Composition and Impact: It’s a beautiful photograph, but do you know WHY it’s beautiful? – I know understand a little more about my camera’s aperture setting, the Golden Mean, Framing and lots of other useful photography stuff.
Speaking of, what do you think of this photo I took of young Jack last night:
Or this one:
It’s my desktop background right now.

(0)8 Mistakes To Avoid When Naming Your Business – “Mistake #6: Making your business name so obscure, customers will never know what it means.” Translation: “Inluminent is a shitty name”. Yep, I learned that one.
(2)If you’re a Queen fan, you should probably check out The Darkness, a Rock and Roll band from Britain that definitely sounds like modern day Queen.

The iTMS has an exclusive EP for sale, but it’s not available for US iTMS shoppers… the other albums and singles are though.
Totally cool, and a great new band to put into the ol’ iPod.
Rock on!
Ars Technica on Aperture 1.0 – this is the review I’ve been looking for. If you’re interested in Aperture, read this review.
update: After reading the review completely myself, I’m left thinking that maybe Aperture isn’t what I need, and maybe it is something I’ll want, evenutally. I don’t know, and haven’t made up my mind…
The Ars conclusion:
Maybe by 2.0 Apple will have the foundation sorted out. At this stage Aperture is a big, expensive misfire and considering the hefty price tag, I can’t think of a reason to recommend it. Reading this review, you may think I sound jaded, but I am genuinely angry for those who shelled out US$500 for a program that promised professional results and failed to deliver. Thanks for coming out Aperture, now get off the stage.
Your Brain on Shopping – a great little read on the differences between Men’s brains and women’s brains when it comes to shopping.

(0)Just in time for some eBay Christmas shopping, I’ve posted another 9 items on eBay. I’ve still got more stuff to put online, but I can only take writing up eBay discriptions for so long before I’ve got to take a break…
- Apple iPod 20GB – 3rd Generation – Lots of extras – This iPod has been my baby for the past two years or so… I love it, and am selling it because I bought a nano recently. If you’d like to pick up a good solid iPod (with 17 GBs of music on it) bid now! Starting bid is $0.99.
- 3 Optical Mice – Not 3 blind mice, 3 optical mice (bwahahahaha!) – 3 good mice to a good home.
- Motorola (GI) Surfboard SB3100 cable modem – it’s a cable modem… not much more to say about that.
- 1950′s style Manual Card Shuffler – NEW, IN BOX! – perfect Christmas gift folks… that’s what we bought it for.
- 50 Imation Slimline CD Jewels/Cases – New Unopened! – CD Jewels. You can always use more CD Jewels, especially these slick slim ones!
- Belkin Multi-Network Cable Tester – like new – If you ever need one of these, you’ll wish you’d have bought this set on eBay, or you’ll be paying upwards of $50 retail. Better safe than sorry, right?
- Palm Portable Expandable Keyboard – Got a palm? Ever get tired or trying to Graffiti in anything longer than 3 characters? Get a keyboard… makes life a lot easier.
- Motorola 5.8 Ghz cordless phone, Model MA550 – Great phone that I barely used… need a new phone around the house? Check out this one.
- RCA WSP150 900 MHz Wireless Speakers – like new – used them once to see if they worked before I put them up for auction. They work, and now they’re on eBay. I got these for a birthday present, and just don’t need them, so they’re yours, if you want them.
update: Added four more items to eBay tonight:
