  • Organizing Text Messages

    One thing that bothers me about text messaging is how it ends up being a system more like instant messaging rather than short e-mails. I can label an e-mail, mark it as important, or otherwise make it distinct. I can search through e-mails, find previous messages, and easily manage the content. With text messaging, there Read more

  • My Next Camera: Canon 70D

    June 28th, 2013 Update – Please Read Canon 70D Specifications Leaked for more up to date information on the Canon 70D. The other night when Annie and I went to the theatre, there was a commercial for Canon cameras which featured the Canon T5i and the Canon 60D. Annie asked me if I was interested Read more

  • The Great Gatsby

    So last night, Annie and I went to see The Great Gatsby. I have to admit, I wasn’t too excited about the prospect of seeing this movie, and the last one I wasn’t excited about, Les Miserables, turned out to be worse than I thought it to be. The good news is that this wasn’t Read more

  • Game of Thrones: The Board Game

    Recently, I got to try my hand at the Game of Thrones Board Game, and I must say, that it was quite the experience. There were five players, and we played two full games, and it took from one in the afternoon until eleven in the evening to get through the two games, so this Read more

  • Differences Between T2i and T3i

    So I’ve had my new camera, the Canon T3i that has yet to be named, for a few weeks now, and I’m loving having it. I’ve been bringing it on some short photo walks, and to family events, and continue to learn new things about what my fiancee has purchased for me. One of the Read more

  • Flickr Changes for the Better and Worse

    So Flickr has rolled out some changes, and there have been some good and some bad things that have happened, and these changes will affect you more or less depending on what kind of member you are. Free Accounts The first thing you need to know is that they are offering one terabyte of image Read more

  • Micro-Four Thirds

    I really thought I would use my Panasonic GF-2 a great deal when I purchased it (New Camera: Panasonic DMC-GF2). The idea of a small camera with interchangeable lenses appealed to me greatly, but the reality is very different for me. I bought the camera with a 20mm prime lens. This means it can’t zoom Read more

  • Moving People to WordPress.com

    One of my goals for 2013 was to help three people with their websites or blogs. Since then, I’ve helped my future wife set-up her own blog where she’s publishing more posts per month than my cousin, best friend, and mother combined. (Just have to rub that in a bit all, sorry…) She is getting Read more

  • Star Trek: Into Darkness Review

    I can’t say too much about the movie without spoilers, but I can say that while I didn’t feel like it was a Star Trek movie, I really enjoyed myself. I found the actors portrayals of the characters to be top notch. I’ve never been a fan of the Original Series, but I do remember Read more

  • WordPress 10th Anniversary Blogging Project

    May 27th, 2013 marks the 10 year anniversary of the release of WordPress. When WordPress came out it wasn’t long until I heard about it. By the time that 0.72 came out, I was already installing the software on my personal blog. I had heard about WordPress from Binary Bonsai, better known as Michael Heilemann Read more

  • Camera Gear Wishlist

    I know it is a bit early to be thinking about a new wish list of camera gear but I can’t help it. I’ve been super excited about getting back into photography. I had a few things still from when I sold my body that helped me out. Here’s my current equipment list: Canon T3i Thanks hun! Read more
