Photo madness
April 24th, 2006

I finally got around to having the photos developed from my recent trip. Turned out the damage was 287 pictures. I didn’t realize how many photos that actually is until you get doubles of them all. I haven’t sorted them or even looked through them all yet, but so far I’m pleased.
The ability to delete pictures and retake them has changed photography forever. Costs can be saved by deleting those that are poor in quality, or just plain goofy. I’d love to try and explain that concept to someone way back in the early days of photography. The look on their face would be just priceless or maybe a kodak moment.
It speaks volumes to technology and we’ll be in another ten years with photography. Maybe someone will capture pictures along the way.
More Wireless, Less Cables
April 23rd, 2006

I can’t help but notice that each and every week, my machine picks up a new network in my neighborhood. With names from Hulk, Lexus, Linksys, and default, seems more and more people are moving to wireless for home networking. Quick word of advice: secure your network from the bandwidth thieves and snoopers.
I’ve been wireless for a few years now and it’s hard to go back. Having the freedom to move about anywhere in my house, both inside and out, is a benefit that’s hard to beat. It’s hard to believe, until recently, if you wanted Internet access, you were tied to a desk. I love technology.
News apps

Sometimes you come across little applications that you just can’t live without. For me, one of those apps is NetNewsWire. It’s a brillant little application for RSS and Atom feeds. With it’s easy to use interface and loads of functionality, this little guy has made a home on my dock.
There are so many features available, you need to see the list to believe it. But don’t stop there. If you’re on a mac and you need a feed reader, download this guy, available in the lite version or the full helping. Just like your mailman, it’ll deliver your news every day!
