I’ve had a few folks email me over the past few weeks about camera recommendations. I’ spare the long-winded suggestions and give you the short-n-sweet version.

When it comes to top of the line camers (yes Sony and others produce high-qulity cameras) the top two players in the market are Cannon and Nikon. Both produce quality products and both have comperable models. Talk to any professional and they will recommend either, though they will swear by one. They will usually swear by the one they started with (ie - the one most accustomed to).

I swear by Nikon… my first great camera experience.

It’s pretty simple… pick one and I promise (promise) you will never regret it.

Those of us with HBO (man it feels good to finally have HBO - Entourage, movies, and Wedding Crashers over, and over, and over) have seen Dane Cook’s Vicious Circle one too many times. It gets a little too vulgar at times, so Dane’s appearance on SNL last week was a refreshing dose of Dane that could appear on the blog.

In a new series I’ll be running on the blog, endorsements, on which I’ll go through a list of products/services that I’ve found very useful/helpful/dependable.

However, let’s not confuse this for products that you’ve never heard of.

Many of you have these things, and I want your feedback and recognition of a good product and/or service. I don’t want your smart remarks how you’ve “…been using this since forever.” That hurts my feelings. And I might cry.

Consider this like my version of Oprah’s ‘Favorite Things.’ Only, I won’t give these things away to you at the end of the show.
