28 Nov 2007I love taking photos. If you haven’t checked out my flickr stream, you will see I take lots of photos. One of my major weakness has always been losing my photos! I would always take hundreds of photos, like a couple, clean them up, resize them, put them online or something, then forget about the [...]

7 Nov 2007I responded to a reader comment today, and I thought I would share the mail. I know that there is still all this Mac vs. Windows stuff (Is it just me or is this just like the East Coast vs. West Coast stuff…if only I could figure out which one was Biggie and which one [...]
