waiting

I was never a fan of waiting. I hate the feeling of waiting. The agony of waiting and not knowing what the outcome is. Unfortunately for me, this is the stage where I am at now.
A week ago I made a daring move to try and venture out and try other opportunities outside my comfort zone.  I submitted my application to one of the big companies here in our town. I made the initial interview, passed the exam, but not pretty sure how well I did in the panel interview. There were two interviewees that time, I got word that one interviewee said I did OK, but not that impressive with the other one. So I guess that leaves me in limbo with no clear closing as to how I did with my panel interview. So now, there’s pretty much nothing I can do. I can follow up my application with the company, but knowing that it has only been a week, I guess it’s too early to do so. 
I need to keep myself preoccupied or at least get my thoughts of my application. Still, I hate this feeling. Hopefully, I would get word from the company anytime soon. With a little luck and the much needed blessings from above, I hope I hear good news.

120 megapixel sensor by Canon

A new 120 megapixel 29.2 x 20.2mm APS-H CMOS sensor has been developed by Canon. The new 120 megapixel 29.2 x 20.2mm APS-H CMOS sensor is the same size used in its EOS 1D series of professional DSLRs. Canon says that the sensor is the highest resolution in the world for its size. The sensor covers 120 million pixels compared to similarly sized sensors that cover only 16.1 million pixels. The sensor, for which Canon has announced no production plans, has a pixel count nearly 7.5 times larger than the company's highest pixel count commercially available sensor. It offers full HD recording (using 1/60th of its surface area) and can deliver 9.5fps continuous shooting. This follows a 50 million pixel sensor of similar format the company developed in 2007. The new CMOS sensor is also capable of 9.5 frames per second for continuous shooting of very high-resolution images. The sensor also has full HD video output capability from any 1/60 sized area of its total surface. The new sensor measures about 29.2 x 20.2 mm. Canon is offering no details on when the new sensor might find its way into DSLR cameras that we can buy.

It has been ages since I last hanged out with the boys. My friends that go way back my college years. Not that we lost communication, but it just so happened we have different priorities now, we still keep in touch but not as often as we did before. Since I am often out traveling and going to places, I decided that maybe I should treat a nice weekend in one of my favorite hotel, the Hampton. With good customer service, and excellent am
