When iPhone iOS4 came out, I was relatively quick to upgrade my iPhone 3G to the new OS to try out the few new features that work on the older phone. One thing I noticed immediately was that the phone slowed down. The iPhone 3G, even running OS 3.1.3 is slower than the 3Gs and [...]

I love this great image of Ed Mika and what looks like a 1D body and a 300mm f/2.8 lens on a monopod with a little girl’s face stuck in the end. Good thing that lens hood is deep or she’d be licking the front element.

Let me preface this by saying I’m in no huge rush for a new iPhone. I can wait, no problem. I pre-ordered an iPhone at our local, New Milford AT&T store the very first day it was possible. I was told I’d have a phone the day they went on sale. That day has come [...]

Missing Cat Poster I can relate to this in variety of ways: As one who lost a cat and made posters (they worked, we got her back) As one who’s been asked to do things and couldn’t sync with the person asking As one who’s asked for help and couldn’t sync with the person helping [...]

iPhone 4 photography: how does it perform as a camera? Xeni Jardin at Boingboing posts some great shots taken with the new iPhone. Frankly, the camera in this phone is going to eat away at the mid-level point and shoot camera market and of course, if you’re already carrying a phone you have a camera [...]

Los Angeles, California. Every time I get to the Getty I’m astounded by the architecture. The architect Richard Meier put incredible lines, windows, angles, curves, and textures in almost every view. You look up, down, across and through in almost any place you can get to and there are things of interest to see. Looking [...]

The iPad Keyboard Dock Works With the iPhone 3GS If you read both Andy’s notes and the comments below, you’ll note that this does not work with the iPhone 3G running iOS4. Not a deal breaker for me as my 3G will go to Anne who won’t care about this. As a (hopefully) soon to [...]

Los Angeles, California. Each time we go to The Getty Center I look down into the garden from above to see what’s in bloom and if it will be worthwhile wheeling my 95 year old mother down there for a look. This past trip we took a spin through the garden because the poppies were [...]

We hiked from Salisbury, Connecticut up over Lion’s Head and over to Bear Mountain and back (about 11 miles round trip) and this fern was one of many varieties on the trail. This is a great hike if you’re ever in the area, loaded with lots of great trees, mountain laurel (in season), ferns and [...]
