Things to Fix on the Web Part 1 – Downloads
Thought I’d start a quick little series of posts about things that bug me about the web today, and things that I’d love to see fixed and resolved in the next 5-10 years. Chances are these things will actually get worse and not better, but I figure I’d better start my wish list now. First

Another Appearance, On Perez!
I have to admit that I read Perez Hilton, but just for the juicy gossip I swear! This time I appeared on (another) Microsoft layoff story. I’m actually almost a little bit excited as my ass is now being seen by I’m sure billions of people today. Wonder if Perez would give me half-a-penny a

Sun and Trees
Went out to Maple Ridge for some stuff today, ended up taking a minor detour up near my old stomping grounds and took some pictures. This one I didn’t mind that much. Horrible lighting conditions (shooting into the sun), but it worked out ok. I bumped up the colors and the midtones a bit, gave
Quick Pic
Some friends and I went out to take pictures in downtown Vancouver a few weeks ago (when the fog was here)… got some nice ones and have them sitting in a ‘to process’ pile that I just haven’t managed to get my brain into getting to. Was doing some other stuff so I figured I’d
Alarm Clock Cat… For The Win!
Got woken up this morning by Rex whining at me and knocking my glasses around on the bedside table. I sleepily told him to bigger off, it’s too early, let me sleep. He kept at it, and as a bespecticled person the paranoia of my glasses getting knocked onto the floor was enough to pull

Excitement At Work
Test of posting with a new app called LifeCast. I give it a 5/10 so far though. Things happening at work were just a false fire alarm, someone saw smoke in the elevator or something so everyone had to truck around the corner until the FD got there and cleared things up for everyone to

New Stealth Camera Bag Pics
So I finally got around to throwing up some pics to Flickr of my “Stealth Camera Bag” which I raved about before. The inspiration came from this article (via lifehacker). The idea is simple, take a generic and boring looking messenger bag and fit it with foam and padding to protect a camera so you

Leopard Time Machine Backups To an Samba SMB Share
The short answer is to look here for the instructions that finally made it all work for me. After a little “mishap” with my addressbook a few days ago (helpfully synced, empty to the net and to my phone, so nowhere had a backup) I finally figured that checking out the much touted “Time Machine”
