Photo Storage Solutions

I have used a variety of photo printing systems to have photos printed in the past year. Now a year after starting most of my accounts with these printers, I am receiving emails stating that my photos will be deleted if I do not order from these places. I do not quite get this. I […]

Mounted 70-300mm

The Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VRII lens mounted on the Nikon D60. Its a bit of a monster and makes the camera a little heavy.

HP DeskJet 6940

So far, if I were to review the HP DeskJet 6940, I would have to say that I am not impressed. The printing speed is no where near what HP claims, the driver is a bear to install (and also WILL NOT install on Windows Server 2003 with the CD provided) and its paper detection […]

Bought A Printer

I just bought a printer. Its the HP Deskjet 6940 Color Printer. I bought it for photo printing primarily. The only color printing that my Dell 3100cn sucks at is color, and I was able to get this printer for $40 from NewEgg. This isn’t exactly an Epson photo printer, but I suspect for my […]

Bashing Netbooks

I do not fully understand why people keep reviewing netbooks and trying to determine if they are underpowered. It is true that the netbooks came from things like the One Laptop Per Child program, but the new generation of these devices, produced by Dell, HP and Asus are quite different. I do not believe that […]

Twitter: A Replacement for Conversation

How socially handicapped can a society become? I have been ignoring the recently “twitter trend” of micro-blogging and instant status updates, mostly just hoping that Twitter would pass and then life could return to normal. Unfortunately, when your favorite porn star begins to tweet and speaks of how widespread the disease has become, it gets […]

Dirty Keyboards

http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-277938.html?tag=nl.e550 I hate thinking about this type of thing. I tend to not eat over my laptop or netbook, but I do eat at my desktop sometimes and I really do not want to know what all is growing in the keyboard. This article reminds me of why I try to replace my keyboard about […]

Social Load Balancing

I sometimes really enjoy Microsoft’s ways of manipulating its community. I received my MCP Flash/TechNet message announcing the availability of Microsoft Windows 7 Release Candidate this morning. I read over the message and found only one thing a little strange about it. The following line, which I can only assume is designed to prevent choking […]

Psychology Degree Map

Even more bored, I decided to map out the entire department’s course prerequisite sequences as well as set it up for the main BS in Psychology degree program. PDF

Unexpected Crash

I have been attempting to use Nikon Transfer on the Mini to transfer images back to the server from the memory card from the camera. I have run into a curious little problem with it though, everything works fine up until the point when I click “transfer”, when the application crashes, and I get the […]
