» Go to this postTwo recent developments make me happy, because my idea about a truly portable cellphone is about to come to fruition. The first is the development of the Motorola F3 cellphone, which was built to be cheap and thin, have a long-lasting battery, and use E-ink for its display. Now, Samsung has just come up with [...]
» Go to this postMy mother was fed up with multiple crashes on her Windows laptop, and wasn’t sure what to do. Should she get a new Windows laptop? Should she try to fix the existing laptop? It was all very traumatic for her, because she lost precious data with each crash.
When I first suggested she switch to Apple, [...]
I dug up some old photos of mine from November of 2002, taken from the train as it passed through the Carpathian mountains in Romania. They’re posted below. I apologize for their graininess, but I took them with an old APS camera and scanned them years after they were developed. But they get the point [...]
» Go to this postOn a freezing cold January morning, the sky called out to me. It said, why don’t you venture out in your pajamas and take a photo of the sunrise? I obeyed, of course.
» Go to this postWe read about software that can improve blurry photos these days, and about significant improvements to autofocus on even inexpensive cameras. We look at photos that we take, the washed out ones, and wish we’d have exposed them a little less, or a little more. We wonder how they can be improved.
My solution points to [...]
I’m patting myself on the back because I’ve just passed 30,000 views on Zooomr. I passed 10,000 views a little more than a month ago, so it looks like my photo traffic doubled. The fact that I’ve got over 5,000 photos up might also have something to do with it, but hey, let’s not over-analyze. [...]
» Go to this postDo you think mini-guns are cute? Well, get a load of this .17 caliber Browning machine gun? It’s so cute, you might just shoot yourself to see if it hurts. (Please don’t do that, it could be fatal!)
Fed up with the current immigration debate? See how the American Indians dealt with the dreaded Pilgrim immigration [...]
» Go to this postI’ve been doing a bit of research about the ability to edit a photo’s EXIF data, and I came across four pieces of software, three of them for the PC and one for the Mac.
The first one, recommended by people in various forums, is PowerEXIF Editor, made by a company called Opanda. Everyone seems to [...]
Those of us using iPhoto (up to version 6) are probably pretty disappointed to find out that we can’t edit a photo’s EXIF data. What’s more, whatever data we add to the photo (changing title, date, description, rating) also doesn’t get stored to a photo’s EXIF fields. Instead, it gets put in some other associated [...]
» Go to this postI thought I’d put together this list of arguments you could use to make the case for telecommuting at your workplace. No, there’s nothing special about the number 13. That’s how many reasons I came up with. If you know of more, please let me know and I’ll be glad to publish them here.
First, I [...]
It seems I’ve picked up a theme in my earlier video post, where I highlighted some pretty weird behavior from Steve Ballmer. This next video is pretty sad as well. It’s a “remade” U2 song about the merger between MBNA and Bank of America, sung by two dudes with ties and very brown noses.
