Visual Boards

Another DIY: Nothing much going on today besides working with some sleepy eyes. During breaks, I made some visual boards with color laser printer to keep little one's eyes busy while he is awake. I figure it's a good way to utilize some of the illustrations I made. [Baby's Vision]

One little happy customer....

DIY Photography

Recently I have been making flash accessories with almost anything I can find; from food containers, plastic sheets, tapes, aluminum foil, card board..etc. Diyphotography.net is a great site for improving indoor photograph without spending much $$$. Powderpuff has been laughing at me for making these wired looking gadgets. Hey.... these might not look great, but the result speaks for itself. Little one, here daddy comes.........

Flash with a plastic take-out container, modified to fit the flash; I can shoot straight at the mirror without much reflection

Here is the magic, flash light are bounced off the ceiling and diffused, and no more shadows behind!!!

My next project:

Flash Photography

Strobist recently published an excellent collection of flash photography from Flickr. These are truly inspiration. Big version here.

向錢看起

或因該說是”向省錢看起”或是”向奶粉錢看起”吧

昨天終於把八年前upgrade 到不能再 upgrade的老掉牙Pentium 罷掉
算是為慶祝自己的人權, 在Martin Luther King Jr. Day買了一台史上最低價位的電腦 ($500). 不可思議的是這個小東東包含的東西還不少, Apple Macbook Air下次再會吧:

• Intel® Core™2 Duo/3GB DDR2 memory/500GB Serial ATA hard drive
• ATI RADEON HD 2400 graphics with 128MB memory
• Built-in TV tuner/Multiformat media reader
• Windows Vista Home Premium preloaded

希望今年能用這台替Little One做些新東西....

Cute Flash Movies

Outdoor Self Portrait

Got to find myself a new way to take my own photos ......

MacBook Air

Finally Apple turns a ultra slim notebook into reality (.76" thick/3 lbs). But not too useful to me. You have to use additional wireless drive nearby to access your DVD/CDs. The concept is cool, but too costly..$1799.

MacBook Air SuperDrive $99

"Out of the box, MacBook Air lets you wirelessly access the DVD or CD drive of a nearby Mac or Windows PC using Remote Disc. But for those times when you need to play or burn discs directly, consider the sleek, USB-based MacBook Air SuperDrive."

Happy New Year
