Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction are touring this summer. I would be lying if I said I wasn't incredibly exciting about this show. NIN was straight fire at the Virgin Festival last year and I've never seen Jane's. Hot.

Semi-related: Check out this NIN concert video shot on the Canon 5D MKII. Obviously the audio is from another source, but still! *Jaw drops*

Among the many advancements in Canon's new EOS 5D Mark II camera is the Company's proprietary DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor that powers the camera's fast 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion for smooth color tones and exceptional gradation. The Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR offers a full-frame 24 x 36mm, 21.1 megapixel CMOS sensor and continuous shooting at 3.9 frames per second (fps) for an unlimited number of full-resolution JPEGs to the capacity of the memory card or up to 14 RAW images in a single burst when using a UDMA CF card. The camera includes a 15-point Autofocus (AF) sensor with nine selectable AF points plus six additional Assist AF points (three center AF points sensitive to f/2.8 lenses) with enhanced light source detection and AF microadjustment for greater autofocus performance. The EOS 5D Mark II camera also features a large, clear 3.0-inch Clear View LCD screen with 920,000 dot/VGA resolution, four times the pixel count of the EOS 5D camera's 2.5-inch screen, for enhanced clarity and color when viewing images.
It also shoots HD video. I won't be buying one but at least Canon is back in the game. I'd love to see the 15 point autofocus system migrate down to the next version of the 50D.
Info here, but nothing terribly exciting (at least for us 40D owners). The new Digic 4 processor is intriguing, but not enough to buy another new body. I want more focus points. More info here.
Seems like every time I turn on the Olympics, it's either diving or boxing. Boooring. I still haven't seen the Redeem team play at all.
In other news, I have 457 saved items in my Bloglines account. Here are a few of them:

A story in Business Week about a thriving newspaper industry in Germany surmises that the problems with US newspapers is not the internet it's the content.
Kelly Shimoda and the Art of the Text Message. Brilliant.

10 Pieces of Photo Gear Under $50 You Should Own.
50 photos of people all taken with my 50mm lens. Again, brilliant.
Underworld's setlist at Virgin Fest. I still need to upload those photos.
The Baltimore Round Robin tour sounds like a very Baltimore thing to do. Especially because THEY ARE SKIPPING DC. Seriously, they should just make signs that say "F DC."
MOP + Sesame Street = awesome.
WOXY Lounge Act Recap - Thao w/ The Get Down Stay Down. Although teetering into very Ani DiFranco territory at times, she was pretty damn good at the Black Cat last week.
Sad news. Jerry Finn has passed away. That makes me incredibly sad.
Lastly, Happy Bday to Amanda, one day early.
Everyone has been waiting for Canon to release the new 5D for what seems like forever. In the interim they keep releasing beginner cameras (Seriously, you don't have enough kinds of Digital Rebels now?) while Nikon keeps releasing higher end prosumer models that are enough to make me drool. The new full frame D700 is kinda ugly but has a very rich feature set.
I'm pretty happy with my 40D (save for the LCD screen), but Canon needs to raise its game soon if it's going to keep pace.
