Tech It Like A Man!

One of my life passions is taking pictures. I take a lot of them, and many never make the cut into my Flickr account. I am only using an ordinary digital camera to take the pictures, too. It makes me wish I could get into a school like Brooks Institute of Photography so I can get into all the types of digital, visual, and media art there are.

Digital art is a big deal to me. I even use a free rendering program call Apophysis to make interesting fractal art. I don’t even really know all the logistics behind making the art, but I know it’s mathematically based on triangles. I move them around till I get the look I want and VOILA art. Here is an example of the digital art that I have on my files right now:

Nice, no? I did manipulate the image a bit with Fireworks, but only to replicate the image I already rendered. Maybe one day I will be able to study it all and totally understand it.

This is the reason I don’t buy popular technology when it is popular. There are always bugs. There are always sales. There are always upgrades. The iPhone is no exception. It just dropped by $200 in sale price. I know there are a bunch of terribly angry people fuming at how they got gypped. It is quite a drop. It’s almost too good to be true. I know a few of my tech friends who believe as I do about new technology and are now jumping with glee that they were right to wait.

Last night I watched n atomic bomb go off. I don’t know how many survivors are left, but those that do survive are going to be affected for a long time to come. PayPerPost has just begun it’s phase out of all non-quality blogs in preparation for the fabled money making monster named Argus. Their terms of service have been changed in order to govern the ENTIRE blog of each and every member. They are taking away the right for a blogger to control how they post and what they post in their blog. Read for yourself and see if you agree:

I know I said before how I didn’t get Twitter. How can it be so danged popular? Well with this TwitterFox extension for Firefox, and having it hooked up through my AIM account, I can see why. FINALLY the bug has bitten me and I am trying to STOP myself from tweeting all day. Thanks a lot Darren. It’s all his fault. He gave me the link to the Firefox extension this morning, right after I got my things hooked through AIM. Well, here I am, tweeting along. If you have a Twitter account and Firefox, check out the extension. Get your head in the tweet zone!
