1. An interesting review of perhaps the most interesting new camera in a while (for me, at least): the Sigma DP-1, at Luminous Landscape. Bottom line: great RAW photos from a compact yet deeply flawed camera. Hmmmm — great photos with flawed hardware. Sounds like their lenses, too…;) 2. Thoughts on how Flickr’s 90-second videos, [...]

For a while now, I’ve been meaning to recode this blog such that there are two classes of posts: “Post-type posts,” which are similar to this entry — because this type of entry is all that I’ve got set to go right now. “Quickie-type posts,” which are snippets, things that aren’t worthy of a full [...]

You’re familiar, of course, with a digital frame. If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for something, well, better. It’s coming, soon: Now here’s a thought: add Wi-Fi to a frame. Once it’s on your wireless network, Kodak’s beautiful two-toned black frame can display pictures that sit on a Windows computer elsewhere in the house, [...]

Been running around like wild person in the past couple of weeks, including an out-of-state trip and three all-nighters in last eight days. You’ll have to forgive my not updating the blog — although I do have some items to post, which I’ll try to do after completing another deadline in the morning. Meanwhile, sleep. [...]

in today’s NYTimes: OVER the years, I’ve been deeply moved by the people who’ve told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president.
