Tonight as I drove home having picked up dinner at Lotus Flower, I pulled to the side of the road. A nice sunset, a great amount of clouds. Light hitting some fluffy cattails. I took my camera with me as I ventured into the woods to the side, finding an old, abandoned road decades old …
I am creating an AIR application that spawns a new window, so there is a main application window and also another window. One can manipulate data in either window, and data is synchronized between the windows. So when I adjust data in the main window, I update the UI and data that’s in the secondary window.
I just decided to buck up and purchase a better tripod and after a lot of research I kept coming back to the Induro AKB2 tripod kit. I found it online marked down from $254 to $181. This includes a ball head. The AKB2 will support up to 18.7 lbs, it weighs only 4.2 lbs …
I realize that’s it’s probably just one of those things that someone coming into photography needs to get out of their system, but I had a lot of fun doing it anyway. Photographing cars in the evening to capture those magical wisps of taillights and headlamps as they move through a scene. I did this …
I have to admit to not liking Flex Builder at first – unless of course I wanted to create a Flex application. The whole course of creating a project for everything isn’t difficult, but it formalizes the whole process. Sometimes I just want to get into it and start banging out some quick classes and prototypes. I have… (more)

We’ll bang it, slam it, heat it, cool it, bend it, trim it, do whatever we can to hack something into formation in the pursuit of providing a working solution to the problem. Often-times this may even work… (more)
LED-Backlit IPS Display

And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent color and contrast. (more)
I have been reading an awful lot in regards to the seeming end of Flash use around the internet for video and general use. Apple and Adobe doesn’t see eye to eye on the matter. Whether it’s around the money generated by the iTunes Store, battery life, the lack of a mouse on an iPhone/Touch/iPad, etc. I have seen a great amount of astounding technology lately. In the form of… (more)
Blogger has now instituted a non-FTP way of doing things, and on May 1st that technique of blogging will be tossed out the window. I could migrate and retain all of that information, but I have always been curious about WordPress and all of the nice things that can be plugged into it. So I thought to myself, “why not try it out?”
And so I have. I haven’t been blogging a whole lot recently but I have been pretty busy with things you might find interesting. So I decided that a fresh start would be welcome by both me and the public… (more)
