My work requires that I travel quite often and with lots of electronics, no I am not a professional photographer I just play one on the Internet. Just for reference my airport security checkpoint process typically takes four bins to get everything separated as needed. I have found that it is possible to travel with [more]
My faithful reader knows how I feel about Facebook, it is Evil. Yes, Evil with a capital E. What surprises me is how many companies are using Evil Facebook as their business presence. As I have said before I understand how Evil Facebook has become the new destination on the Interwebs. However the fact that they add advertisements sometimes means that there are some interesting juxtapositions.
You might be wondering why my frustration with NHL GameCenter is taking up so much of my blog recently. I have more topics coming, but am still working on the final details, it will be worth the wait. The reason it has been so much at the forefront is that the level of frustration is [more]
My faithful reader will remember when I wrote about the NHL making it difficult to be a fan. Well the trend continues and just keeps going. I ordered the NHL Center Ice package to allow online streaming after receiving an e-mail about it. It seemed like it would be a perfect fit for me. It [more]
I have decided that the Joby Orgi is not the case I am looking for, due to one characteristic that makes it difficult to use. It looked so promising in the Promotional YouTube Video. Go take a look, I will wait here. The majority of features, especially being able to have the case stand up [more]

Previously I wrote about how one can store too much data. I was guilty of that personally. I have way too much data hard to sort through easily. This collection of data was not just images I have taken; it is also documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. What is often overlooked is that there are tools [more]
Often times the controls for a piece of software are not always the friendliest locations for one-handed operation. By one-handed operation I mean one hand on the keyboard, one hand on the mouse. When working in graphic programs I find myself working that way quite often. It could be as basic as a drawing program where I need to use the Z key to initiate the zoom function and then using the mouse to decide where to zoom. Other times it is more complex, such as selecting an image, zooming into a one pixel to one pixel rendering, panning, and then marking the image as a keeper or a chucker. It could just as likely be a drawing program where I am documenting an idea. For my #AVTweeps, just think AutoCAD.
Last week I participated in a Twitter chat, an #AVChat hosted by @AVWriter (Linda Seid Frembes) and I was the guest “talker”. It was an interesting experience. I am by no means a digital media expert, but I think that the idea of a Twitter Chat or Tweet Chat or TwitChat is very interesting. The idea of allowing people to connect and share ideas experience and ideas in the virtual world is a good one. Very similar to guild meetings in previous times, it allowed for people in the same trade to share knowledge.
