How to spend quality time on the web?
Posted at 1:47 pm | Filed Under uncategorized
Here’s an interesting post from Merlin Mann, one of my favorite productivity gurus on how he’s going to improve his approach to the web: …To be honest, I don’t have a specific agenda for what I want to do all that differently, apart from what I’m already trying to do every day: identify and destroy […]

Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home
Posted at 5:56 pm | Filed Under uncategorized
I’ve never been a fan of camera bags that looked too much like a “CAMERA BAG!!!“. Much of my photography is done at dusk, early mornings, and urban street street photography in dodgy neighborhoods. I need to be able to pull my camera out, take a shot quickly and stuff it back quickly, all the […]

“American Photobooth”, a book review
Posted at 4:33 pm | Filed Under uncategorized
American Photobooth is a new illustrated history of photobooths, which first made their splash in the 1920s. Photographer Nakki Goranin became obsessed with the technology after creating a series of her own photobooth self-portraits now in the collection of the International Center for Photography in New York. She then spent nearly a decade tracing the […]

BBF, a TLR 35mm camera?
Posted at 6:32 pm | Filed Under lomo
(updated, more picture-y goodness at the bottom!) A little birdie told me about the BBF (Blackbird, Fly), a camera that the LOMO Society was planning to sell. I hadn’t heard of it before and decided to do a little research. A little googling uncovered this post with some information. It sounds fun – a 35mm […]

Mimicking film with digital tricks
Posted at 12:34 am | Filed Under uncategorized
Pssst! I’ve got a secret! Most decent imaging programs have the capability of automating actions. With the right actions applied to a photo, you can easily mimic some of the quirky qualities of your favorite film camera on multiple photos and bundle the actions to share with others. To Wit, the Holganizer. With it, you […]

“Night Vision: The Art of Urban Exploration”, a book review
Posted at 12:17 pm | Filed Under journal
Troy Paiva is one of my favorite photographers of late. I love his choice of subjects – googie architecture, abandoned buildings, junk yards and the southwest desert. He shoots almost exclusively at night and uses a combination of colored flashes and LED lights to “paint” his subjects.

Miroslav Tichy
Posted at 12:02 am | Filed Under art, film
Am so enthralled with the photographic work of Czech artist Miroslav Tichy, who made cameras out of cardboard tubes, thread spools, rubber bands, and other similar things, and then photographed public scenes in his small hometown. He developed the negatives in a bucket at night, because he didn’t have a darkroom. Later, he said that […]

Google Posterity Post — flashing DD-WRT onto a Belkin FD4230-4 router
Posted at 10:32 am | Filed Under blog
I’ve had this little router for years, bought it for $20 with a $20 rebate, and since upgrading the OS to DD-WRT it’s performed flawlessly. I have a Belkin wireless router (model number: F5D7230-4 v1444). For some reason, the Virtual Server (or Port Forwarding) did not work correctly. It’s obviously a firmware problem. I checked […]

Want to configure your Smart Phone, tablet or telephone to use the T-Mobile data network? This is a simple collection of settings for use with the T-Mobile (formerly VoiceStream) U.S.A. network I’ve collected over the years. I have used these settings to configure my own GSM mobile phones, PDAs and laptops. They may or may […]

The Art of No
Posted at 5:57 pm | Filed Under blog
The Art of No …what nobody ever teaches us is perhaps the most important thing you can learn to be a successful working designer: How to not say “no”. If I could give one piece of advice to the designer just getting into client work, or even some who’s been doing this for a while, […]

Using a Blackberry handheld as a dialup modem
Posted at 1:32 pm | Filed Under blog
Introduction Did you know that BlackBerry can now be used just like an external modem for a laptop computer, so that a laptop can have full Internet access? This is useful when you need to do certain things that a BlackBerry cannot yet do. Increasing numbers of success reports have caused me to post this […]

Spamassassin settings for bayesian filtering

SPAM fighting (A talking to myself, want to get this in google post…) I’ve been getting a HUGE number of SPAMs slipping through my SPAMASSASSIN filter, and have been trying to figure out how to combat it. SPAMs are getting flagged as BAYES_00, which gives them a negative score. I was moving them into the […]

Weird networking knockoff
Posted at 7:54 am | Filed Under blog
This is one of the strangest knock-offs I’ve seen; they’ve totally borrowed the Linksys case design, but use a one-antenna board: I’m pretty sure that even the B Linksys routers had two antennae. In another project, I have my FON router operational. It’s in a DMZ and allows access to other FON users for free. Check out […]
