Website may go down…

Date April 17, 2010 | Published by Chris |

The website (particularly this blog) may go down tonight at about 3:00AM PDT for mysql security password change that will be done by my host, Media Temple. I am not desiring to stay up to make sure the site is up at 3 in the morning so the only way I will know is by next morning tomorrow. I did update my password so that my hosting companies mysql security password update does not affect my domain, however, they are stating that it is possible that this may still happen.

If it does happen, the site will come back up so please do not worry. More news soon.

Thoughts about HDR photography

Date April 9, 2010 | Published by Kjell-Roger |

Some embrace it, some say it looks fake and for non-photographers most don’t even know what it is, but they’ve seen it and probably stopped to look twice. In this post I would like to talk about my thoughts on HDR photography and how I use them in proffesional work.

Days with my Grandmother

Date March 29, 2010 | Published by Chris |

So I opened up the working file for “Hana” last night. The design and concept has significantly matured from my first version of the e-book and I am trying to work on it as much as I can outside of client projects. I decided to see if there was any art work or websites that constituted something along the lines of death and dedication to someone who died. I always want to see if other people out there try to do what I do which lead me to a website called “Days with my Father”.

This is an excellent website that moved me, made me tingle and inspired all at once. I found myself holding back a tear or two while reading and looking at such beautiful composition of text and photography. One of the best and inspirational sites I have found in a while. Check it out here:

The Hana book was promised in Q1 of 2010 I know, but as usual, I want to release nothing but the best so I am going to take a bit more time on it. This is the final chapter of my prolonged communication subject about death and my days with my grandmother who has practically raised me since birth. I appreciate your patience.

Facebook to possibly add real time location

Date March 14, 2010 | Published by Chris |

Reference link (courtesy of CNN):

Facebook to add real time location features?

In my opinion, what a horrible idea. Although people have voiced out that they don’t want psychotic ex-bf’s/gf’s to know where they frequently visit, sit and use their laptop’s on wi-fi or even know where they currently live, I think the biggest issue is the fact that travelers using facebook will publish the idea that they are not home and that their apartment or homes can be robbed.

No Mr. Zuckerberg, don’t do it. It’s too risky.

Holy cow!

Date March 11, 2010 | Published by Chris |

I apologize sincerely for the lack of updates coming into the new year. I have been busy with a lot of client side projects and it has been a hectic year so far. A year ago today I already busted out 2 wallpapers and I again apologize that it’s not like that this year. As you can tell, a lot of my time spent has been on my new portfolio site (which the motion graphics section isn’t complete yet) and a new content tutorials here and there but it’s just not ready to get published yet.

So to be fair, I want to expose the laundry list of stuff that I am planning to do this year:

- Get the motion graphics section running. I know this isn’t your typical cup of tea you want from my site but it needs to be done
- Collaborative wallpaper with Kjell-Roger Ringstad
- 2 wallpapers are on the works here and there
- Version 15.3.5. There are certain things on this site I am not really keen with in terms of design and content.
- Tutorials, both written and video
- “Hana” book. I know I promised Q1 of 2010. I am going to try my best to do this, although April is likely. And April is already Q2 2010…

So again, sincere apologies. I promise to deliver some of the list I mentioned above within this year.
