Filed under: Digital Cameras If the Nikon D90's questionable 720p movie mode did nothing for you, or if you're a self-proclaimed Canon fanboy through and through, there's at least a sliver of a chance you bit on the EOS 50D. Now that you've had a solid month to flex that shutter finger and pore over the results, how are you liking things? Experiencing a huge dose of buyer's remorse? Absolutely elated with the low-light performance? Did you find enough extras to warrant the upgrade from a D40? We're just looking to hear how you really like / dislike Canon's latest mid-range DSLR, and more importantly, how you'd do things differently if given the keys to the company's R&D lab. Get to spoutin', won't you?How would you change Canon's EOS 50D? originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:30:00 EST.

As a prospective homebuyer, I have watched enough HGTV to learn a few things: people like open floorplans and they like big kitchens with stainless steel appliances—but they don't like wallpaper. Still, that has not deterred designers from trying to make wallpaper appealing again. One such designer named Camilla Diedrich is attempting to achieve this feat using intricate designs and fiber optics. Her Nature Ray Charles series comes in several different colors and can be purchased for about $231 a roll—although there are no details on how the wallpaper works or how it is applied. It still looks too busy if you ask me, plus that lighting effect could get real annoying real quick—unless there is a way to shut off the power (or you are tripping balls 24 hours a day).

Circles of social fluency per Chris Lott, with a bit of help from me.This week's program on the Connectivism MOOC is about new roles for educators in a connected world, and the most interesting input was Nancy White talking about how we bring about change.Christy Tucker took great notes from the recorded discussion and the backchanneling of participants. My top 10 takeaways:Communities are the basis for change, and what they need more than anything now is excellent stewardship. Facilitators, please stand up.The great value of networks is that they enable groups of people to organize, collaborate, do the work each is best at, and share the work needed to bring about the change, and then show others its value.Change has to start with an identified need, not with a good idea. Generally, we only change when we must. Listen for needs.We need to create safe places to explore and work on bold ideas. Skunkworks can often accomplish more than large amounts of funding.Change, like great research, begins with asking important questions, and provoking respondents to self-change instead of trying to persuade or impose it.To bring about change, be prepared to work with people, listen and understand what works and what is important for them, and engage them in ways they see value in and relate to. And be totally, brutally honest about what you don't know, aren't sure about, or difficulties in the path of desired change. And stay open to other ideas and concerns.If you want to accomplish great change, give up the idea of getting the credit for it.Experiment. The best, profound changes come from masses of iterative learning and exploration of possibilities.Create the starting conditions for momentum, enthusiasm, sufficient resources, the right people, and don't worry about outcomes.Make it easy. When you make it easier to change, to do the right thing, it will succeed more quickly and profoundly than if it requires a lot of work from every person.PS: I've switched to a Mac today, and it doesn't seem to support my my blog on the ancient creaky Radio Userland platform, so if I'm down for a few days, bear with me.Category: Let-Self-Change and Self-Experimentation
