People are dumb and won’t stop calling

Posted in Live, tagged , , , , on February 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Yesterday, someone posted my small businesses 800 number on some sort of apartment search web site, presumably accidentally. I started getting 10-15 calls an hour on the line that normally gets one or two calls a month. Naturally I’m PAYING for each wrong number. I’ve tried to ask the people who call, usually with screaming [...]

FINALLY. Geeesh. I’m not sure why it took freaking Apple so long to support the LX3 (Leica D-Lux 3 & 4) and GF-1 and GH-1 raw format. Just lazy. Before you go and spew all that “blah blah they have to reverse engineer it blah blah” crap, look at Adobe Camera Raw that supported it [...]

R.I.P NWA.COM, I’ll miss you

Posted in Travel, tagged , , , , , on February 9, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Looks like nwa.com has been shut down, leaving us with delta.com and I must say I am going to miss it. Searching and booking flights on the northwest site was so much easier than on Delta’s, especially if you were trying to find international flights to book upgraded to business class using miles. Now you [...]

Olympus E-P2 vs Lumix GF-1 Side by Side

Posted in Photography, tagged , , , , , , , on February 5, 2010 | 11 Comments »

I had a terrible time deciding between two cameras in the Micro Four Thirds system. Both cameras have impressive features and excellent quality and both use the same lenses and can be adapted to use Leica M lenses.

Kris’ Birthday Party at Rock House, Harbor Island, Bahamas

Posted in Live, Play, Travel on February 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Last night we had an amazing dinner at Rock House on Harbor Island. We had dinner there once before with a large group with children — which must have been a planning feat by Brenda Becker because they don’t allow individuals under 18. At any rate, this was a completely different experience — later at [...]

Harbor Island, Bahamas

My tormenters unwittingly helped me out. At the office on Thursday the 29th, my mean co-workers were gleefully telling me that the approaching winter storm would strand me in Winston Salem while my friends, ironically from Minnesota, would be enjoying rum drinks on the beach.
