EVIL cameras

If you want a digital camera that takes interchangeable lenses, your only option is DSLR. But perhaps not for long. Apparently several manufacturers are looking into developing Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens (EVIL) cameras. They will have no mirror or optical viewfinder. They will have an electronic viewfinder like SLR-type consumer point and shoot cameras, but lens mounts like SLRs. I have to assume that the lens mounts will be compatible with current SLR systems, though it is possible that manufacturers would design special mounts for these cameras.

"Please make accommodations for my stupidity"

I was hangin out on day last week and heard a knock at the door. I was like "WTF?" 'cause nobody ever knocks on our door and I was not expecting anyone. So I answer it. It's the lady who just moved into the house across the street.

"Is that your car?" she asks.
"Yes, that is my car?" I ask.
"Would you mind moving it? We just moved in across the street and my husband almost hit [your car] backing out of our driveway."

My car is along the street on the opposite side of the road from their driveway. Granted, the street is a bit narrow, but there is legal parking on both sides of the street.

But I am now parking elsewhere because I really don't want them to hit my car when they are backing their Canyonero.
