Yes, I know; usually this phrase is used for your diet–don’t overeat on any one thing and don’t ignore the other things. Our food pyramid (now our ‘dinner plate’) tries to emphasize this point. But the phrase stands true for everything in our [...]
In three words: They Can Breathe! Now, before you go accusing me of any form of prejudice, let me point out a few established facts. Cats with flat faces have breathing problems due to mis-formed nasal passages; a cat with a longer muzzle does not. Dogs with flat faces have breathing problems due to mis-formed [...]
Looking back at my review of the Nikon Coolpix L-20 I have to say I was quite proud of that camera when I first purchased it. Regretfully, that pride of product failed me within six months when it simply stopped working, consistently acting like the batteries were dying even after installing brand-new alkaline cells. To [...]
For a long, long time I’ve been an armchair model railroader. Part of this was due to a lack of space, part due to a perceived lack of time and part due to lack of inspiration; I didn’t know what, who or how to model what I saw in my own mind. Then again, part [...]
http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=27310&tag=trunk;content What users want are devices that are easy to use and that do what they want them to.

I started shooting digital with an Olympus point-and-shoot, migrating through an Olympus C2100uz semi-pro p&s to [...]
… is to tear it down and rebuild it. Ok, that’s not literally true, but it is close. As you are already aware, we had a summertime nor’easter come through late last week and revealed a serious leak in the roof of our living room extension. Speaking with a sub-contractor we know and in tearing [...]
Have you ever wanted to have a tiled ceiling but didn’t want to glue the tiles to drywall where they might fall or where the glue probably stinks so bad it gives you a headache? Do you live in a multi-story house where you have wiring between the floors that’s essentially inaccessible? Does that ceiling [...]
Then again, I’m here, aren’t I? I can’t believe how exhausted I’ve felt these last few weeks, and yesterday gave me a message that fully explains why. For those of you who don’t know, I live somewhere just about the middle of the megalopolis known as the Northeast Corridor. This area received a relatively unusual [...]
Some weeks back, I wrote about a local restaurant I’d seen several times and finally took the chance to visit. I was quite impressed. Enough so that I plan to go back and photograph it to add to that review. I also meant for that to be merely the first in a number of reviews [...]
