Daily Entry

I just saw a MSNBC video about a new startup that has a photography technology that could revolution the camera the way digital cameras changed photography less than 20 years ago! Lytro's technology (which will come out on a retail digital camera in the near future) allows a user to change the focus on the picture after the image has been taken. One obvious advantage is that a photo with a blurry image can potentially be fixed. For any photographer this is amazing. For a professional photographer this could be a life saver! You can check out their website here

Here are some samples Lytro's living pictures. You can see more on Lytro's photo gallery on their website.

I finished a senior photoshoot last Sunday. As usual my senior also brought along some friends for the shoot. Here's a few quick edited photos. I'm working on spicing up the other photos with some vibrant colors and some washed out backgrounds. I'll post them up in a day or so.

Daily Entry








I went to Metcalf Shooting range with a couple friends last Sunday. I couldn't upload the files because I left them on my work laptop yesterday. So I'm posting them today. What was really cool is that I was finally able to fire my Smith & Wesson MP-15 .22LR rifle since I purchased it last summer. Although Jason, Sandy or I couldn't hit the paper target at 25 yards initially, I finally figured out that the red-dot after market sight I had added to the rifle was not sighted. So I took it out and replaced it with the original iron sights that came with the rifle. After that we all hit the target pretty much in the center. Both Jason and Sandy said they had a good time. It must be true since we spent over 3 hours shooting on sunday. 8)

P.S. I'm posting photos of Jason and Sandy but none of me since I was taking the photos and also instructing the two on how to shoot safely. Hopefully the next time we go, I can get someone to take photos of my awesome shooting skills. lol

Daily Entry

I'm taking advantage of all the extra activities at work (free gym, guest speakers, sports activities) especially Toastmasters! I attended a Toastmaster session in Milpitas last December. So it piqued my curiosity what it would be like at one of the 2 Toastmaster clubs at work. My first impression is majority of the attendees are already good at public speaking. I'm a little intimidated but I do plan on going back next week. In the meantime, I did meet a nice chap named Joel who was offered some friendly information about this particular club. In fact, I also made the acquittance of two other people once during a break and the other at the gym on my campus. For the record, Rachel is the name of the girl I met on my break and Ashley is the girl whom I had a discussion about my B&N Nook at the gym.

Although its only the middle of third week, I am already starting to feel like a regular at work. When things are more settled, I'll start posting photos or videos from work.

Cheers,
jp

New Feature

So part of what I do every day is reviewing business websites. I've noticed in the last few weeks, I've found very interesting and useful websites. This is in regards to my personal taste as well as useful to anybody. With that being said, I have decided to post these websites every day. Some are techie, some practical and most just downright cool. Let me know what you think.
