Romania: General Information - Language. Always good when traveling abroad to have at least a few words in the local language, it generally makes things work smoother. On a different note, I never did try the creier pane, though I did have a bear fillet (and chicken and goose livers...)     #>


Red Bull Rampage 2008 Highlights. Every crash made me cringe...     #>


VT100 driver in JavaScript. Not for everyone but I think it's kind of neat.     #>


SMBmeta Specification Version 0.9. I'd get behind this, it's a proposal to get some standard data in a standard format onto the web. Can you imagine being able to just Google for the opening hours of a local restaurant without having to figure out what their website was, or have to dig through their entire site to get their phone number?     #>


Strap Pod. Not really anything you can't make yourself (and not a new idea) but I do like their mounting plate to make it easy to use/remove.     #>


9 Must-Have OpenOffice Extensions. I like #1 and #2, I could really use a PDF editor and having more form options is usually good. The rest I'm not so dazzled with, but that's just me.     #>


Yet another DIY mini soft box - but this one looks pretty good! I think it looks great, and I love that it folds flat (easy transport).     #>


Gear Review -- Light and Motion Seca 700 Race. Sounds awesome till you get to the price: $550. Of course if you do 24-hour races as a solo this is just another piece of gear to pick up...     #>


Stock Photography - What is Selling? In case you needed to tune your output to what people want to buy.     #>


Network Upgrade for Kubuntu Desktops, because Ubuntu 8.10 is coming (in October, that's how it's shown, the 8 means "in year 2008" and the .10 means "in the 10th month, October").     #>


Lighting up the night. I'm a big fan of night photography and these pictures are great.     #>


Quick Tip: An ID Tag for Your Camera. Dog-tag your camera...     #>


The 20-mile, 2600-channel radio camera trigger. That's pretty clever. I can't think of ever needing to trigger from that far away but if I did I'd be down with buying one of his gadgets (assuming they don't cost as much as a PocketWizard of course...)     #>


Comcast Rolls out DOCSIS 3.0, Offers 50 Mbps to Premium Subscribers and yet they are keeping the 250gb cap: Comcast Speeds Up--But Keeps Download Cap in Place. Genius idea on their part huh.     #>


Hah, I spent more time in my youth playing Karateka on an Apple IIc than I care to remember. Even better when watching the video was I recognized it was filmed in Denver (Kitty's South and the Irish Rover were dead give-aways.)
