Yesterday we had in Finland the yearly "don't buy anything day" (info in Finnish). Crime: we got a new cabinet for our living room. Punishment: it took over two hours to assemble the cabinet from the parts.

Now that the don't buy anything day is safely behind, I feel somewhat safe in posting a link to Shawn's Selections: Cameras I would buy or recommend. Panasonic LX3 is on the list, as are both Olympus E-P1 and Panasonic GF1. (Compare with the worst cameras.)

Here are three photographs taken today. Yesterday I didn't take any photos as I was busy after the workday. First, I assembled a cabined. Later in the evening we had the Christmas party of our company. Crime: I used all of the free drink coupons. Punishment: feeling extremely tired today. (By the way, also last year I wrote a posting about the Christmas party.)
