  • Great tips for newbie photographers

    I just read Simon Dingle’s terrific post titled “Choosing a first DSLR” and it is definitely worth reading if you are thinking about buying your first DSLR camera. I sort of went through this process in December when I decided to splurge on a DSLR after years with Canon point and shoot cameras and my…

  • How Postbox really impressed me today

    My brother mentioned to me that he is trying Postbox out as a possible Mail.app replacement (Mail.app just doesn’t seem to behave for him). I have a couple niggling issues with Mail.app so I thought I’d try Postbox out again and see if it is as good as or better than Mail.app. So far the…
