Using a Digital SLR Camera ...
Using a Digital SLR Camera is A LOT harder than it seems. At first, I thought there would be an easy transition from the point and shoot world over to the dSLR world, but boy was I wrong.

URL: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jUtSYQ-ZvwBelow are some pictures of the little fry swimming about. I’ve spotted 3 fry, but there could be more. The little guys are so tiny, probably half the...

via lifehacker.com Great little project for adding some depth and character to an aquarium. I go the easy route and either spray paint some type of textured paint on the back or just get a black/dark blue piece of paper. To each their own. On a separate note, I find it *interesting* that since setting up a 20g long aquarium with Neolamprologus multifasciatus shell dwellers (aka multies),...

The Escapist : Aggro Management →
A couple of months back a coworker of mine and I encountered a similar thing. We met a couple of guys talking about WoW in the cafeteria, but when we inquired on their faction and realm, they said they were playing Alliance on a PvE server.With both of us playing Horde on a PvP server, we instantly stopped talking to them.

Wow, exactly what I was looking for. Just a couple of days ago, I was thinking it would be cool to find an application that could convert a video file to DVD. Well, that request has been answered.
