Lightroom 2.0 – it just keeps getting better and better
The more I’ve been learning about Lightroom 2 (technically now at 2.3), the more I’ve been liking it! First of all, I learned that – thanks to new camera profiles (also available in the latest camera raw software) – I can get my photos to start from where Canon’s own RAW software would have started.…

Review: Knoppix 6
I first wrote about Knoppix in my original blog in Oct of 2004. I mentioned how awesome it was to be able to test out a live version of a Linux distro. It’s been a really long time since I last checked out Knoppix. Since it was bloated with KDE 3.x and slow to boot…

The Domo Meme
There’s something about this little, brown, cube monster that people love. I first came across Domo when chatting on AIM with my high school friend, Lawrence Kwan. He had it as his buddy icon. I asked him what the brown square with the mouth was and he directed me to a website with an animation. …

One more look at Adobe Lightroom (this time 2.3)
I just wanted to really elaborate on why I think Adobe Lightroom is a program any enthusiast to pro user should own. Although, as I related here, LR has grown on me, going through the photos I shot at my cousin’s wedding has really cemented my love for Adobe’s product. Here are my two favorite…

Reaping the Rewards of Creative Commons
Once again I’ve had one of my photos published by an outside source. I always had an image used by WNYC, which you may remember. This time it was the above photo in a blog post about Social Enterprenuership in Minnesota. As I said before, if the most important thing to you is getting…

Revisiting the Past
Recently I’ve been going through my old analog photos and scanning them in. This is the oldest picture I have that I took. I took some pictures earlier in our first vacation to the Smokey Mountains. But those prints and negatives were lost by the time I started putting together photo albums. I’ve been remembering…

Most viewed Photos (Prime Numbers)
Instead of the usual Top 20 most viewed photos, I wanted to indulge in my geek side and show only prime numbers from my top 200 most viewed photos. #2 #3 #5 #7 #11 #13 #17 #19 #23 #29 #31 #37 #41 #43 #47 #53 #59 #61 #67 #71 #73 #79 #83 #89 #97 #101…

Adobe Lightroom 2: Further Use
So I did a test and found that as long as I save the metadata to the file, Adobe Bridge (even with CS2) can correctly read the changes. So I decided to work in Lightroom to see if it was worth buying. I can say that I am really loving it! I’ve been able to…

Quotes
Here are some great quotes I’ve heard/read recently: “It’s like asking for a rollercoaster when you want wasabi” – C.P. Eric: “So what was your role in the musical?” CP: “I never had a role” MK: “Oh, you were mailbox #2” “Antonio Banderas should not be doing bee commercials” – MK on Nasonex “They’ve declared…

What happens when no one obeys anymore?
A lot of people have been warning that rules/laws that everyone considers stupid are a very dangerous thing. Essentially, what happens when every single person you know is a “criminal”? It begins to create a sense that rules are pointless and if everyone’s disobeying this rule, why not disobey that one and so on. These…

The K Release
A few days ago it was announced that the Ubuntu release after Jaunty Jackalope will be known as Karmic Koala. The funny thing is that a few months ago my friends and I were racking our brains for a K adjective and all we could come up with was Keen. I was sure it would…

Review: Crunch Bang Linux 8.10
(ed note: I actually ended up reviewing Crunch Bang Linux 8.10.02 due to a problem with my 8.10 disc) I discovered Crunch Bang Linux (#!) through Linux Outlaws. Fab kept talking about how awesome it was. Then more and more podcasts and people on the tubes started talking about it. So I wrote to Linux…

Review: Slackware 12.2
I already tried installing Gentoo. Twice. The other Linux distro for the hardcore, for whom the Ubuntus and the Fedoras is too easy, is Slackware. Slackware is, of course, the oldest surviving Linux distro. I’ve already reviewed some distros based off of Slackware such as Zenwalk and Slax. Along the way I’ve come to learn…
