It was more than two years ago when we first flew on Spirit. We were supposed to leave on an early morning flight, but we arrived at the gate 29 minutes prior to departure. We weren’t allowed to board. At that time, Spirit had a 30-minute policy on their flights, and “anyone not at the [...]
» Go to this postReleased on August 24, 2006, the Rebel XTi is Canon’s newest entry-level prosumer DSLR. It’s an update on the popular Rebel XT, and it’s different from it as follows:
Slightly thinner body, heavier (2.56in vs. 2.63in and 510g vs. 485g)
Newer, re-designed sensor with higher resolution (10 megapixels vs. 8.2 megapixels)
Sensor cleaning technology (dust shaken off the [...]
Have you ever wondered how the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L and EF 24-105mm f/4L zoom lenses would do if compared side by side? Which one would come out as the winner in real-world use? Here’s my answer to that question.
First, some recommended reading:

» Go to this postI’ve been using the Zoom Search Engine for over a year, and I’ve been very happy with it. But today I realized I hadn’t told many people about it, so I had to fix that.
So what’s the Zoom Search Engine? It’s a beautiful piece of software written by WrenSoft, an Australian web software company. Here’s [...]
When Apple stated in their Hot News section that the Mac Pro line is cheaper than similarly-configured PCs, I couldn’t help writing this post. This half-truth has bothered me ever since the WWDC keynote address, when Apple’s marketing VP (I forget his name) did a comparison between an entry-level Mac Pro and a Dell and [...]
» Go to this postI posted a couple of days ago about the launch of the new 2007 MINI Cooper S, and I said I wasn’t too crazy about the exterior. I still hold that opinion, and to prove it, here are some photos of my very own 2003 Cooper S, alongside a couple of photos of the 2007 [...]
» Go to this postLast week, I got the following photos sent to me by email, and I don’t know who put them together. But I think you’ll agree they’re interesting enough to share. They are progressive views of our planet, doing side-by-side comparisons of it and other planets and stars, in order to give us an idea of [...]
» Go to this postIf you’re looking for a cogent comparison of evolution and creation, then watch this video. Dr. Doug Batchelor does a great job of presenting both topics in as fair a light as each deserves.
» Go to this postJust had a look at a new handheld phone review from Engadget Mobile called the Helio Kickflip, and the logo looked very similar to something I’d seen before… Could it be? Well, here they are, side by side, for comparison purposes.
The logo on the left belongs to the phone, and the one on the [...]
» Go to this postI’ve been a user of Hotmail for several years, probably since 1998. I can’t remember the date very well, but it’s been a long time. The point is, I had a Hotmail account long before Gmail came out. Why do I say this? Because I stuck with Hotmail through the years. That’s not to say [...]
» Go to this postCartoon Brew has a post linking to a Russian site, where they do side by side comparisons of frames, to show you how often Disney animators reused animation sequences. The site is in Russian, but the photos are readily understandable, so I encourage you to visit it. This is pretty interesting. I hadn’t known about [...]
