Went with the Black and White HDR on this Historic Park shot – figured it worked better with age . A little tidbit about Hopewell Furnace… Hopewell Furnace showcases an early American industrial landscape from natural resource extraction to enlightened conservation. Operating from 1771-1883, Hopewell and other “iron plantations” laid the foundation for the transformation [...]
Just playing around with the off focus on the Sony DSC-HX100V. I loved the flowers at this place. There were beautiful lily’s everywhere!
First time I finally found bracket mode (didn’t realize it was restricted to certain functions). Also the first time I played with the Photomatix software.
I liked this old sundial on the island. It gave me a chance to play with the focus functions of the HX-100V.
This was my first attempt with the Sony to capture fireworks. I didn’t know the height, so as you can tell, I kinda missed it. I also wasn’t a fan of the built-in fireworks mode, so this is a 7.0 second shutter. I think it turned out much better than the built-in 1.5 second shutter.
Overlooking Lake George near Lake George, NY. It was a little pull off on the way to the cabin. I did my best not to sideswipe the bikers as I quickly pulled in with our swagger wagon.
In Stone Harbor, NJ there’s a piece of beach called ‘the point’. It’s the last stretch of land before water separates the Avalon/Stone Harbor island and the Wildwood area. This was taken back there near sunset overlooking some larger tide pools. It was my first day with the Sony HX100-V camera, so I was rushing [...]

IMAPSize, a free windows app, provides for simple backup of your email, such as Gmail, via IMAP. It saves every email as a .eml file and even does incremental backups. The only possible downside is that it is not automated, so you have to remember to run it every now and then.

WiFi Security – Sniff Out User Credentials at Wi-Fi Hotspots with Firesheep -http://bit.ly/bgyp8h
Sniff Out User Credentials at Wi-Fi Hotspots with Firesheep
Firesheep is a proof-of-concept Firefox extension created by Eric Butler
to show how leaky the security many popular web sites (like Facebook,
Flickr, Amazon.com, Dropbox, Evernote, and more) employ is. The problem,
as Firesheep shockingly demonstrates, is that many web sites only
encrypt your login. Once you are logged in they use an unsecured connect
with a simple cookie check. Anyone from your IP address (that of the
Wi-Fi hotspot) with that cookie can be you. When using Firesheep on a
public hot spot any session it can intercept is displayed in the
Firesheep pane with the user’s name and photograph (when available).
Simply click on their name to intercept the session and start browsing
the website as though you are them.

Another interesting note is that there appears to be more content available and ready at launch time. Folks at a brick conference got a chance to demo Lego Universe and it included worlds that were not available to the beta testers. We can only hope that the extra content was not just some future release, and that we’ll be able to explore even more of the universe. So, hopefully that pre-buy money may indeed have been well spent, if you were concerned over lack of content.
