100/100 on the acid3 (no that’s not gibberish)

31Mar08

Webkit, everyone’s favorite open source, cutting-edge, sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat-until-the-latest-nightly-build-drops web browser engine recently scored a perfect 100/100 on the acid3 test. Yes, this post is late - so sue me, I was out of town. John Gruber got it on time, because he gets paid.

How does your browser measure up? (Hint: it’s not as [...]

Back from Miami!

31Mar08

I’m back. Here’s a shot of downtown Miami. I’m still toying with this one quite a bit trying to come up with a better result, but it’s a start. There’s lots more to come. So all three of you people reading this should stay tuned.

One last photo before my trip

Tomorrow I head to Miami for a week of concerts, so I wanted to get this image processed before my trip. Honestly, I don’t think it turned out very well. One photo at a time I guess…

Now that Apple has finally announced details of the launch and implementation of the iPhone SDK, the internet is buzzing with debate regarding its apparent lack of support for background applications, and some developers are not happy. Their qualms are certainly understandable, but I think the proverbial big picture is what’s important here - [...]

The infamous Red Ring of Death strikes home

14Mar08

Yep, my Xbox 360 red-ringed today. I suppose that given the estimated failure rate of these things, I had it coming. This turn of events is quite ironic considering that moments before I attempted to turn on my Xbox 360 I was reading a Digg discussion filled with angry 360 owners ready to [...]

The sun came out today

12Mar08

And that means I had the chance to shoot some photos for HDR processing for the first time in a week. I finished two HDRs today and one standard photograph. I’ll continue to work through my shots from today and send the good ones to Flickr. Here’s what I’ve finished as of [...]

Ars reviews Aperture 2

11Mar08

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big fan of Apple’s updated pro photography software Aperture 2.

Okay, that’s kind of a lie (The first part I mean - I am a big fan … not that it matters since I doubt a soul is reading this). But the bottom line is that [...]
