ICS Now for Nexus S i9020A

It has been a long time coming – Android 4 for the Samsung Nexus S phone.  Over the last few days Google has once again been rolling out the 4.0.4 update for the Nexus S as well as the Galaxy Nexus.  As impatient as I am, I still don’t have the desire to root my [...]

VulcLAN 2012 Wrapup

Wow.  Thanks guys for making VulcLAN 2012 possibly one of the most fun events that I’ve had the pleasure to host.  It was a great time, and thanks to the awesome sponsors, we gave out over $5,800 worth of prizes over the weekend.  Amazing.

Falconer

I had a bit of a chance to day to hang out with a couple of falconers that swung by to try their hand at some “Jack” hunting.  While their hunt was unsuccessful, it was still interesting to hang out with them and learn a little bit on how different birds hunt.  They had a [...]

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 [...]

New Years Resolution – My Only One

Well, it has been way too long since I’ve updated this site, and I only have one resolution this year, and that’s to make this site more inhabitable to those of you that decide to spend your precious time checking out all of the projects that I do. This year has actually been a banner [...]

HDR – Video? Yes Indeed.

Online galleries are fully of over saturated HDR pictures that consists more of exposure blending that actual “High Dynamic Range” processing.  Still, the effect is pretty interesting and if done properly – doesn’t look horrible and can enhance a photo.  The downside is that many people overuse HDR and saturate too much for an unrealistic [...]

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 [...]
