Hey all,
Sexy new computers out from Apple today. Looks like they’ve cut the 17inch models and have a 20 inch and some new 24 inch iMacs for those looking for a decent home computer set up.
I’m a little bummed that the entry level 24inch has an integrated video card. For most people this won’t be a deal breaker, and Apple’s internal testing shows the new setup to be faster, but a lot of people are predicting that software will begin more and more to leverage the power of video cards and the processor together for the processing of complex tasks. If that’s the case, I’d rather have a real video card. Plus, if I do get back into video I’ll need a faster video card for Motion and other programs.
If all you do is surf, Word, and a bit of photo work have no fear about the entry level 24 inch… it looks like a decent setup. For me it means I have to pay a bit more to get the computer I want…. or wait till the mid-level 24inch shows up refurbished. Then I can pair it with the oh so cheap Dell 24 inch monitor for a dual monitor editing dream station Well maybe not the top dream, but at least a not so expensive, obtainable one.
As with all Apple computers, don’t pay for memory from them though. Upgrade that on your own and save lots of money. Also skip the “mighty mouse” and it’s horrible nub. The Bluetooth Keyboard is great, but the mouse is 30 kinds of annoying.

I know, I know. Another iPhone application. But this one is seriously worthy of any photographer/designer’s attention - if they spend any amount of time in Photoshop.
I’m normally a big fan of Firefox and only use Safari on rare occasions where I need to trash my cache to view a change in a webpage I’m working on.
The new Safari 4 looks like a nice update though. I like the coverflow previews of bookmark pages and the “top site” previews of top internet sites or top visited pages from your history. Don’t know if it’s enough to convert me from Firefox just yet, but I will be giving it a try over the next couple of weeks.
It’s not just a mac download so head over to Apple to check it out for your Mac or PC.

Hey all,
No, I haven’t turned this thing into a foodie blog… but in an effort to increase posts and let you in on more of my daily life I’m going to give you a sneak peak of what I’m doing personally in life and with a not-so-secretive new project under development.

Hey all,
I get this question a lot… or worse I get a smug look from some one’s uncle during the course of a wedding. I’m always asked about my gear and inevitably someone wants to know how many megapixels my camera is. I’d like to say, “it really doesn’t matter, it’s what’s between my ears that makes the pictures best…or at the very least the lenses on front” but I can’t… so I’m usually left to say 12 or 15 (for now 
). At this point someone has a cell phone with similar specs and they look at me as if I have inferior gear.
I’ve said this before on the blog. I’d rather have a 4 MP Nikon D2h over a 10 megapixel point and shoot. But these guys explain it better: Gizmodo Explains Megapixels.

Hey all,
I know I must seem like an Apple shill here lately, but I’ve added yet another Apple product to my line up. › Continue reading
Hey all,
In my effort to streamline and increase my personal organization skills I underwent a search for a new todo/prodoctivity appliation for my iPhone and computer. After much searching I decided on Remember the Milk.
The reasons why after the jump
Hey all,
Here’s the real reason I went back to Bangkok this weekend - Hemisphere Home Furnishings.
I first met owner Jay through my friend Fasai (whose wedding I photographed last January) when they hired me to photograph the grand opening press launch of what was then a new Casa Pagoda Location. I liked the location and thought it’d be nice to shoot there someday.

Hey all,
I’ve recently setup a Gravatar account and installed some plug ins for the blog.
For those who don’t know a Gravatar is a “globally recognized avatar”. These avatars show up wherever you’re visiting online and posting. So when you go to a favorite blog (mine?) and post a comment you’ll have a nice graphical representation of you, next to your name, that identifies you in the crowd. This can be particularly nice if you visit larger blogs with 100’s of comments after each post - like Gizmodo.
You register an email account and every time you sign in with that particular email your Gravatar travels with you, wherever they’re supported. A nice little feature that adds a bit of personality to things you’re doing online. Since it’s free why not?
