May 24, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

If you are wondering why my computer setup looks like and just wondering what it looks like where I write.  I created a video of me showing you around my desk and part of my room.  Yeah I know I don’t speak very good, never did.  But hopefully once a get a new video camera this will be get better because I might get more involved in creating videos.  I hope you like the video.

My Thoughts on DSLR Video

May 19, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

If you are going to buy an expensive DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera to only shoot video, I think it’s stupid.  Sure it’s nice to have a video function finally on a DSLR for those never know moments.  But if you’re going to spend a thousand or even more for a DSLR that has “decent” to only shoot video, I think it’s the waste of the camera.  These cameras were designed to take photos not videos!  A lot of them even have a time limit, and others don’t, you just got to watch out for that.

Auto Focus, hmm, Most DSLRS do offer auto focus on their movie modes, but pretty much all of them whether from Nikon or Canon, they just suck.   You know people tell me, oh you should get this camera cause it better video, I don’t care!  I don’t shoot video, I’m a photographer not a videographer.  Sure, I like to shoot video, But I don’t want to use a DSLR to shoot videos… But i’m going to take the better route in my opinion, I’m going to get a dedicated camcorder.  At least with these cameras you don’t hear the lens move in and out when zooming for focusing.   These camcorders even offer more options than much DSLR cameras do.

Life Log 5/11/2010 Computer Setup

May 11, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

For the last 6 months I been using quad screens, one of the monitors however, was connected to another system which is now having some issues (I got it back up but it’s moved into another room for now).  The other two were connected to my system which are a 22inch and a 17inch.  The only problem was that I truly didn’t use the other two monitors that much.  The other system I had setup was just basically for sharing some files and testing out some software and what not and that was rarely.  The second monitor on my system was just basically for my twitter client and maybe once in a while having two browsers but again that was very rarely.  

The other thing I forget to mention was that they were different size and since I have a Dell Ultrasharp 22inch which is height adjustable and having a 17inch next to it looked pretty odd so I had to lower my monitor down so it was kind of level with the 17inch and I like my monitors being at eye level.

Life Log 4/29/2010 – Tech Support at its Finest

April 29, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

Oh boy, what a day.

I woke up to my bladder like ready to explode and was pretty tired and been tired like all day.  I don’t think I got a really good night sleep and I think this weather has been putting a toll on everyone, I mean it’s spring, almost in May which is when the weather starts getting warmer like in the 70’s and up and that hasn’t been the case for the last few days.  Snowed for a couple days this week with like almost 10 inches where I live but today most of all of it has melted. 

Tomorrow will be a good change up, it’s going to be sunny and warm like around 70 degrees.  Which will be nice and get out of this stupid winter flashback. 

I haven’t felt the greatest today, just been feeling so washed out, I need to get game back on and start working out again, I hope to do this tomorrow.  I also hope to order my Fender amp and Mogami cable tomorrow as well, just hoping I have enough money because it’s going to be close, if I don’t have enough money I am just going to have to wait.

What Podcast’s Do I listen To?

April 2, 2010 |  by Nick  |  No Comments  | 

Do you listen to podcasts? I sure do.  Podcasts are basically just audio versions of a blog, there are some that are personal that talk about their day, like a journal or a diary, but a online version, there are some called vlogs which is a video blog. Most podcasts are discussions with other people, maybe it’s about tech news, maybe it’s screen casts, like free episodes of how to use Photoshop, there are lots of podcasts that are technology related, social media, pop culture, even history, there is one for everyone.  You can learn a lot from these podcasts as well, like I have.  So I decided to share the ones that I listen to all the time.
