I have been taking pictures ever since I can remember. Whether it was goofing around as a kid with the family Polaroid camera, or as I prepared for my first photography class at age 12. My first camera was a black and white, Mamiya Sekkor camera. We didn’t have much money growing up and my parents weren’t sure that photography would be a hobby that would…

In a previous blog post
Netflix Short Changes Mac Users, I reported that Mac users were being shortchanged membership privileges that only PC users were able to access. Specifically, online movie viewing. Mind you that both PC and Mac users pay the…

Apple, Inc. (formerly Apple Computer) makes some of the coolest hardware and software available. The products are sexy (for a lack of a better term) and the software is fun and easy to use. Apple has something for everyone. For people who are newer to computing (like my parents) they were…
