Jake Ludington's Digital Lifestyle

I wrote about the Zoho online office applications recently and complained the company required a different sign-on for each of the applications. This week they announced that the sign on is unified, so you only need one username for all the services. This is a great step in the right direction for a product I already consider the best online solution for word processing and spreadsheets. While I'm admittedly still not ready to completely abandon Microsoft Office in favor of something that lives online I'm continuing to regularly use Zoho Writer for some quick projects.

I'm currently in the process of putting together some comparisons of the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1a and other digital video cameras. While it doesn't do incredibly well in low light (which I expected) it's taking some great looking images. I'll post some side-by-side comparisons with some other consumer grade cameras, including my Panasonic 3CCD standard def camera and the Sony HD cam Bre Pettis uses for the Make Weekend Projects videos. So far I'm impressed with the performance.
