The left handle also controls the focus, using a similar method to the hardware store follow focus we looked at in January. Like [...]
• Building removable epoxy mounting brackets

Recently, I started watching an anime series called Mushi-shi. It’s another short anime, with a total of 26 episodes, and was so good that I finished it within two or so days.

Plot Summary: They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as “Mushi”. Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. Ginko is a “Mushi-shi” who travels around to investigate and find out more about the “Mushi”. In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurances which may be related to the “Mushi”.

It’s rare to find short animes that leave you satisfied. The final episode of the anime wasn’t the best, but because of how each episode can be watched without seeing the previous ones, it doesn’t really matter since they don’t have some huge climax waiting for you or anything. I’m a big fan of the supernatural and this really did it for me…lol Watch it! I personally saw it dubbed since this allows me to multitask better (not having to read a screen is nice) and the dubbing was great.

Check out Nintendo DSi vs DSi XL – Comparison of Features for more information and a comparison of these two awesome hand-held devices.
