I’m Reading…I’m sharing this fix with the world, so that others need not live my pain.
Last night, I returned from Lake Tahoe with 451 beautiful shots of our family snow trip, all taken with my Canon 40D SLR. Each shot was captured in both large format JPG and RAW format.
Unfortunately, after loading all my images into [...]

Since it’s just a few days before New Years, I thought I’d share my absolute, number one pet peeve from this year (and every year’s) big family party: the family picture digital camera paparazzi.
No, my family isn’t so famous that actual Paparazzi stake out my grandmother’s house and hound the streets and yard for photos. [...]

From time to time, I post the technical exploits of my friend Eric here. I remember the attention he got a while back for hacking his MacBook Pro to support a RAID configuration.
Well, Eric has managed to extend that experimentation to a pair of new OCZ 120GB Solid State Drives (SSD).
Two OCZ Core Series v2 [...]

I was feeling really bad on Tuesday.
A gorgeous lunar eclipse took place that was visible from most of Asia-Pacific, and even stretched to full visibility over California. But with peak viewing at just past 3:30am, I just couldn’t make it. One of the liabilities of having two kids under 3 and a full-time gig at [...]

Not sure what to say here but wow.
My friend Eric has done it again. You may remember my last post here about his efforts to get a 320GB Raid 0 array into a MacBook Pro.
Well, he recently ran out of storage on his Mac Pro, and upgraded it with six (6) 1 TB drives, for [...]

This is more of a quick tip, just in case you start having the same problem that I did.
I made a mistake recently where I pulled out my compact flash card before the iPhoto import was complete. Instead of handling this gracefully, I ended up with a bunch of images in iPhoto where the [...]

Eric has posted just an amazing photo on his daily blog, and I thought I’d share it here.
I think it’s just an amazing shot. Having taken approximately 30,000 shots myself now, I can safely say that inevitably any photos that Eric takes are noticeably better than mine. Thank goodness for our family [...]
