Moving from Sony A100 to A700 DSLR

Feb 6, 2009 by Paul White

To save anyone the time of reading my blog for the detailed reasons. Let me just say, upgrading from the Sony A100 to the Sony A700, was a good decision.  Lets put it like this.  If these two cameras were guns, I just went from a musket riffle, to an 50 Cal full auto.

Jan 29, 2009 by Paul White

If you have ever run into the problem of buying or selling something on ebay, only to have it not work once it reaches it destination, you know the kind stress this creates.  Basically the Dell Poweredge 1750 Server I had was not booting up, and would flash an orange / amber light on the front, and had no display, and no beeps.  The solution was pretty simple, Reseat everything!

Best DJ in Houston

Jan 18, 2009 by Paul White

I used to think that Houston was filled with nothing but talentless DJs.  But Saturday night I went down to Lastrada for Desirous Party's Gangsta Girl Party.  The crowd was hot, and the music was even hotter.  DJ Eddie Spettro had a pefect mix of top 40, hip hop, and classic dance music that kept the girls dancing til closing time.  It wasn't just the song's he picked, but variation in mix, and play order, along with perfect beat matching, that kept the energy alive.

In this post I go into the details of how its done the right way.

Dec 29, 2008 by Paul White

I was thinking recently about the Adblock plus plugin for the FireFox browser.  Then I came to realize that Microsoft with Internet Explorer could easily destroy google's Number1 revenue generator and bankrupt them if they wanted to.
