So the first B&H Event Space lecture I ever went to was earlier this April in a class about Travel Photography taught by Rudy Winston, an employee of Canon. His lecture was about taking a vacation specifically to get certain photos. In other words this was not about improving your photography while on vacation with [...]

The funny thing is that if you’ve been burned by this in your programming, you’ll find it tragically funny. All kinds of disasters from mundane to NASA-level have ocurred because people didn’t make their variables large enough. Thanks for that reminder, xkcd.

My wife said since she isn’t using the Linux computer I built for her, that I could use it. It has a Intel Core 2 Duo Dual Core chip, so I was pretty excited to try out 64-bit computing to see if there would be any problems. I installed Fedora 10 since I’m used to [...]

If you read a lot of technology news on the interwebs, it appears as though we will soon all be using cloud computing. No longer will people have hard drives or buy programs.

It’s the basis of Ubuntu, Mepis, Xandros, and many others. And many people use Debian where they need a nice, stable distro. The fact that Debian’s stable releases come out every [...]

Wednesday I wrote about choosing the right camera. Today I wanted to write about choosing lenses for your dSLR. Just looking at the entire range of lenses available for a Canon EOS camera there are lenses from $89 all the way up to $8,000. You might see two lenses that go from 28-105mm, but one [...]

I recently heard that Cuba had created their own Linux distribution, Nova. Like many other countries with a rocky relationship with the USA (Russia, China, Iran), Cuba is wary of running their entire computer infrastructure on software developed in the USA. As someone of Cuban ancestry, this development piqued my interested and I decided to [...]

What should I buy?
I often see many people asking online how to choose the right camera. They are bombarded with all the megapixels and various features on offer and they have no idea what to get. And usually the retailers (Best Buy, Frys, etc) try and get you to buy more camera than you need. [...]
