Hidden costs of Light bulbs

Feb 15, 2009 by Paul White

Recently I switched out every Standard Light bulb in my house with the newer compact flourescents, that use 75% less energy.  But I realized something as I was switching out the bulbs.  Which makes changing over to energy efficient ones even more practical.

Temptation Lounge Houston Nightclub

Feb 14, 2009 by Paul White

Temptation Lounge is a brand new nightclub for Houston lifestyle couples ( AKA swingers ).  I did the website for them, and last night I went in to take some shots of the club before it opened.  Lots of Lounge seating, 2 large bars. Big dance floor, private rooms where I am sure some very naughty activities will happen.  Grand opening is Saturday night ( 14th valentines day ). Check out the photos

Should I upgrade my light bulbs to LED

Feb 13, 2009 by Paul White

I recently asked myself this question.  Should I replace all or some of the incandescent bulbs in my house with the newer Flourscent ones? Or should I spend the big bucks and replace them with LED bulbs?  I did a little research to determine the cost savings of each.  Some would think the savings aren't that great, but the truth is they are alot bigger than you think. 

The good and bad of e-health records

Obama has managed to work his dream of computerized health records into the stimulus package.  Some people think this is very bad, others are thrilled.  For those of you who understand the implications, this might shed some light on the issue.

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. I know its hard to believe the A700 is that much better than the A100, but it is.  Read more for the details

How your name can be your worst enemy

Feb 4, 2009 by Paul White

When I first started up whitesites, I was looking for a name that would be easy to remember, and that went along with what I did. So I took  my last name along with what I build to get whitesites.  But its funny what some people think of when you tell them your company name is whitesites.

SAS RAID 0 VS SCSI RAID 0 VS SATA Benchmarks

Jan 30, 2009 by Paul White

Now that the server world is heavily adopting SATA drives and SAS drives for those who want extra performance,  there are a lot of people wondering how this technology compares to the old IDE and SCSI drives.  Time for some performance benchmarks to put this question to rest. 

Dell Poweredge Server won't boot after Shipping

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.

Points of focus when planning out a website.

Jan 16, 2009 by Paul White

One thing I have observe recently has been how the most successful websitse got their start.  How they grew, and how they maintained growth.  It wasn't from black hat SEO campaigns, and it wasn't from some huge media push.  It was a result of quality content and a slow expansion over time.  There is a way to do it, and a way to not. In this post I go into the details of how its done the right way.
