For quite a while I’ve been interested in personal time management. I’m always keeping an eye on new ideas and concepts in this area. Of course I’ve watched the whole GTD ( Getting Things Done ) scene without dipping more than a toe or two into the water. It seems like there are many good […]

Linux Goodness 1


Moving to Linux as my OS at home has brought with it many challenges and discoveries. Every once in a while I think I’ll try to share interesting things I’ve found on my journey for anybody going down a similar road:
google.com/linux - Simply a Google search page aimed at Linux. It does a decent […]

The only thing easier than not linking to opposing opinion or thought is not posting about it at all - so Dave Winer has not taken the absolute easiest route, just the second easiest.

It’s been over a month since I last posted a Photography Concept. My apologies. Simply taking on too many things once again I guess. Hopefully, some will find this one useful. In previous installments we’ve discussed exposure, focal length and lenses, depth of field, and metering).
This time we’re going to take a quick gander at […]

A new podcast network has been created which focuses (parden the pun) on photography related podcasts. You can find it at PhotocastNetwork.com. There are currently 8 shows on board. I’m only a regular subscriber to one of them at the moment (TipsFromTheTopFloor) but I’ve listened to (and watched) some of the other ones from time […]
