Recently, my friends at LG loaned me a couple of their new smartphones running Microsoft’s latest mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7. The one on the left, the LG-C900B (aka the LG Quantum) has a slide out keyboard and the one on the right is the LG-E900h (aka LG Optimus 7) which is a full…
During our recent roadtrip to Austin, Texas, I was able to try out the new Extreme Pro SDHC UHS memory cards from Sandisk. As far as I know, these are the fastest SHDC cards out there (technically they aren’t out in Canada until mid-April) with a whopping 45 MB/s read/write speed (300x) with the new…
During the recent Twestival at the Vancouver Lookout, I played around with the iPad 2 camera and photobooth using the kalidescope mode. I think the results turned out pretty cool, if not a little Inception-esque. Being on top of Vancouver probably helped too: The Seabus couldn’t escape either: Even night shots turned out pretty interesting:…
I’ve been shooting with Olympus’ new Micro four thirds camera system, called the PEN, for a few months now. I started with the E-PL1 camera and then in early February, got my hands on the E-PL2 camera. I was even able to get E-PL2’s for my entire team to use while on our SXSW roadtrip….
I finally got around to jailbreaking my Kindle 3. Why? Because you can replace the default ‘screensaver’ images of authors that the Kindle normally displays when you turn it off to anything you like: It’s very easy to do. Follow the tutorial (with downloads) on this site. You can make your own screensavers or browse…
And like that, the craziest roadtrip I’ve ever been on is over. We got back to Vancouver late Sunday afternoon. It was an emotional farewell to the EhTeam as we all went our separate ways after spending the better part of two weeks together in a Chevy Traverse driving nearly 8500 kilometers as we drove…
I was originally going to do one giant SXSW wrap up post but figured a few things warranted their own posts. The first of these posts is about a party/event that I was invited to and hosted by Nikon and Vimeo called Light After Dark. In quite possibly one of the coolest venues I’ve ever…
I’ve been really enjoying the GoPro HD camera I bought a few months ago. But one thing that I’ve been waiting for and that has been lacking for it is the newly released, LCD BacPac which gives the GoPro a much needed rear LCD screen: The GoPro by itself is tiny and great for all…
The title of this post is a question I’ve been asked a lot lately…and yes, I do still have a day job. I’ve been fortunate enough lately to be able to take some vacation time off and do quite a bit of traveling with more to come. I thought I’d post an update on some…
I recently had a chance to check out some really cool technology used to create enormous, zoomable panoramic images called a Gigapans. This is the same technology used to make that huge image of US President Obama’s inauguration that you may have seen. I’ve been using a Gigapan EPIC 100 courtesy of Active Computer Services….
