Help Hurricane Victims

I’ve pulled together resources from my family, friends and business associates and earlier today made a donation of $8,520 to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Our combined, collective goal is $10,000 or $15,000 by week’s end.
Help is desperately needed! Even the smallest amount of money can help. Please do […]

Getting Blown (Around, That Is!)

As Katrina prepares to hit Fort Lauderdale head on, I left my office, backed up our servers, plastic-bagged essential equipment, and watched as our corporate offices shut down and were locked.

For the longest time, ATI has released different cards for each platform, with the Mac side generally getting the shorter end of the stick; ATI’s Mac products were always more expensive. According to the company, this […]

Officially English?

According to a poll conducted by CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight, 100% of the 5,288 respondents said Congress should make English the official language of the United States. I couldn’t agree more.

English is a product of our culture, our history and our heritage. The linguistic foundations of this country are gradually being eroded, and in many […]

Canon EOS 5D: The 13Mp Beauty

Somehow or another this managed to fly far below my radar. When I stumbled across this tonight (thanks, Tim!), all I can say is wow.

With 13 megapixels, full-frame sensor, a 2.5″ LCD, and an attractive price point, the Canon EOS 5D is the camera of my dreams. Not that I don’t already have a full […]
