31 Days to 3G iPhone – Day 31: A Case, Of Course!
After a year of waiting, tech jealousy, back and forth decisions, surreptitious fondling of floor models, and near theft of friend’s phones, my husband and I are finally taking the plunge and moving over to AT&T when our T-Mobile contract is up on August 31. Despite recent reports of cracks in the plastic, we each plan on getting a white 16GB iPhone 3G. To celebrate our upcoming iPhone Liberation Day, I will be making an iPhone-related post each day. After …

Blurb’s BookSmart is a Bummer
Yesterday I was very excited to try out Blurb’s book layout software, BookSmart. It looked like exactly what I wanted to create a beautiful, high-quality photo book from my wedding pictures. Almost as soon as I found it, I signed up for Blurb and was emailed a download link. I had a lot of trouble downloading it from their site, but I chalked that up to weird bandwidth problems and was eventually able to get it downloaded and installed on …

Making Digital Memories Real with Printable Photo Books
I’ve been married going on a year and a half now, and I have an entire iPhoto library full of the gorgeous pictures my sister took of our wedding and reception. My groom and I have settled into married life, I managed to get the thank you cards out on time, and I’ve made good use of some of our wedding gifts (oh, KitchenAid mixer, I love you), but I still feel guilty that I have not scrapbooked up a …

My Adventures with CHDK – The Installation
I’ve been really excited to see what I can do with my photography and digital video, so I decided that today would be the day I would get the Canon Hacker’s Development Kit working on my already awesome Canon SD750 camera. After my initial research, I discovered that there is finally a beta version of the CHDK for the SD750. It came out last month, so I have perfect timing! Here are just some of the functionality the CHDK adds …

Cameras, CHDK, and me
Back in February, I purchased a Canon SD750 digital camera. I had done extensive research on the various cameras I was interested in, and the SD750 stood out among the pack on pretty much every feature. It was clinched for me after I had the opportunity to use a friend’s SD750, and not long after that I put in my order with NewEgg. That was quite a box–it had my camera, my eeePC, RAM and an SD card! It was …

Windows XP and the eeePC – Fab or Flop?
I love Linux. It’s so customizable, and I love the fact that it’s open-source. But let’s face it–the business community has yet to embrace Linux with open arms. Many of the things I do for work, whether it’s editing or creating a templatized document, or doing a quality check on a web-based training course, require Windows (or at the very least, Microsoft products such as Office). It is frustrating, considering the only place I run Windows is at the office. …

Daily Driver Review: T-Mobile Wing
My beloved (but sometimes also hated) i-mate JAQ3 must have heard through the grapevine that it’s getting replaced with an iPhone, because last week it decided to give up the ghost completely. The poor thing has given me a good year and a half of hard use, so I really can’t blame it for wanting to go toe up. I was bemoaning its loss and trying to figure out what to do in the meantime, since my husband is using …

Woe no more…iCal is back!
When the 10.5.3 update to OS X borked my iCal installation, I tried quite a few things to get my iCal back in working order. When you clicked the dock icon, it would just bounce and never actually open the program. I tried trashing a couple of files according to some directions I found on the Apple discussion boards, but that didn’t work either. So I’ve just been biding my time with Google Calendar in full-screen while waiting for the …
