From Digital Photography School:
Digital Cameras seem to be one of the gifts of choice this year for Christmas if the questions in my inbox are anything to go by.
As so many new camera owners are starting out with photography in the new year I thought I’d compile a list of photography tips and techniques that new camera owners might like to work through in the coming weeks.
Some are very basic while others go a little deeper – but all have been selected from our archives specifically for beginners and new camera owners. Enjoy.
I’m not sure if this is official (I think it must be), but there is a site where you can enter some information and have a customized video made about your upcoming trip to a Disney Park.
The video is done as if it is a news broadcast. A woman is on site announcing that for the entire year the theme park will be dedicated to one person. The video is a couple of minutes long, and there are clips of various things that have the name of a person that you have entered. It is very well done. It’s hard to explain, but if you give it a try, you’ll certainly find it to be entertaining.
LIVEdigitally had a posting about words that we used to know, but that the Internet has made obsolete:
I’m noticing that a few very common words are losing their meaning, specifically due to their various implementations online (warning: much sarcasm and cynical writing follows, don’t take it too seriously if you are easily offended)…
PCWorld.ca had an article about how to do things faster on your computer:
22 smarter, more efficient ways to make short work of common tech tasks–from reinstalling Windows to crushing spyware to setting up a Web site.
security4web has a nice list of suggestions to protect your child online (follow the link to read the entire 19-point list):
- Be aware of cyberspace threats! Learn about all risks children may face while surfing on the Internet and start educating them on how to protect themselves online.
- Talk to your children about dangers they can encounter as long as they are online. Do not be reluctant to subjects such as sexuality, pornography or pedophiles. Do not consider them taboo.
- Make sure your children know that not everything they read on the Internet is true and accurate.
I heard about YouGetSignal.com from Chris…
The best way to learn about the tools is to visit the site and try them. The reason why we came across the site is that we were trying to determine what sites were on a web server (to determine how loaded or overloaded the server is). The tool is the “Reverse IP Domain Check”. For instance, I did a search on my PCIN.net domain, and found that the IP address of my server (66.98.222.18) has 177 different sites hosted (seems excessive to me!).
I previously posted about e Boo Boos. Now Download Squad has posted about TypoBuddy:
TypoBuddy, like previously reviewed TypoTracker, helps you find deals by searching for misspelled variations of the items you search for. Why?
Because most people that search for a particular item will try to spell it right – meaning that listings with typos might go unnoticed, and you’ll wind up getting a sweet deal just because some seller was careless enough to not check his or her typing.
