Nikon D4 Launch

If you have a bit of time this morning (January 24), you can head on over to Kelby TV and watch the big unveiling and demo of the new Nikon D4.  I’m pretty excited about the technology although I won’t ever be able to afford this.  The interesting thing is that that it features a [...]

CES 2012 In The Bag

Once again, I was blessed to be able to attend CES in Las Vegas this January.  The company I own – BCCHardware.com, managed to scrape together enough money to secure a house where a total of five of us stayed and took in North America’s largest tech show.

YC – 2010 Tenth Avenue North Keeps it Real

I find that in my travels, many people – including myself at times – put on a mask that disguises what they are feeling.  Often we act socially acceptable instead of how we feel like acting, and while this is a good thing if it prevents violence, it is still a mask.  Honestly, I find [...]

Canon To Do Good In-Camera HDR

It looks like Canon is filing a patent to do some “good” in camera HDR in the near future and they have redone the way HDR is done in order to do this on-the-fly. Typically, High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is done by post-processing a few different exposures onto a single image. Canon is doing [...]

Doritos, Viral Videos and Billy Reid

We had a chance to sit down with Billy Reid regarding video creation, how to make them viral and who is staying ahead of the curve.  Aparently, Doritos is a company that gets it.  At the very least, it appears that someone at Doritos has teens that watch Youtube.  Doritos has been hosting a contest [...]
