I am dusting off my blog!

I have not been to CES in 2 years. While I am waiting for my media credentials to be approved, I thought I would dust off my blog. Life has been busy. Summers helping family with a campground we owned, the rest of the time running a photography accessory company, The Lens FlipperĀ .Ā Seems that I […]

Zagg makes me see colors!

  Zagg was kind enough to ship out a ZAGG Pro Folio +Ā for the iPad 3. Of course this is not the first keyboard I have tried for the iPad, but it has some great qualities. So, lets start off with weight. We all know when we add a keyboard to the iPad, it gains […]

Hello Thermostat?

Yes, I talk to innate objects. Like most all men, I talk (shout?) at the TV, Computer, and cars. I talk to my iPhone and iPad. They answer. I tell my thermostat that I am cold. It turns up the heat. I tell it I am hot, It cools. I say hello, it says hello […]

Snapshot Smartphone Camera Remote

How many times did you really want a remote cameraĀ trigger for your phone? Trying to use a pole like xShot? Shaxon has a nice solution. The Snapshot Smartphone Camera Remote. Now, I don’t know exactly how it works. It does not pair through Bluetooth. You do need to download the app, in iTunes or Google […]

Keyboard companion for the iPad Mini

ZaggĀ was kind enough to send me a Folio Keyboard for the iPad Mini. This is one of several keyboards I have had a chance to try, but the first for the iPad Mini. If this keyboard would fold all the way over, it would be perfection for some. Of course if you use this case […]

One of my scarriest times as a photographer

After shooting a job in New Hampshire, a friend and I walked through a state park. At the time I was a heavy smoker and the idea of walking really did not appeal to me. To make a long story short, It was this defining moment, a little scared I met a bear, but at […]

How would this world be if all of corporate America did this?

Chic FilĀ A gives out free food to motorists stranded in Southern snowstorm. Here is the story http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/01/29/chick-fil-gives-free-food-to-motorists-stranded-in-southern-snowstorm/ Just think if all companies had this kind of heart. This is what happens when a company puts Christ first.

Powramid. When you get round to plugging it in…

Being a geeky gadget guy, you can imaging the amount of power adaptors I have. And he ones hated the most are the ones that take up two plugs, or worse, three because of the size or the orientation of the plug. Sometimes I have to add a power strip to a power strip because […]
