Awhile back I posted about the Lumix GF2 and promised I’d write a post about some hacks I was hoping to find. Well, short of the little popup-flash bounce trick, those hacks never really materialized for me. The GF2 served me well. It’s a great little travel camera, but the lack of dedicated hardware controls [...]
This week I experienced what might be considered a “catastrophic failure” of the CF card release switch on my Nikon D300. It broke right off! I’d had the card out to offload some photos, went back to my camera, put the card in, closed the hatch and noticed a little black bit of plastic hit [...]
I’ve wanted a capable, smaller camera for a long time. I’ve been consistently disappointed with point-and-shoot class cameras. I’ve used a Nikon CoolPix P5000 that I was never very happy with. Good people have extolled the virtues of the Canon S90, but it never really appealed to me despite having pretty decent performance. None of [...]

On January 6th, I started phoning. I was bounced around through no fewer than 7 different customer service groups trying to [...]
Now that I’ve got hibernation working again on my machine, I’ve turned my thoughts to making it more comfortable. I’ve longed for a decent small keyboard for many spins round the sun now. It seems like a simple thing. Make a keyboard with no number pad with a bunch of keys on it suitable for [...]
I got an iPad. Shocking! I’d like to say that deb (who has some good app recommendations here) made me get an iPad, or that it was forced on me but that’s not really the case. I wanted one despite my efforts to not want one. The iPad represents a shift towards a kind of [...]
Unless you’re one of those people who doesn’t really pay attention to technology, and if you are, you probably aren’t going to be reading this, you’re aware that Amazon has an electronic book reading device called the Kindle. If you happen to be living north of the 49th parallel (give-or-take) and within a particular band [...]
