Making the web better, one tiny pixel at a time.

Choosing a good camera

Yesterday I checked out some good photography (hand)books from the libary and also decided to buy one from a bookstore. Since I have a larger aptitude for consuming knowledge via written word, I plowed through a single book in essentially one day. After consuming a ton of knowledge about exposure control, depth of field, lighting, [...]

Realities of Professional Photography

As I am still consuming lots of information about professional photography one thing rings true; you’re not a pro just because you say you are. Good photography shows in the quality of your shooting and not in post-production or your chemistry with clients. Those things matter, but none of them are important if you’re shots [...]

Top Blackberry Twitter App Roundup

It was only a few months ago that twitter apps for the blackberry platform seemed almost nonexistent. TwitterBerry was accessible and the only app that was both active and somewhat feature rich (but not quite the full package most are looking for). Fast forward and now there is a sort of blackberry twitter client war [...]

Photography and A Tiny Pixel

Transitioning to a small town one has to think about career changes. While technology is ever growing in ubiquity for all locations, some are slower than others.

Because of my location I’m within the full scope of their policy and terms to terminate my account without fees. But this is only possible with the introduction of paperwork [...]

RSS: Great Design Taken for Granted

Today I took a good look at my feed reader (currently Google Reader) and realized I hate reading content from RSS feeds. It showed me that design is a very important aspect of reading and consuming content on the web. If that were not the case, we would never see multiple design revisions from such [...]

Don’t Be Evil: A Lesson in Social Media

For the past few weeks I’ve been working at a gas station, part time. Not the best job I’ve ever had, but it works and gets me out of the house.

Like most gas stations we advertise our gas prices upon large signage that most if not all drivers see and recognize. But unlike other gas [...]

Wordpress for Blackberry

This morning I saw a status update come across my twitter stream stating that there is a Wordpress for Blackberry app rolling around in beta. Its not just any BB app, its by the guys who built wordpress itself. So you know its quality.

Needless to say, I am posting this from my Blackberry 8300 and [...]
