Worth linking to; sixmegapixels explains why having a more than six megapixels on a compact digital camera is not just a bad idea, they actually produce lower quality (as in more digital noise lower quality) photos . (Via Daring Fireball.)

I do spray a few random thoughts now and again over at twitter … twitter.com/blanco
I f**king hate flash video! Ahhhh!
Rant over thank you for listening.
Well, it’s another year and I’m back in Anaheim for another NAMM show. For some reason, this year I have not acclimated to the time zone as fast as I normally do. It’s more that 24 hours after I’ve landed and I’m very tired with a full schedule ahead of me. Looking forward to Dramagods at House of Blues on Friday night, I’m not sure what other shows are planned. I’ll report more as the show gets closer.
The Usanity weblog points out that Microsoft released the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components for Quicktime for free. This will mark the end of the horrible Windows Media Player for Many OS X users. Now you may play .wmv and .asf files directly with the QuickTime Player. Hallelujah!
Wordpress 2.0 is out! Let’s see, I needed to manually install PHP Markdown which used to be a default plug-in and also an upgraded version of wp-contact form. But other than that everything else just worked.
I just haven’t been in the mood to write as of late. I got an email from a reader asking when I’m going to start writing again, so I figured I might as well address it online. I did have urges to post a few times. Especially when Apple announced the Intel thing (WOW) then a bit later introduced a multi-button mouse! And of course their most recent got-to-get-one toy: the iPod nano.
New projects include learningRuby on Rails for web development (I think my PHP days are close to over now). And using Textpattern (which finally was released out of beta at version 4.0 no-less) for times when you don’t need to re-invent the CMS wheel.
The next big push at work is a total rewrite of the Samson website. Hopefully we can get it done with rails.
I think I’m done with mountain biking, I want to start riding on the road. That would involve a significant expenditure on a road bike, so I’ll probably put that off ‘till the spring.
Please use the contact form to let me know if you have any preferences of what you’d like to see me wrote more about.
