Darren Rowse wrote in his Digital Photography School blog about choosing the right ISO for one’s digital photography. He makes advice that I would agree with, especially with what I’m going to say:
The only cost of increasing ISO is that as you do it you’ll notice that the ‘noise’ or ‘grain’ in your shots [...]

A few years ago, under another alias, I wrote a story about an Earth from the future. I published the timeline as well, including various references to both Microsoft and Apple. As the timeline progressed to the time of that novel, I wrote that there were people who thought that the Mac was a god, [...]

While the rest of the Blogosphere is on its 3rd day into iPhone iMania iRedux, I’d like to take a little time to take a look at that oh so interesting TypePad app…the one I got PO’ed about during WWDC. I didn’t get a chance to actually use the App, because contrary to what I [...]

Last Sunday, I decided to join Talkshoe. I went and joined the first voice/chat thing that I saw that I liked, which happened to be The Unofficial Apple Weblog’s Live podcast. From the moment I activated the online chat (Not sure whether it’s Java or Flash) I couldn’t hear a thing. The sound kept saying [...]

Today marks the one year anniversary of jtdabbagian.com, but more then that, it also marked a year since I received my Bachelor’s degree. I guess it’s sort of an honor that the WWDC was held today, and that the iPhone 2 came out on this blog’s birthday, but I really don’t want to talk about [...]

The WWDC Keynote has been over for a few hours now. I stayed in the TUAW chat room until about 11:00 PST, then I took off to do some laundry. I apologize to anyone who wanted me while I was gone.
As expected, iGod Steve Jobs presented on various things, ranging from the various new apps [...]

As I write this, I’m sitting in TUAW’s chat room where the topic is on Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference, but considering that the room currently has 1000+ people in it, and the mode is set to +m (Meaning only certain people can chat,) I’m not having a real good time. Incidentally, I might add that [...]
