ProClip = iPod + phone

In General, Photography, Technology on 24 May 2006 tagged Automotive, Handhelds, Photos with no comments

Two weeks ago I finally got an iPod connection installed. Dension’s ice>Link Plus. I’ve been really impressed with the connection to the factory Bose head-unit in my car and I daresay it works much better than the Alpine iPod interface I had in the Subaru. It replaces the CD Changer, but that’s not really a [...]

Pictures of Paradise

We got to take a drive out to Scott’s Bay and the Lookout outside of Wolfville, NS today. It was a fun drive. Like, really fun. Dria got a little bit edgy towards the end of it, but I had a difficult time controlling my Fast on the twisty, windy, hilly roads. I probably could’ve [...]

Shoebox I saw this mentioned this afternoon on MacNN and based on their website alone, it looks like a solid replacement for iPhoto. They have a Try It Now demo which I’ll download later… Technorati Tags: Apple, Photos, Software

It is Friday and it’s raining outside. I vaguely remember waking up to the sound of thunder this morning and some bright flashes. I stayed in bed about an hour and a half longer than I should have though. The rain means it is looking unlikely that there will be a barbeque today or tomorrow. [...]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

In Entertainment, Photography on 4 September 2005 tagged Entertainment, Music, Photos with 2 comments

Just a late note about this show: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah put on a great set at Zaphod’s on September 4th. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, they have a sound something like a cross between the Talking Heads and the Ramones. A rock band with a hint of experimentation. If you’re lucky enough to have [...]

Arctic Cool

In Computing, Photography on 20 July 2005 tagged Computing, Hardware, Microsoft, Photos with no comments

Yesterday was fun. I’ve wanted an Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 for some time now. They’re supposedly very quiet and keep the video card cool. I think on Sunday I finally decided I was going to get one, after messing around with my PC and finding the noise on the stock card was bothering me. [...]

WordPress Photo Plugins

In Computing, Photography, Web on 13 June 2005 tagged blogging, Computing, Meta, Photos, Software, Web with 6 comments

WordPress is great software. I have yet to see a decent photo plugin for it though. Also, I find flickr somewhat objectionable. If I wanted my pictures to swim in the ocean, I’d flush them down the toilet. I admit, that’s dumb, but it’s the closest I can really come to explaining my disdain for [...]
