Being a playa hatah

The first time I heard of ”player hater” was about four years ago when Sean showed me the Star Wars Gangsta Rap viral video. If you somehow missed that, you need to watch it. If you’ve already seen it 100 times, one more won’t hurt. 🙂 Gizmodo reports the hate for a different sort of […]

n-blades

Gizmodo had a funny article which pointed to something I had missed. That an Onion parody article on a 5-bladed Gillette in response to Schick came true late last year. [razor blade models and college stories after the jump]

A good idea gone wrong

Death of the Bridge?

Mark Goldstein has a nice little article on the death of the bridge camera over at PhotographyBLOG. I talked about the bridge camera in an earlier article. My main contention is that bridge is often better for more people, but they’re going to buy dSLR anyway.

Video RAW

Caitlin sent me an interesting website showing off the Andromeda Video Acquisition System. Basically this system purports to take a 3-CCD DV camera and turn it into a high-definition RAW video stream. Note that this only works with the Panasonic AG-DVX100, which is a DV camera.
