    The proof is in the pudding… The middle image was rendered by Firefox 3 on Windows XP and it looks all washed out. To the left is the original RAW processed to JPG in CS3 Bridge and the right most picture is in Safari for Windows. Which actually looks the most like the original… The…

    Photo taken by the Burg and permission has been granted to use this shot under Creative Commons. It’s funny but I tend to disagree. As a kid I used to walk around using my hands to frame a rectangle that way I would know what to take a picture of once I got my hands…

    As many of you surely know, I’m a big fan of David Allen’s time/task management principles known as Getting Things Done. Well, I’ve fallen of the wagon somewhat a while back and, being a geek, I’ve been looking for something new and shiny to motivate me to get back on the horse. Well, a post…

    My Gary Fong Puffer is BrokeH! (All puns intended)I bought this flash Puffer last week after receiving many recommendations from friends on Flickr and as well as help from the Staff of my local photo store. However as I removed the puffer from the hot shoe of my K200d after taking some nice pictures of…

    Hydro Quebec have asked us all not to use our Christmas lights in order to make sure we have enough electricity to keep everyone in Quebec warm in this cold weather. [ad name=”2fatdads_post”]

  • Should his Steveness Run the Big 3?

    There is growing talk on the interwebs and amongst certain circles that Steve Job, Apple CEO, should be running one of , if not all of, the Big 3 American automobile makers.  At first thought, this could make a lot of sense: take the America’s hottest CEO with an impeccable track record would make a…

    If you are a pro photographer, you should probably stop reading now, unless you really need a good laugh. I finally plonked down the required fundage to buy myself some street cred in the camera department. Of course this means that all my photography skills are yet to come.  For a bit of back ground,…

    Amazon.ca has finally opened its electronics store and just in time for Christmas. The products selections seems like a good start, however they went ahead and featured the M$ Zune as it’s big homepage seller. I just hope this is not a forecast of a crappy electronics offering to come for Canadians. So far the…

    It’s officially time to say: “The HELL with BELL!” And the CRTC can now become just one more corrupt government agency that is completely out of touch with the industry it is set to oversee and protect. Bell Canada Inc. is not breaking any laws by slowing Internet speeds and will be allowed to continue…

    Tomorrow, the CTRC will be ruling on whether or not Bell’s contronversial and a little bit e immoral practice of throttling it’s core customer and resellers, a group of more than 50 small companies represented by the Canadian Association of Internet Providers. I blogged about this a few months back, the CRTC rejected a call…
