Possibly, A Photography Blog?

I am thinking of starting a photography blog. I do a lot of traveling, to both near and far places and always have my camera with me. Well at least my iPhone 4 which has a pretty awesome camera. This idea is still in the planning stage. I am wondering about how to construct my blog page and how do I get my pictures up there.

The best way, probably, is to

My iPad 2 buying experience

Yes it's March 11, 2011! But before this iPad 2 launch day arrived we were all hit by the shocking news about the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan which triggered Tsunamis and warnings in 20 different countries worldwide. A couple of the harbors here in California were affected from the wave of destruction that originated a whole Pacific Ocean across. It's been a day full of mixed emotions and the loss of life in Japan is a terrible thing. Unfortunately this day will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

The earthquake made the launch of the iPad 2 a little subdued for me but I was still excited to get mine.

iPad 2: A Competition Killer!

Apple has just finished unveiling the iPad 2 this morning at an event in San Francisco where, despite being on medical leave, Steve Jobs made a surprising appearance and introduced the device. It was good to see Steve looking good and healthy. I think he is absolutely crucial to sustaining Apple's wow factor.

Motorola Xoom: First Impressions

An initial BestBuy SKU listing for the Motorola Xoom shocked me because the new tablet was reportedly going to sell for $1099. Then there were reports suggesting that wasn't going to be the final price of the item and Motorola themselves came out and announced that the 3G version (upgradeable to 4G/LTE) of the tablet would be priced at $799. Now that price looks a lot better compared to four digits but is still a little steep. Especially with a whole bunch of other competing tablets on the way. 

Setting Up the Roku XDS

I just found out that Amazon is offering free videos on-demand for their prime members. "Unlimited, commercial-free, streaming of over 5,000 movies and TV shows", the website promises. The reason why I mention this is because I bought the Roku XDS player from Amazon yesterday and one of the free channels on it is Amazon Video On-demand. So that, along with Netflix and many other video streaming services, makes the Roku box a good buy.

My Roku XDS Digital Video Player has arrived!

I finally decided to buy the Roku XD|S Video Player. I had initially contemplated buying a lower model (Roku XD) but decided to get the XD|S instead because the USB port may open up more possibilities in the near future. I've also learned that MLB has a channel on there which would allow me to watch baseball on my TV. With baseball season just around the corner, it seemed like the right time to buy it.

A Non-iOS Tablet Dilemma

If you've been catching up on the latest tech news over the last few weeks you would have noticed the rapid increase in tablet talk around the web. Numerous companies have introduced their tablets and each one promises features unique in some way. Truth be told, the tablet market has been dominated by the iPad for over a year now and it's about time something other than an Apple device stepped up to the plate.

I've had the iPad since it was launched in 2009 and
