Looking to put together an ad-based website? I just did using the free version of Noah’s Classifieds. For anyone thinking of purchasing the expensive full-version product, be forewarned. The software comes with very little directions and support for the product is close to non-existant.
I took the free version and spent hours learning the intricacies of it. In the end, I was able to figure out how to implement most of the “paid” features by working with their database structure. Not for the feint of heart.
Two recent videos from the end-of-year school performance. These were taken with my camera, not a camcorder:
Had fun this past weekend taking photos of young man putting his Tefillin on for the first time. In this photo, his mother looks on proudly.
I’m being asked more and more to take baby portraits, and I must admit I jump at the chance. But if am going to continue, I really need to invest in a good backdrop. A white sheet doesn’t do it anymore.
I’m always on the lookout for games I can play wth my middle-school students during our lunchtime Math Games club.
The best are games that can be explained in 30 seconds, can be played in about 15 minutes and involve logic, strategy and a good mind.
I just found another game that fits the bill — Pyros. It’s lots of fun. Look for it. It joins my other favorites: Coda, Blokus and Quarto. Google them.
Today my son turns 17. Yesterday I was going to pick up an iPad for his present, but he said he didn’t want it. He couldn’t see himself using it much.
Mind you, he always can be seen with his iPod Touch, so it didn’t even cross my mind he’d say no.
A bad omen for Apple?
I have the perfect opportunity to test-drive the latest upgrade of Apple’s photo editing software: my collection of photos from my recent trip to Israel.
I would purchase the trial version right now if not for one thing; this version of Aperture requires a very fast and powerful Mac (i.e. one purchased in the past year). As soon as I buy a new Mac, I’ll upgrade from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3.
I have found a new home for my photo collection — zenfolio. I am in the process of moving thousands of photos over to my new zenfolio home
Check it out.
I had the opportunity to borrow an $1800 lens the other day for my Canon DSLR. All I can say is “wow”. What great stuff you can do when you can get that close and have a fast shutter with the available room lighting.
