Robert Lee, the ‘Voice’ of Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel made a custom voicemail greeting for me after I mentioned on Twitter about how cool it would be if he did…as if I needed any more reasons why the internet is awesome! I added the theme music and title card….Robert even sent me a couple…
Actually, this isn’t about the quality of the iPhone 3GS video which is surprisingly good, but rather of what it looks like when you upload it to an online service. When you shoot some video, you have a number of options to get it online. Unfortunately, all of them seem to currently suck unless you…
Today, I stopped off at the Bootup Labs/Strutta offices and did a guest spot on the couch with Jordan for a holiday edition of Couch Beers. We chatted about Jordan’s upcoming iPhone acquisition, MobileMe, steps to secure your iPhone, some of my favourite applications and a new piece of gear I just picked up (which…
I’ve had my Kia Soul for just over a month now and it’s still a fantastic car that I really enjoy driving. Kia’s done a great job at promoting this car, including this very creative video shot on the docks where my actual car would have sat before heading to Canada: and I just stumbled…
After finally acquiring a shiny new iPhone 3GS, I started playing around with the new camera and video features.

They’ve been pretty quiet about what Wantsa’s all about and then they went and hired my friend, Colleen Coplick who has the awesome title of ‘Professional Loudmouth’ for Wantsa. She’s…
While trolling around eBay, I stumbled across this extension tube for about $10 USD delivered from Hong Kong which attaches to the screw mount on my Nikon P6000: The build quality and finish of the tube is almost a perfect match to the P6000. Nikon sells a similar tube (for around $40 CDN) which has…
Playing with my Lensbaby Composer and the star disk from the creative aperture kit on my D90 while driving back from Seattle: Sometimes it’s fun when you don’t have to drive.
I’ve gotten a lot of requests for a low light sample with the Kodak Zx1 and thought it might be good to see how it compares to the Zi6 so I strapped them together on a tripod: While the cameras aren’t perfectly lined up, the video below should demonstrate low light well enough. Both clips…
