Photography
Lately, actually since Thailand in November, thanks to Chet Gordon (http://chetgordon.blogspot.com/), my photography roommate there, my joy of photography has grown leaps and bounds. I find myself listening to TWiP and Nikonians podcasts all the time. I am playing in Photoshop, just having fun taking pictures all the time. I know one reason is because I can’t wait to start to take picts of B/C, and I want to be ready. I am very much still an amatuer, but I think I am getting better slowly but surely. This week its all about creating panaramas(the current banner at the top is a panorama of SW entrance to Washington Square Park, taken with photos from my iPhone). Right now I am building almost always from pictures from my iPhone, because they are smaller files and I always have my iPhone with me, I can’t really say that about my Nikon D300, its just too heavy to carry with everything else in my pack daily, but this weekend I plan on taking some more with it, maybe the Battleship NJ, and a skyline of Philly shot. We will see what mess I get into. Check out my photos on my flickr acount: http://www.flickr.com/chasmo
Comcast Continues Shananagins
This time its not me its the Father of Blogging, Dave Winer, whose account can be found at http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/04/16/aNewReasonToHateComcast.html . Its really shows how sad Comcast is. Now that I know they actually read and respond to blogs, to nail the guy who started RSS feeds, which really power blogging and podcasts, is really just plain stupid.
Comcast he knows how to get the word out. I know you think you control the internet, but the fact is you only control some access, and people have tons of choices on how to get online. They are not forced by the municipalities that you take tax breaks from, and don’t return with what you promise. We know how to get the word out, and we are doing just that. Your actions will catch up to you.
