Hobbies
This short film is great: all about the frustration that hobbies can bring. (Better quality QuickTime version here, but it might not stay at that URL, so I’ve linked to the YouTube version below.)
Coffee Drinks Illustrated
This is a great, simple-to-understand diagram of popular coffee drinks: Coffee Drinks Illustrated. Click to view the whole thing. This would make a great poster.
Moo.com Stickers!
This is so very cool. Moo.com, the company that offers small business cards and postcards that you create with your own photos, has just started offering stickers. I have nieces and nephews who are crazy about stickers. A book of 90 costs $10 (plus shipping, but that’s free during July), which is no doubt pricey ...
Qwest Is My Hero Today
More specifically, Wayne B. from Qwest is my hero today. For my Internet access at home, I use Speakeasy as my DSL provider. They’ve consistently been great, and I’ve had occasion to test them. Although I subscribe to their 768 kbps data plan, they’ve needed to throttle back my account in order to keep a ...
Behind the Scenes of Cool Sprint Ad
At the movie theater the other night, I saw a really cool ad for Sprint. What appear to be lots of people with flashlights draw all sorts of images, from flowers to giant fish to picture frames and more, all animated using stop-motion photography so that the flashlight beams meld together to create the shapes. ...
How to Purchase My Photos
Speaking of photos, the last post – plus a query from a friend – prompted me to point out that you can now purchase some of my photos, as either prints or fully framed. I wrote an article last year about printing photos for the Seattle Times (see the blog post here), and one of ...
More Local Photo Exposure
Eagle Grid Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. Metroblogging Seattle featured my photo Eagle Grid on their site today. Seattle loves me. Okay, two Seattle blogs love me. All right, two Seattle blogs have liked a couple of my photos that I posted at their Flickr groups. Still. In other photo news, I shot ...
My Apple TV Review at Seattle Times
Instead of a regular Practical Mac column this week, I reviewed the Apple TV: Computer, television learning to get along. Despite my few reservations, the Apple TV is compelling because Apple has done the living room right. The quality of the experience stands out the most, supported by the overall polish and attention to detail ...
Another Photo Featured on a Seattle Blog
Dew Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. Metroblogging Seattle featured my photo "Dew" on their site Thursday as visual accompaniment to a blog post. Metroblogging Seattle is one of a few Seattle-specific sites I track via an RSS news reader (I use NetNewsWire for Mac). As with Seattlest—where one of my photos appeared a ...
New: Photoshop Elements 5 VQS!
Okay, this is a bit belated, but I’ve been busy. My last big deadline in January was a bit of a departure for me: a book about a Windows program. Toward the end of last year, my editor at Peachpit Press asked if I’d be interested in updating an existing book. The original author wasn’t ...
