I like that florescent bulbs are more energy efficient, and I like that they last longer (I certainly don’t enjoy getting on a ladder to change the bulbs in our entryway chandelier). However, I’ve tried just about every color/tone they offer and none of them come close to providing a reasonable natural light tone like…

According to their ad… finally, honesty in advertising! Well, except for the “more internet” part.

Think you’re a supertasker? Probably not – Technology & science – Wireless – msnbc.com – I believe it, though I’d also say that listening to talk radio (NPR, sports, etc.) or audio books while driving is in the same class as talking on the phone. TechStars New York – awesome. Why working at home is…

I use one of the current Apple (extended) keyboards, but I miss my switches. I’m tempted to get one of these for the home office – would probably be too noisy to use at the Crowd Favorite office.

At the parade today I watched a woman taking photos of her kids as they posed on top of a metal pig statue. Cute poses, cute kids, but the photos are going to be rubbish. She was taking the photos with the sun directly into her face (at the kids’ backs); without a fill flash.…

I received my Canon S95 this week and took a couple of shots in really dark lighting conditions. In these shots there are two light sources, an interior light from the left that barely reaches the shooting area and a streetlight from the right, shining in from a window. This one was taken at ISO…

I’ve used a number of mobile devices over the years, and there are a couple of things in my usage pattern that stand out: Speed is a feature. I need to be able to go from email to my calendar to SMS and back again effortlessly and quickly. The mobile web is slow. Even with…

I don’t get why there are so many “1st” banks out there. What is the importance of being first? I’d love to see someone come out big as “2nd Bank”, with a slogan of: Because no one gets everything right the first time. Maybe the BankSimple folks can come up with some fun campaigns around…

I’m finding that the Incognito windows in Google Chrome (I actually us Chromium) are becoming a daily tool in my standard browsing and development toolset. When I first heard about the concept of private browsing I had a more narrow view of it’s usefulness; but I’m finding lots of legitimate uses for it. A few…

I’ve been using a Canon G10 as my everyday camera for the last few years. It’s a great camera, feels wonderful in your hand, lots of manual control – it’s like a mini-SLR. Unfortunately, it’s not a mini-enough SLR, so carrying it all the time is hard. This is the constant struggle with cameras, small…

Fall is my favorite season in Colorado. During the day it is sunny and warm – usually very pleasant for eating lunch outside. The heat of the day is different from summer, it’s less intense. In the evening, it cools off considerably – feeling more like evenings up in the mountains. If you’re considering a…

Goldman Sachs Calls BlackBerry Torch Launch Underwhelming – this is simple enterprise vs. consumer markets. Most BlackBerry users have their devices paid for by their employers. Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : PowerShot SD4500 IS – This looks like a great camera for recording a golf swing. Confession #79: Pull Over Before You…
