- Last week I went for a long ride, from my home in Danville, CA to my brother's home in Pittsburg, CA - it's about 25 miles as the crow flies, but I took the undulating route on the back streets, roads and trails, over a number of hills - a tough long ride. I had my GoPro Helmet Hero Wide with me- a great little 5 megapixel point-of-view camera with an ultra-wide lens and a mix of attachments - ...

- As some of you know, I have a sordid history with Apple products. It's a complicated co-dependent relationship, and just when I think I'm in the clear, I get pulled back in. Now, a lot of good has come from me and Mac, like six books. However, there is a dark side. And a dark side. And a dark side.Okay, so a couple of days after I wiped out my website, I deleted several days of work ...

- This is actually from some months ago. I participated in an online column called "Talk Show" where four writers all answer the same question on the lighthearted side of things. In this case, the question was to name something you think is overrated. What would you have ...

- So, I normally think of myself as pretty (okay, very) old-fashioned. I was the last person on earth, I’m convinced, to have gotten an answering machine, and about the last to get a cell phone. (Or maybe I’m just more antisocial than old-fashioned). Nine times out of ten I’ll chose a book with pages and a cover over an e-book; an independent bookstore with a coffee shop and resident cat over ...

- People often ask me what type of gear I use - whether in the field or at my desk. Today, with digital dominating the photo industry, I'm often asked how I back up or store the hundreds of thousands of photos I've acquired and store in my image collection. Besides backing up a number of images on gold archival DVDs, I currently have seven Lacie hard drives - a 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, two 500GB, 250GB ...

- Meet the owner of a brand, spanking new iMac computer.Took a good deal of time to work up the nerve to upgrade from my old, old, OLD Mac but, I have to say, I'm stunned by what this new beauty can do. This is all part of the process of addressing some of that sense of stagnation I reported feeling in a previous entry. Like I'm spinning my tires, artistically speaking. I want to try making ...

- On Monday, February 23rd, had the pleasure of being on The View From the Bay - a wonderful afternoon San Francisco Bay Area show on KGO-TV Channel 7, hosted by Spencer Christian and Janelle Wang. We did a five-minute segment on taking family photos like a pro - it went very well and was a blast to do! We talked about taking great photos with any camera, and I showed 10 slides on how to easily ...

- I did not start my day with the thought that I would wind up in a long sprint to the finish, nor did I even dream of a 2000+ victory lap. As I prepare to make it an early, tired night, however, I can reflect proudly on having accomplished just that. My first taste of satisfaction came at about 0630 when I filled the last page of the second paper notebook. I'm writing this one in longhand for ...
