Your cellphone will be your supercomputer
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
I’m going to play technological prophet for a moment. In light of Apple releasing it’s third version of its iPhone software, I began thinking about the capabilities of smart phones and the possibility they have to overpower your PC as your main machine simply because of the mobility of the phone.
This comparison shows you what I see as the nine most important abilities of the two most popular personal technological devices.

Tips for the everyday videographer
Saturday, March 14th, 2009
My friend James is thinking about getting a video camera and was asking me if I thought he should do it. This is a question I’ve been asked a couple times before. I’ve always had a video camera and have logged hundreds of hours shooting and editing. A couple tips came to mind on how your average James could get the best shots and make the most out of his purchase.

Real life is not always exciting as you know. Sometimes you have to give things a little shove in order to get good shots. If you have a video camera you now have an ability others don’t, the power to get people to do things they normally wouldn’t.

One month left in Korea
Monday, March 9th, 2009
Now the countdown begins, I have lots of planning to do. I’ve decided to fly into San Francisco and explore California for a bit when I return. Never been there before. My plan so far is pretty basic. I plan to rent a car in San Fran and drive down to San Diego where I have a friend, and back up again.
I’m won’t be in any hurry and hope so spend at least a couple days in some of the larger cities. I plan to try out www.couchsurfing.com for the first time. Maybe a can catch up with these guys at some point. Also plan on doing a little job hunting, but with the economy like it is it’s tough to stay optimistic. Anybody with must see stops in mind let me know.
Oh yea, first stop, 4×4 Animal Style In-N-Out Burger.
