It might be a nice Flickr feature -- even if you had no plans of leaving Flickr -- to auto-transfer all of your photos to some other storage service. Even something like Amazon Glacier, which would obviously not be a competitor to Flickr. T

As a band leader, I have produced score material using Sibelius for years, and have been using Avid Scorch Sibelius file viewer on the iPad. Unfortunately, Avid seems not especially interested in supporting this product... this is a case wh

A couple of weeks ago, I heard on the radio a program, something like, "The Frugal DJ", wherein all of the music played came off of records that the host had obtained for cheap. Like, $1 albums at garage sales. It was interesting.

Canon 5D cameras can use SD and CF cards simultaneously. I personally use the "less professional" 6D, which is SD-card only, but even for the "more professional" 5D users, it makes sense to me that they might want to loa

I don't read much fiction, but usually when I do, I feel as if I ought to read more, because it seems to engage creative imaginative thinking in a way that non-fiction doesn't. Anecdotally, of course.

I like square photos. But I've also taken so many pictures on both film and full-frame digital cameras that 24x36 looks normal to me. Other aspect ratios (besides square) strike me as odd!

Border collies can be especially intense. Would recommend to a potential adopter to very strongly consider not getting a border collie. Only if you are sure it is right for you, and that you are right for it, then go for it.
