I spent the weekend photographing areas of Seattle using two of the top Android camera phones for a new CNET article.
Here at Macworld, I was just interviewed by Michael Verdi and Ryanne Hodson of freevlog.org, who are also writing a book for Peachpit called “Secrets of Videoblogging”. The post should be up soon at http://nectar.peachpitconnect.com/. It’s fun to be sitting in the lobby on the floor, blogging about vlogging. Vlogging is one of those things ...
As expected, Apple today announced iLife ’06 at this morning’s Macworld Expo keynote address. We’ve posted more detailed information at TidBITS. Also announced were Intel-powered iMacs (shipping now) and the new PowerBook replacement, the Intel-powered MacBook Pro: I want one, shipping February (which means March/April to be realistic; the online Apple Store seems to be ...
Chris Gaither at the LA Times wrote a good piece about this week’s announcement of Google Video, especially noting that anyone will be able to charge for their videos: Google Video Seeks a Bite of Apple’s Market. I think that over time, this could be huge. After all, you’d like to make some money off ...
Last June, I noted JVC’s Everio line of hard drive-based camcorders. Now, Sony has introduced the DCR-SR100 ($1,100) (link via Gizmodo), a nifty camcorder with a 30 GB hard drive built in. They claim it can record up to 7 hours of DVD-quality video, but I want to know if it will record DV-quality (I’m ...
Did I mention that I’m also going to CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) this week? I’m catching the tail end of it, but already there are things that I want to make a point of seeing. For example, Sanyo’s HD1 Digital Media Camera, a super-compact HD camcorder that records directly to SD media. It boasts ...

I was out of the country for much of November and December, visiting relatives and going on safari in South Africa, which is why I haven’t updated this page in a while. You can view still photos here; I’ll post some video in the next few weeks. Why wait a few weeks? I’m headed to ...
My office is located in the heart of Fremont, a funky artistic neighborhood in Seattle, which also happens to have three very good coffeeshops (Caffe Ladro, Fremont Coffee Company, and e.t.g.) and two half-decent ones (Starbucks, Peet’s Coffee & Tea), all within a four-minute walk. After grabbing a nice hot latté (at Ladro; I’m not ...
Leopard drinking Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. I’ve finally uploaded all of the South Africa photos that we rated 5-stars in iPhoto. Click the photo at right, or go to my South Africa Trip photo set. I’m also happy to report that jetlag seems to finally be passing, and life is getting back to normal. ...
Something on the horizon Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. We went on three wildlife tours while in South Africa. At the first, Hilltop Camp in Hluhluwe, we spotted one lion on a hilltop; you could see her face, but that was about it. At the second, the walking tour at Imfolozi, we didn’t see any ...
