Some interesting stats about how iPad owners use their device for travel purposes. One of the more interesting stats here is that 91% of iPad users have used the device for travel-related activity.

I really enjoyed Halloween in Mihama last year. Definitely looking forward to it this year. Hopefully my son will enjoy it a little more...he did not like the scarier costumes at all!

If you're interested in science and how science progresses, both in general and in the case of the recent announcement about neutrinos, take the time to read through. It is a nice mix of context and commentary.

Sooner or Later You Are Going to Lose Your Photographs


Well, maybe. If you are taking a lot of photographs, and you don't have a logical way to store them and back them up--if your desktop is a mess of folders and documents, you are heading for disaster. If you are a photographer, and you have been having trouble coming up with a well-thought-out way to organize your photo library, this document will help you. If you already use Lightroom and have been losing images and have numerous catalogs scattered around your computer, Mastering Image Organization with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom will help you overcome these problems.

This is a short document that you can download from my blog for free. Check it out:

I love having an organized photo library, and you will too.

Alone on the Ancient Great Wall (posting first to Google+ before FB!)

Wow I am alone here. As I walk along this ancient, original stretch of the Great Wall, I feel ghosts haunting the old towers and little enclaves.

I finally found an extremely remote part that is far enough away from civilization to stay pure. The ruins of the wall in this area has been overgrown with vegetation. When you walk along the top, you have to snake your way between huge bushes and all sorts of trees. Stairs and parts of the walkways have crumbled away in the past thousand years. The old towers are slopingly fragmenting as lichens and moss cover parts of the stone that are decaying away.

This has only reminded me that the main tourist part of the Great Wall is a very tiny stretch that has been re-built in recent years… so it is all fake and kind of Disney-wall. I don't think I liket... more »

I have so many sessions to get caught up on but with moving and getting settled I am falling further and further behind...Photog friends: How do you find the motivation to sit down and edit your pics when you're itching to be outside taking more?

The new Netflix/DreamWorks deal is just the precursors of what's going to happen

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/26/business/media/netflix-secures-streaming-deal-with-dreamworks.html

I predict the whole TV world will flip upside down in the next 18 months.

I say this as I watch Metallica streaming live over YouTube.

This is BIG and it's just starting.

Chocolate Covered Deep Fried Triple Double Oreos
Can you feel your arteries hardening? It maybe because Nabisco launched a new Oreo called the triple Double Oreo featuring layered vanilla and chocolate creme in the same cookie. How would one improve on such a breakthrough in cookie technology? Why, you dip it in semisweet chocolate and deep fry the whole thing. The awesome train continues... #yeswecan

Wow. Apparently, those annoying little "Captcha" words that some websites make you fill out in order to perform certain tasks are actually useful.

Each of the words in a captcha is actually text from a scanned document that OCR software could't translate. Every time you complete a captcha, you are helping to translate a document into digital form...
