Selling MORE stuff on eBay
10/14/2008 09:35 AM
I’m selling some more stuff on eBay. This time I thought I’d try a 3 Day auction:
Canon Rebel XTi / 400D Black SLR Body and Battery Grip
Gefen 4:1 HDTV HDMI/DVI Digital Video / Audio switch
I need to look around the apartment and see if there’s anything else I need to sell. I’m sure I’ll find something.

We've got iPhone... actually, we've got 2!
06/30/2007 09:02 AM
After a day of shopping for our Aruba
trip and seeing the iPhone lines at the Apple Store in the mall
(oddly enough we didn't see a line at all at the AT&T store in
the mall even though there were two security guards waiting there
for one), we headed over to the local AT&T store for a few
hours of line-sitting. I took a
few shots to commemorate the frenzy. Contacts at other lines
text-messaged me throughout and told me that it sold out at the
locations they were at. Some jumped to multiple locations to find
available iPhones. It amazed me that so many locations had short
supplies (some under 40 units) while ours seemed fully stocked and
ready to meet demand. In fact our location's manager announced that
the only limitation was the closing time of 10pm, but that there
would be plenty more available of both SKU's (8GB and 4GB) tomorrow
morning. Luckily we were in first 40 in line and had about 80
behind us. Unlike some AT&T stores that let in 5 at a time, our
store took groups of 20. So now Gene and I are proud owners of two
8GB iPhones. Adding to our luck was the fact that it didn't rain
during our time in line.
There are scattered reports of problems activating via iTunes, but both Gene and I were able to transfer our old numbers into a Family Plan fairly quickly. We even activated via 2 macs so that our individual iTunes libraries would sync correctly. All-in-All it was a good experience moving to AT&T's service and activating the iPhone for us. The two things missing that I wish it had: GPS linked to the Google Maps app and iChat/AIM functionality. The first could possibly be added as an accessory later, but could prove bulky. The second could easily be added via a Software Update. Many bemoan the fact that this is a 2.5G phone on the EDGE network rather than the much speedier HSPDA 3G network. I've been surfing on my HTC based WinMobile smartphone over EDGE for a long time and can attest to its slowness at times, but the iPhone is definitely smoother and more tolerable on EDGE than any other EDGE phone I've tried. The seemless WiFi switchover also makes this less of an issue for me as long as there is a nearby hotspot (and there are many around the metro-NY/NJ area).
We still have to set them up to connect to both our car's built-in Bluetooth Handsfree and respective audio connections, but hopefully those will go smoothly as well.

Professional Photographer
06/13/2007 06:13 AM
So in the move from Semi-Pro to Pro Photographer, I've joined the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). They are one of the oldest and largest international (yes, I know it says America in the name, but it is an International Organization) photography industry groups, having been established in 1880. Primary reason to join: membership includes Malpractice Trust (similar to Malpractice Insurance without rising premiums but the addition of advice/legal representation.) and discounted "All Risk" Equipment Insurance and Business Liability Insurance. They are also one of the primary resources used by professional photographers whether they specialize in Fine Art, Commercial, Stock, Portrait, or Wedding, etc.

Gallery Updates
03/09/2006 05:46 PM
I've updated my photo site with two new Galleries: FAAFiversary for March 5, 2006 and Vagina Monologues. The FAAF one is for the 1st Anniversary of Fish and a Flick (check the link for details on what Fish and a Flick is). The second one is for the New School's production of The Vagina Monologues. My wife participated in the role of "The Angry Vagina" which I can attest is a fairly accurate assessment. Her monologue was actually closer to "Sarcastic Stand Up Comedian Vagina" than actually angry.
