Welcome! It looks like this is the first time you’re visiting my site. You may want to follow my posts by adding my RSS feed to your reader. Or, if you’re not sure about RSS, you can subscribe via email. While I’m on the subject of radio, I’d like to say goodbye to a station [...]
» Go to this postI suppose this won’t come as a surprise to the more serious photographers out there, but I thought I’d let you know anyway. You can order prints via Flickr, that’s common knowledge. And when you do that, you can choose to pick them up at your local Target store instead of waiting to get them [...]
» Go to this postUpdated 3/18/08: I was contacted by Parallels and put in touch with one of their support technicians. They’ve advised me to do two things: re-install Parallels, and re-create the VM from its HDD file. They said this should resolve any instability issues. I’m going to give it a try as soon as my [...]
» Go to this postAs you read this, Ligia and I are supposed to be in Florida. Instead, I’m back at work. We were supposed to fly out yesterday. Everything was set. We were really looking forward to it.
We got to the airport, checked in, went to the gate, and noticed that our flight was listed as leaving at [...]
It looks like the Montgomery Mall Apple Store did not fix our iMac properly the last time we took it in. That’s on top of the 10-day wait it took them to order parts, replace them, and run “extensive” tests…
It’s been working fine for the last month and a half since I got it back. [...]
Many of us have heard this before, but it bears repeating. Customer or user satisfaction depends, in large part, upon the expectations you set, as a service or product provider. Promise something you can’t or don’t deliver, and satisfaction goes right down the drain, no matter what you did right.
A great friend of mine put [...]
For the last month or so, I’ve stayed away from uploading to my Zooomr stream. Now, I’ve decided to stop uploading altogether, at least for the present time. Why? Because I’m disappointed with the way things are going.
You may know me as a staunch supporter of Zooomr. I’ve blogged about it endlessly, and I’ve supported [...]
» Go to this postA while back, I purchased the Ultra All-in-One USB card reader from TigerDirect. Although they advertise heavily, and that’s really annoying to me, I like them and order from them every few months. After using the Ultra card reader, it was obvious to me that its build quality was horrible. I had trouble inserting all [...]
» Go to this postFor the moment, this is a rhetorical question. I’ve been re-thinking the way I publish my photos online in view of the recent and very prominent theft of Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir’s photos from Flickr. Call me naive, but I really believed, and still would like to believe, that people will wish to stay legal and pay [...]
» Go to this postUpdated 10/29/2007: I’ve revised my opinion of Zooomr since I wrote this. See “Taking a break from Zooomr” for the details.
I’m sure we’re all waiting for Zooomr’s Mark III and wondering what’s going on with Kris. There have been a lot of questions floating in the air since Zooomr missed its scheduled launch date for [...]
Bottom line: love the camera body and the user interface, good lens, good grip, but the CCD sensor is not as good as it should be. Read on for the details.

I won’t bore you with the specs, which you can check out for yourselves. I’m going 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 [...]
