Above: A new meaning for “The Sky’s the Limit.”
A couple of weeks ago I came across information about a camera lens/accessory bag called appropriately “the SHOOTSAC.” What attracted me about this bag is that it seemed to be made for use while actually shooting rather then transporting your gear to and from the site.

Recently while photographing for most of a day in sub-freezing weather I tried out a pair of Lowepro Lycra Photo Gloves with good results.
The Photo Gloves are fairly thin, close fitting, flexible and have rubber like “control dots” to improve grip. They do afford great grip and wearing them I was easily able to operate [...]

I thought I’d share a good review from Austria (in English) of the new Nikon D3x which includes good visuals of how the D3x 24.5-megapixel resolution translates to photos. There are comparison photos to those of a Nikon D3 as well.
The D3x sample photos in this review are impressive and in a situation where you [...]

Ever wonder what’s causing all those quickly blinking data transfer lights on your home network router when there should be little activity taking place? Or perhaps your network’s performance is off and you don’t know why, or you suspect one of your applications is connecting to outside resources?
These are viable questions to anyone who maintains [...]

There’s been thousands of reviews and impressions published on both the iPod Touch and the iPhone so I don’t know that I can add anything but here’s a couple of things I noted after a day: The multi-touch interface is very good. … However, I have to say that it’s not as bad as watching one of those movies on an aircraft from four rows back of one of the drop down screens.

Going on an extended trip with both photographic and computer gear can often be daunting, especially if flying.
You don’t want to pack and check your expensive gear, exposing it to being tossed about, unknowingly opened or lost, but if kept with you it indeed must be portable.
On our trip to Alaska I packed my [...]

Prior to our recent trip, I was looking for some extra Compact Flash (CF) memory cards for my Nikon camera.
The CF cards needed to have enough storage capacity without being so large as to take forever to download photos from, be fast to allow continuous shooting and be reliable without costing a small fortune.
Those needs [...]

Ryan Paul at Ars Technica has published a detailed review of Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon”.
Final thoughts from the review included:
Linux is now an appealing choice for many users who would never have considered making the switch a few years ago. Distributions have improved at an astounding pace, and Ubuntu leads the pack on the desktop. [...]

Those few who’ve managed to escape the plague struggle to stay alive on the highest mountains, but time is running out-there is famine and war, and the environment is crashing worldwide. Humanity’s last hope lies with a top nanotech researcher aboard the International Space Station-and with a small group of survivors in California who risk a daring journey below the death line…Thoughts after reading:It was an entertaining short read that was somewhat predicable…. Maybe it was for this reason that it took me a while to get into and identify with the story.The nano altitude destruction trigger was a new hook for the story and made for some interesting thoughts and story angles.
