The new Nirvana box set was released late last week and I was curious to find out what was in the box set. The set comes with 3 CD of 61 Nirvana songs that have not been released before and one DVD. I am not much of a Nirvana fan, but was intrigue by some of their songs. I felt compel to check out the latest installment from them since Kurt eliminated himself. This release is full of live or demo (at least it sounds like it) recordings that are raw and unedited or enhanced. This is how Nirvana is like, loud, crude and at times, senseless. I believe a fan would love all the 61 songs, but for me, I will stick to the selected few. I would not spend my money on this box set. I would rather buy individual tracks from itunes or elsewhere. ?You Know you are Right? was one of the last songs that Kurt wrote and sang and was tainted with some legal issues prior. Critics says that this was Kurt?s best. To me, I love the acoustic guitar moves and the way he sings the song which haunts. The recording was not that clear, and was rather soft. If this song were to be dressed up, it would be much easier to digest.

I finally decided on Energizer and bought the 15minutes charger that comes with 4 2200mAh batteries for $27 at Target.  There was this guy at the Canon Talk forum at dpreview.com that advice against Energizer because the charger, according to him charge the batteries in burst mode, and is bad for the batteries and also cannot charge other types of batteries other than Energizer.  I decided to get it to test it out, to find out if what he was saying is really true.  To me, I don’t really care if the batteries last forever or just last 500 cycles.  Nothing is forever anyway, the more we recognize this fact, the more we can deal with changes.

Anyway, I got the batteries and whola, the batteries were ready in 15 minutes.  In addition, there was also a cooling fan built into the charger to cool off the batteries.  This is the first time I sees any cooling fan in a battery charger.  The fan is making a loud noise, like all fans do, and think this is more good than bad.  First it cools down the batteries, which is good for them, and secondly, I can now locate where I charge the batteries.  In the past, I have to go looking into corners to find where I charge the batteries.  The noise was not too loud and it is softer than the computer fan sound.  

By the way, Energizer.com boast that they replies all enquiries within 24 hours, and today is almost a week since I send them my question regarding the charger, and I have yet seen any reply.  

I notice these buttons on the hotel phone recently. Will have to try them out before I leave?.
