The film camera bug has hit me pretty hard. I’ve been using one of my Olympus Trip 35 cameras (see above taken last weekend) and have purchased an Olympus Stylus Epic DLX from someone on eBay. The new one is it’s way and should be here next week. You can read up on the Olympus [...]
Cool
Nikon GP-1
Sometimes you just like to know where you were when you took the photo. Luckily there are many options available for a DSLR and I went with the default Nikon solution. Last week on a whim I ordered a Nikon GP-1 for my camera. This GPS receiver plugs into my D300s and when it has [...]
No Batteries Required
This started with my looking for a good compact digital camera with a viewfinder. As a result I bought a film compact camera that was manufactured in 1972. I prefer cameras with a viewfinder because I take better photos when I hold the camera close to my face (my arms shake). There are several good [...]
Upcoming 2011 video games
I’ve been waiting for the next installment of Crysis to come out but have recently gone back to playing some F.E.A.R. via Steam. Looks like F.E.A.R. 3 will be a worthwhile game. When the first game came out, the horror factor was so well done that some scenes scared the jeebies out of me. Even [...]
Really good Road Runner
And not the Time Warner Cable kind either. I can’t tell if this is legit, but I can tell that it’s very good. Update: It’s not legit.
And now for something positive
Who says Gizmodo is good for nothing? In my RSS reader I was shown this video. This is not an official NASA ad, but it should be. It was inspired by this video which is also great viewing. Reading and thinking of all the great discoveries that NASA has contributed to us makes me believe [...]
Roger Ebert still knows best
I saw this great video on Photography Bay. I’m constantly reminded that my negative opinion on filming with DSLRs is almost always demonstrated to be wrong. Here is another fine example. The editing, the soundtrack, and the shots are amazing. This video was captured with a Canon 7D. It’s not the technology that makes a [...]
End of year Firefox goodness
With the end of year upon us, it is good to see Lifehacker doing a review of good things for Firefox in 2010. Head over and give it a read. I use Adblocker mainly as an additional security measure (yes, I have Google Ads on this blog) and this list escaped my notice. Right now [...]
First snow of the season
It’s not exactly a white Christmas, but snow fall on the 26th is close enough. Looks like we’re going to have a lot of snow for Monday morning. It’s still coming down but I’ve already done a test run on the snow thrower. The kids are off next week so if not today, they’ll get [...]
And while on the topic of Valve
I really can’t wait for the 2011 Portal 2 comes out. I’m holding off on getting new games for now.
