I know monitor’s change, after all, if you are using them for color sensitive things like design or photography, you’re expected to calibrate them regularly. And over my years of doing photography, I’ve been able to tell when my monitor needs it even without handy reminders that the new software provides. Still, I’m convinced over…
I need to do a separate post on Doctor Who thus far this series, but I will go ahead and say my favorite episode so far is without question The Doctor’s Wife – the episode written by Neil Gaiman. I think I watched it four times, the only episode this series I’ve watched twice already. I…
A few weeks ago, I got a macbook pro, as previously mentioned, and partially left the world of windows (my media center PC is still a PC). I found out (before I made the switch) that Adobe will allow you to swamp from windows or mac when you chance PCs if you already own their…
After the post about considering a mac, I feel like I’m confessing to a religious conversion here! Yes, I was one of the sheep who stood in line on the day the new iPhone 3G came out. In my (admittedly slim) defense here, I have had the same old motorola V400 for 4 years. I…
That’s something I never thought I’d say. I’m actually considering a mac. I don’t mean that in a negative way, just that sometimes I’m a creature of habit, and I’ve spent over a decade using Windows based PCs and most recently laptops. I’ve had a fujitsu for nearly three years now. I still love the…
I’ve documented elsewhere that I recently went all digital. All my music is now in the form of ephemeral bits and bytes on my hard drive (and backed up elsewhere). And my three shelves of CDs have been compressed down to a couple of binders. Although a freeing experience, I’m still dealing with the effects…
The last few days in Egypt, I had a cough, which was particularly rough when we got back to the smog of Cairo. I thought the smog was what started things, but as I looked back, it started before we returned to Cairo. Still, when I got back, it did improve (so was likely worsened…
I guess I started down this path in the last year. As part of my continual paring down of the material things in my life, I sat down with a box of old cassette tapes (oh horrors) and copied them to MP3. Most of them, some had degraded too much to save. I didn’t have…
I had planned to go down and see some art at the Dogwood Festival this weekend as I have the past couple of years. However, the weather was just plain unappealing and I had no real desire to get out. Last week I started putting together a new website. I’ve only ever had a free…
Now I think I’m officially back. My laptop was in for service for TWO weeks. Why does warranty work suck so bad? Surely it could be done faster? When I took it in, I was told a week to ten days. It had been nearly two full weeks before I even bothered them. Wednesday I…
It was pointed out recently that it’s been awhile since I’ve posted much outside of my photos. There’s a plethora of reasons for that, but by and large boring. When I’ve had spare time lately, my life has been either taking pictures or editing them. I don’t know that I’ve ever had a hobby suck…
