So instead of making the images small on the site I started looking into better compression methods or methodologies. What I did was export from Lightroom […]
So, without having a real deep understanding of if this is possible I have an idea. Email is ubiquitous, and if you are like me I can never get to inbox ZERO, I have tried. I always looked at in a couple of ways: 1. I might need to reference that email sometime in the […]
Super easy setup, the first thing I did was a speed test 13 Mbps down 4.5 Mbps up. That is a damn fast connection for a small portable wi-fi device. Can't wait to get outside and use it.
Interesting and a bit sneaky on Apples part. It doesn't seem to have data from all days, but it does have a lot. And my world view, not as exciting, would of been cooler in years past when I was traveling more. Thanks to of Pete Warden's iPhone Tracker software
You say you want a revolution? Well it is here and it is in the shape of a giant iPhone, but the comparison ends there. The iPad is a serious computing device, I don't know where or how exactly this product will effect my life, but in the first three hours of using it I […]
Last week we finaly decided to make the move to gmail. Our current email server has been humming along for the last 4 years, it was only a matter of time before something was going to go wrong. We have been using a combination of our own IMAP server running on a G4, yes a […]

I checked out Google Latitude yesterday, pretty cool, kinda a mobile extension of google maps that allows you to see where your friends are and interact with them. When I logged in i already had a request from my friend David Petherick, in the UK, he is contributing editor to the Next Web Blog. I was able […]
While I was putting together my post on how I manage my picture workflow and archiving, it got me thinking about an even larger problem, the archiving and workflow of the production server here at Empressr and Fusebox. This post I'm going to talk about archiving workflow. At Fusebox we have a climate controlled server […]
A nightmarish problem that just keeps growing and growing is how to deal with all your personal data when it comes to pictures and video. I've been using this work-flow for some years now, I thought I should share it and get some feedback. I do plan on making a few changes to it in […]
I was looking for a restaurant to have dinner with my wife this evening. I couldn't remember the name of the place I wanted to go to, but I knew the street it was on, the cross street, and the type of cuisine. I figured a quick search on Citysearch would find the place, after […]

I love CNN, but I don't get the purpose or the intent of this article! One the iPhone rocks, yes it is missing a few features I would really love to have. The usability, like no other phone or device, EVER. Need to get your email, you know exactly what button to click, need web, […]
