  • TechCrunch the definitive Web 2.0 source

    TechCrunch » About TechCrunch. It about says it. Most folks I know say that TechCrunch, although just a year old is the definitive place to keep track of the 20,000 web 2.0 companies now around.

  • The Best summary of Nikon D200 vs. Canon EOS-5D

    Nikon D200 Review: 31. Conclusion: Digital Photography Review. Probably the best summary of the D200 vs. the 5D. The net is that they have about the same image quality, with a slight edge to the 5D, its interesting to see they like others like the ergonomics of the D200 better. In low noise, the 5D…

  • Camera Recommendation

    So after all this research, here is the final recommendation at least this week: # If you just want a point and shoot, get the Fujifilm F10 or buy the F11 from Japanese export sites if you want the full manual. This is a very nice 6 megapixel camera and it shoots very well to…

  • They are small and great at metrokitchens.com

    Well, I’ve tried cooking.com (http://cooking.com) and pricegrabber (http://pricegrabber.com) often has cooking things although this is uneven, but my favorite is a “small” business on the internet called Metro Kitchens (http://metrokitchens.com). They are based in Atlanta and are a little store, but they have super high quality merchandise that is really “durable cooking” stuff. We got…

  • The perfect prep book

    It is amazing how many people don’t prepare for interviews at all. In any case, since I’ve probably done one a day for the last literally 15 years (yikes am I that old!) and I’ve also gotten jobs way above my head, I suggest that you pick up this book when you get a chance.…

  • Sigma Lenses

    Bob mentioned to me that Sigma has some good alternative lenses to Canon, the folks at “Lightrules”:http://www.pbase.com/lightrules/lenstests have some reviews of these lenses comparing them with Canon. Interesting results , but as Bob also mentioned, quality control is much nore of a factor with these lenses, so caveat emptor * “Sigma 24-70 F2.8 EX DG”:http://www.pbase.com/lightrules/2470.…

  • Canadian Retreats

    Some places to think about going if you want a getaway. We’ve been to the usual places, so up to BC we go. Here were some that came up in searches: * “Poet Cove”:http://www.poetscove.com/. This is on Pender Island. Seems like a good spot, although getting to Pender Island sure isn’t easy. Has a nice…

  • Dr. Beach

    Wow, you are right Dr. Beach (http://www.drbeach.org/) really does have it right. What a great idea, the top 10 beaches. So instead of voting for my own, let’s see what he says. First of all, I see that he only rates US beaches. I have to say, IMHO, that its a big world and the…

  • Canon Lenses

    Canon Digital SLR Camera and Lens Reviews! The-Digital-Picture.com. A great site that seems to review just about every Canon lense. Here’s a quick overview of the top lenses and some good “general recommendations”:http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Lenses/Canon-General-Purpose-Lens.aspx. The folks at “Fred Miranda”:http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/showcat.php?cat=27 also have a great list that correlates to Digital Picture. !http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Images/Other/Canon-Normal-Zoom-Lenses-Ret.jpg!
