insisted was going to be a big
hit, and there is always Photoshop...
But I've been
taking some nasty digs from loyal customers who want perfect
screen and print images right out of the camera. As if.
And I swear,
this is going to be the last camera with a stupid "Posterize"
trick inside. Geez.
All I can
say is this: We are working on it. We have some ideas even N****
missed.
Those guys
are very clever, but they don't seem to get it that a digital
camera needs the speed and controls usually found on video cameras.
Ha! They never designed a video camera, and it shows.
Oh, well,
it's getting late. Time to turn in and dream about tomorrow.
...mr. sony.
