Earlier this year, I found myself needing a new camera. My previous one, a Toshiba H20, hardly made it out of the drawer it called home, yet it needed repairs and replacing over it's 2 year life span.

Once my camera had been written off by the company taking care of repairs, I decided to start the search for a new camera and one that really caught my eye, was the Sony Bloggie 3D.

At the time, I was planning on purchasing a 3D TV and the combination of HD and 3D video recording really made the Bloggie stand out. At less than £200 as well, the camera just became more and more attractive with each passing comparison.

The camera's HD offering is OK, certainly not the best, but considering the price tag and it's other features, it's not worth complaining about either.

The 3D capability is pretty good, you don't need glasses to view the video on the device and you have the ability to adjust the effect, bringing the two frames closer together or further apart where necassary.

I've been using the camera a lot more than my Toshiba already and have uploaded a few short clips to YouTube.

It wasn't until around the year 2000 that I really began listening to rap and hip-hop. One thing, one person, seemed to work across a wide range of styles and genres while still being unique. That was Nate Dogg.

Sad news broke yesterday that he had passed away after complications that arose from his two strokes.

Indeed, he may not have been a model citizine in some respects, but he was an amazing artist. His collaborations with Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, his cousin Snoop Dogg and most importantly, Warren G were all made with the knowledge that his voice would add that something different to make the song stand out. Can you image Regulate without Nate Dogg?

Twelve Bar's Nick Jackson coined the 'King of the Hook' on twitter and it's an apt title in recognition of what his career was about.

Six or seven years ago, I purchased G-Funk Classivs Vol. 1 & 2 while in the States, as it was impossible to get in the UK, and although you could say that it didn't hit the heights of his collaborative efforts, his voice was still great to hear.

Here are a few music videos for your viewing and listening pleasure:

I've always been a big fan of Futura and his work. More recently, his photography has been entertaining me more than his work, but I came across this video and just had to share it!

A master at work, it's amazing to see the accuracy he can get with a spray can and some of his techniques.

Hope you enjoy the video as much as I did!
