As mentioned a few days ago, I'm having problems with Portable Ubuntu. This morning, fed up with my perfectionist ways, I decided to jump through the hoops required to do it the no-brainer way, that Justin suggested. I wish I hadn't.

After reading Where are all the goddam photos, something in my head clicked. Not that photographers need a new way of doing things — I'd figured that out already — but that I wasn't the only one in this same situation trying to do this same damn thing.
Every day I see Photographers making it big. [...]

I'm short on time, so you get a quick update.
Celeste was 3 months old over a week ago and I have yet to take her 3 month photos. Bad Daniel. Tonight, maybe. I hope.
From today until Monday we are buuuuuuuusy: Two dinner dates, two lunch dates, a nice little roadtrip with friends, a coffee gathering, [...]

The last time I looked into Portable USB hard drives, in the end, I simply gave up. I ended up purchasing a 160GB Acomdata drive unknowning what a nightmare connecting it to two USB ports would be. This particular drive requires either an external power connection, or two USB ports to be occupied in order [...]

From this point out, I'm changing everything. Because I can. Because I should. Because it'll make me happier.

I've been doing some research into High Speed Sync (aka Auto FP in the Nikon world) and its effects on maximum flash distance.
Essentially, in these High Speed Sync Modes, the Flash is staying "on" (actually, it's just pulsing really fast) for the entire time of the exposure. Despite the fact that with HSS, we're talking [...]

Jess and I are thinking about going camping this weekend. Somewhere close to home as a sort of trial run for camping with the baby. It's supposed to get down as low as 40F or maybe even 35F so some of you can just stop reading now.
