Google Talk

One of the coolest new google toys available. If you have a GMail account, you should sign up for this new instant messenger type program. I've used it already, and it is really slick. If you don't have a GMail account, and would like one, contact me, and I will send you an invite.

My first share.

Digital Cameras.....when it comes to getting a good picture that looks good printed, no matter what the size........remember one thing........BIGGER is BETTER. When I say bigger, I don't mean the actual size of the camera, I'm talking megapixels. More is always better. If someone says that you can print good 4x6 pictures with 2.0 megapixels, don't believe it. I've found that for lab quality photos, 4 megapixels is the minimum size that you should use.

With 5, 6, 7, and even 8 megapixels being available in compact cameras, a 4 megapixel camera can be realtively cheap. There are TONS of sites to look for a good deal. Your first place should be http://froogle.google.com/.

Also, do your homework. Check out different manufacturers, and the many different varieties of camera. There are many different sites that offer independent reviews of cameras. I've listed some below.

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/

http://www.dcviews.com/cameras.htm

http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/cameraList.php

This is a far from a complete list. Do a google search for camera reviews, or a specific camera, and you will find lots of different reviewers.

If anyone has any questions about specific cameras, please let me know. I'll be happy to help.

Technical Knowledge Transfer

So this is a first attempt at sharing some of my technical knowledge. I'm not sure how this will work, and what form this will take, but my hope is that I will be able to provide some level of technical support for people who need it.

I am not an expert in any specific area. I am not Cisco Certified (although I am working on that) nor do I have any Windows Certifications.

I just have a general interest in all things technical, and like to share this knowledge with people who want to know more.

If there is anything specific you are looking for, please let me know. I will do my best to answer your questions.

Thanks for checking out my blog, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
