Ghetto fabulous negative tilt keyboard

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Currently I’m using the Belking Ergo Board Pro USB edition as my primary work keyboard. Mainly because it is one of the only USB ergonomic keyboards. I tried the MS Natural 4000, but it sucks goat, so I had to get this one.
It’s pretty good, except it doesn’t have the negavtive tilt like the 4000 […]

Aperture image loading time

Friday, June 30th, 2006

On a Powerbook G4, Aperture is pretty slow. I think everyone who cares knows that. But the interesting thing is, it’s slow regardless of whether you’re looking at a big RAW image or a big JPEG image.
For the longest time, I thought I was taking a performance hit because I wanted to shoot in RAW. […]

Diving right in

A surfer heads for the waves as we sit and watch him on the Carmel beach.

Grad school dorm at Princeton

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

It always seemed nicer to me than the undergrad dorms. Aside from the fact that it was really far away from campus.

Smugmug + Textpattern Photoblog

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

As you can see, I’ve been working on making a photoblog. Nothing too complex. My only requirement was that I wanted to use the photos that are hosted on my smugmug account, so that I wouldn’t have to maintain two sets of images online. It’s already a big enough pain to maintain one locally on […]

Crashing waves

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

What’s the trick to capturing waves crashing on to rock? I took so many pictures of this scene, and yet this mediocre shot was the best one I got. Do I need to be closer? Do I just need to frame it differently? (this one is cropped already.)

Switch

Monday, June 19th, 2006

I’ve finally switched over from a test textpattern deployment to using it to run my site. As you can see, I’ve done nothing to the built-in super-boring theme. But the only way I can get myself to take is seriously is to force this ugliness upon the world, so please bear with me.

Textpattern again

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

I had pretty much given up on txp, but then I saw this site. Not extremely interesting content-wise, but I do like the layout. I can imagine having a two column page where one column has all my short posts like this one, and another column has all my long rants.

Belkin Ergoboard Pro arrives

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

I know I’m behind on my reviews, but my excuse is that I didn’t have keyboard that I was happy enough with to write my reviews on. That may have changed, as I received the Belking ErgoBoard Pro (USB, black) today. First impresssions, aside from the lack of adjustability, are pretty positive.
More to come in […]
