Here are some quick tips on how you can photograph fireworks for the 4th. (more…)

Just picked up this new monitor from Dell.  21.5″ widescreen, 1920X1080, DVI, VGA .  Works great, definately a bit more screen real estate. [Dell]

Ahhh Microsoft Codename “Fiji”.  You have been most awaited, most revered, and lately a most unwarranted pain in the ass.  What are you anyway?  No one really knows.  “Fiji” was supposed to be this rather large update of Windows Media Center before the launch of Windows 7. 

However, the latest release “Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008″ does not appear to be “Fiji”.  I could be totally wrong.  The TV Pack seems to be some behind closed doors commercial update.  “Fiji” was about UI updates, extenders, and special new features; certainly not just QAM, HD recording, and teletext.

“Fiji” show yourself and show us what we’ve waited for.

In the hunt for cheap HDMI cables? I have just the place. monoprice.com Yes, you can go there now, I’ll wait.  Okay, so you are installing, moving, redoing, your home theater setup.  Order earlier and order a lot.

These are high quality great price cables. I’ve been using them as stocking stuffers, seriously. You will not find anything better. Everyone at avsforum.com raves about these cables.

“The Internet marketplace remains fundamentally healthy, and the purported ‘cure’ could only make it sick,” AT&T’s filing declared. “At best, the network-management restrictions proposed by Free Press and others would inflict wasteful costs on broadband providers in the form of expensive and needless capacity upgrades—costs that would ultimately be passed through to end users, raise broadband prices across the board, and force ordinary broadband consumers to subsidize the bandwidth-hogging activities of a few.”

 Pfft.

Or maybe not. Maybe the best thing would be for American corporations to do everything feasible to inhibit and hinder the advance of our society. Take for instance Comcast, effectively throttling the usage of customers when they feel necessary. Or Time Warner, using a pay-per-usage model.

Why don’t we just stop society from advancing because we would rather be rich. NO. Lets move forward, lets get broadband to the masses and then turbo charge it.  Every other country in the world has gotten this to work, why can’t America. The internet isn’t a commodity anymore, its a neccessity.
