At long last, I have ditched my trusty Palm 755p in favor of an Android phone. I got the HTC Evo and it thoroughly rocks. I suppose I could draw the inevitable conclusions to the iPhone, but I’ll refrain. I’m a big fan of the “the right tool for the right job” and “stick with [...] http://gizmodo.com/5476617/apidis-automated-film-crew-could-produce-the-perfect-sports-coverage Bookmark It I recently had the pleasure of doing projection design for Gustav Holst’s The Planets. The Butler Symphony Orchestra had it scheduled for a while and the conductor, Richard Auldon Clark, and I sort of joked about doing “some projection”. One thing led to another and whadda ya know- we did it. I thought that projecting [...] Well Apple announced the much-anticipated iPad yesterday. There has been a flurry of hands-on and other reviews, but at the outset I would have to say I’m underwhelmed. The folks at OWC have been offering a tablet mod for the Macbook for a couple of years now and I’d be more inclined to go that [...] We have entered the 21st century and bought a video camera. It is actually our Christmas present to each other, but the reason is simplicity. We had a camcorder that we bought before Olivia was born, so it’s a bit outdated. Plus- digitizing all the tapes is a pain. It’s a surprisingly common problem. The [...] Ever since I made the switch to Mac, I’ve been using Safari as my primary web browser and I’ve gotten really used to it so I was excited when I saw there was a new release coming out. I downloaded the most recent version of Safari (public beta 4) and it is completely cool. Except [...] While this weekend’s gig was fairly painful, there was one bright spot. To make a long story short, I am required to roll a couple of DVD clips for an awards program. The problem is that there are very few pro-level DVD players that allow the type of cueing that I need- and they are [...] I can’t rave enough about Gmail from Google. I started to experiment with the “multiple inbox” feature and man is it going to be a time-saver. I have Gmail set to retrieve my mail from all my Goochzone accounts and they are set to be automatically tagged with a “label” (Gmail’s answer to [...] One good thing about the Opera being in the Hall is that we get a fair amount of extra staff here and that invariably leads to “hey, I’ve got this problem with my computer- any idea what it is?”. Today’s was an old iBook G4. It turns out it is a problem with the logic [...] Well it had to happen at some point. I’m experimenting with Twitter on the right-hand sidebar. A microblog on a blog site, you say? What’s the point? Well I’m not sure just yet. I do use Facebook a lot, and it’s a fairly good way of keeping in touch….but Twitter can open up some possibilities [...] |
