I think I get it

I started the Flickr account, just because I really didn't understand some of the concepts of Web 2.0. I just really didn't understand why I should care or why anyone else should care. But now I think I kind of understand it.

I check my flickr account every day now, hoping I get more views on my pics. And then getting excited about what's getting views. It makes no sense. I have no idea who's looking at these pictures, or why, but I am giddy that someone is. Hell, two of my pictures are having a race as to who has the most views. It's almost like a competition in which no one else is playing (right now, since I'm not currently following anyone else.)

So I guess that's how I "get it."

So I got my new camera tonight, and I've played with it for the past few hours.

The thing is fucking TEENY. All the reviews said it was small, but jesus, this is smaller than I expected. It's like smaller than a deck of cards.

So far, it seems to take some pretty nice photos. I'll have to take more in the sunlight, because the lighting in here is crap though.

Initial verdict is: I like!

Pictures

Geotagging is one of the coolest and creepiest features to come out of the digital age in regards to photography. You put in the data where it was you took the picture (latitude and longitude) and when you upload it to a site like Flickr, you can see it on a map. Which is really cool when you want to see pictures of home and you just zoom into Midland on the map and see some great photos. But it's really creepy when you see some kid's birthday. You can restrict who sees that information for a reason you know.

I just bought a new camera, and I think I'm going to start taking more pictures, and trying to just get more into photography in general. It's something I've always liked, but never really got that into. But my new camera is pretty small, and fits into my pocket so I should be able to take it anywhere and just snap pictures when I feel the need.

I put a thing to my flickr pool over on the right there, but all it has so far are pictures from bars taken by my crappy camera phone. It almost makes me miss my old phone. My K790a took absolutely great pictures and had a flash. Take that iPhone. Oh well.

So yeah. Hopefully expect more photo stuff from me.

I think I'm balding

Someone please tell me I'm wrong.

My desk!

This is what's on my desk right now. Man I'm bored, waiting on stuff.

New job!

Well as many of you know, I just started working at Digital Domain.

It's only my second day though, and I haven't done much. In fact I'm updating while at work waiting for my first meeting.

Alright gonna go. Bye.
