Seriously trivial thoughts
Took two weeks off for Christmas and New Years. My gf was only able to take one week, but we made the most of it. We had the entire family gathered for Christmas: Mom and Dad, all five kids with significant others, and amazingly all 11 grandkids! It was a special evening for sure. I …
Been dying to take my 70-200 f/2.8 out for a spin and decided to just take the dogs out in the backyard. Was hoping to get some panned shots of one of them in full stride, but sadly neither the sun nor the dogs were very cooperative. In any event, the lens is spectacular albeit a …
I am totally on board with this concept! I’m sure I’ll find other uses, but I can see this being incredibly useful with fine-tuning Adobe Lightroom parameter adjustments which is problematic using a mouse.

Ya gotta respect people that continue to push the copyright envelope. We can thank them for so many things that we take for granted today (e.g., MP3s, DVRs, Slingbox, etc.). OnRad.io is another one of those technologies. Michael Robertson of MP3.com fame is behind this venture. They are basically indexing online music streams and allowing visitors to play …
This touch input device looks very interesting. It will be interesting to see how well it works in the real world after it ships. Personally, I’ll be very interested in its use with graphics and music-creation applications. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm2aWmA_2jw]
How come I never heard of these? Kinda looks like a cross between an armadillo and an ant eater, almost dinosaur-like. Weird how it kinda walks on two legs most of the time. The name reminds me of an old Bugs Bunny cartoon about a Hoboken-born penguin. The bum that wants to eat him says, …
