I was at Costco today to pick up some extra FoodSaver bags. After that I wandered around a little bit and I couldn’t avoid the temptation to pick up a copy of The Gourmet Cookbook ($22.49 at Costco). This book consists of over 1000 recipes culled from the over 50,000 ones that appeared in the […]
Another thing I missed from the photography world is the release of the Canon G7. The spec sheet is very impressive for a compact camera: 10 megapixel 1/2″ sensor 6x zoom (though a slow f/4.8 at max zoom) Image stabilization ISO 1600 with a super-high ISO 3200 scene mode hot shoe for external flash $550 […]
I’m a little out of touch with my photography recently o I missed that Nikon released the D200 Firmware version 2.0.0. It’s really nothing to write home about. All It does is add support for Image Authentication and the WT-3 Wireless transmitter. But for other people with a D200, you can download the Mac version […]
Replied to a MacRumors discussion: I have no idea where you got that one from. The original Xbox never made a profit. Microsoft is deliberately selling the Xbox 360 at a loss to capture marketshare. However, the PS3 and Ninetindo Wii are selling like hotcakes, are latest big things, and have the buzz. The best […]
Three new holiday Get A Mac Ads. C++ GUI Programming = classic. And to think, until this, I didn’t know what Emo was. Not having cable does that to you. I guess not much has changed since my D&D days. I’m still as out of touch as ever. 🙂
I was at Target the other day, and though I didn’t get anything, I noticed two interesting things. The first was the new Dirt Devil Kone Cordless Hand Vac (which comes in other colors, by the way). Very stylish, but I have no use or space for it. Also, how good is it? Handvacs always […]
Dave Pogue of the New York Times talks about some fun he had having people on the street compare a 5, 8, and 13 megapixel version of the same photograph. As he predicted, this post gets a lot of people “riled up.” [Some commentary after the jump]
Thanks to Gizmodo, I just wasted 10 minutes. It’s a lot of fun.
When I migrated from my Powerbook to a Core 2 Duo Mac Book Pro and Firefox to Firefox 2, flash stopped working for me in Firefox 2. The solution is rather simple: Quit Firefox and delete ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/pluginsreg.dat and then restart.
When I get tired of taking the same photos over and over, I put a Lensbaby on the front of my camera. It’s the ultimate “fun” lens: The Baby has arrived! Mountain View, California Nikon D70, Lensbaby 2.0, Tokina .45x macro 1/50 sec @ f/2.0, iso 800, 50mm (75mm) A lot of people stop and […]
