» Taking pics vs. experiencing

Although I sometimes set out for the sole purpose of taking pictures, often I am taking pictures because I am doing something/going somewhere interesting. So it's about documenting the experience and having something to show others about it - although I try to find interesting, original shots of things like famous landmarks, etc. Sometimes, though, I realize that I get so obsessed with trying to get a great photo, that I don't really experience the place or event. One good example was a whale watching trip. For a while I was just pointing the camera at the water, hoping to catch a perfect shot of an emerging whale. After about the 3rd time I failed to SEE a perfect view of an emerging whale b/c I had the camera pointed elsewhere, I decide...... - 2008-11-19

Ok, not sure if this is a bug or not... Or if something got messed up when we imported our UBB info.

» Difference Between Canon 350D and 30D??

Hello As some of you will know I am considering selling my Canon 350D and upgrading to the new Canon 30D which I like but the only difference I can see personally is the additional 0.2Million Mega Pixels (8.2) and the additional 2fps (5fps). In functions anyway. The look with larger LCD screen and buttons differently etc. Any knowledge would be greatly recieved...Erm.... well, there's lots of stuff different. The significance of the difference depends really. For me, the sheer size factor mattered a lot - I couldn't hold the 350 steady. The build quality is definitely better, it feels more sturdy. The rest is all technical really: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=canon_eos350d%2Ccanon_eos30d...... - 2008-11-19

» drupal theme issues

I'm in the middle of the integrating Drupal 5.7 and extjs 2.0 and face some issues with the default theme ( garland ) of Drupal. The issues are, as far as I understand the issue correctly, strictly related to css and probably caused by namespace conflicts. A symptom of the problem is the exjts grid combined with the garland theme, it's messed up. A workaround is using the old blue marine or old pushbutton theme instead of the garland theme. However most themes you will find online are not based on the blue marine or pushbutton theme. All practical ideas and suggestions on how to resolve the css issues of combining a theme of Drupal and Extjs are welcome. I am also interested in available themes that I can use as example code.Turns out ...... - 2008-11-19

» Will there ever be a PA to doctor program? What are the chances?

i really hope so, because right now im faced with deciding wether or not to pursue M.D. or P.A. i think im going to do the straight shot for M.D. to save the money in respect to finishing med school later.Probably not until med schools lack applicants.There is one in the Carribean (only one). Otherwise, I don't see that ever happening. If they let in one group, they'd have to let in others, and then you'd have docs with all kinds of training.Until there is some standardization of the educational process for the PA it would be difficult for this to become a blanket PA to MD. Currently, in the US, a PA might be a graduate of an associate degree program, a certificate program, a bachelors degree program or a masters degree prog...... - 2008-11-19

Hi all. A quick question: whom can you recommend for online prints? I'm looking for a service that has good 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 printing, with a sensible and intuitive interface. In the same vein, can you recommend a good photo book service? Upload several pictures, and possibly some basic page layout stuff. We're in the US, that probably matters for some businesses. I've heard of others who print in China or India, and then send out the resulting prints after shipping them back in bulk to the US. Either is fine.Mpix.com is a very good place to get online prints. They're very quick and affordable. They also have page layout software and will make portfolios if that's what you're looking for as well. I think you can get everything yo...... - 2008-11-19
