The photo in today&#8217;s blog is one of the common cold virus.  Talk about change, these critter must hold some kind of Olympic record for the speed of their reproduction. Multiply and Conquer!
And they&#8217;re very successful at it too! Stats indicate that most adults in North America are invaded by one of this family of [...]]]></description>

One of the more welcome changes for me in 2009 is improved energy and stamina. A few weeks ago I landed in a deep trough and felt weak and out of it. Some blood work showed I had a low hemoglobin count.
Iron tablets to the rescue. It&#8217;s been about three or four weeks since I [...]]]></description>

Short posting today. I just got in from a delightful photoshoot with my friend Guy. We met up at the Second Cup at Queen Street and John in Toronto, and wandered along Queen Street to Steve&#8217;s Music where I picked up a new set of guitar strings (D&#8217;Addario Phosphor Bronze, medium gauge) and some new [...]]]></description>

I added a Misc category to Silver Bullets today. A place to gather miscellaneous thoughts that have no agenda or form or purpose. Random thoughts, daydreams, fragments, speculations. Everyone needs a &#8216;misc&#8217; category in their lives. There are so many things that don&#8217;t fit neatly into convenient slots.
For instance, on the topic of Change, I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

New Years is resolution time and whether they&#8217;re kept or not, resolutions are good thing. They&#8217;re a feedback system telling us that whatever we&#8217;re doing, and however we&#8217;re doing it, could use a few improvements. Some are naturals, involving health. My waistline is bulging again. No-brainer Resolution One: watch my eating habits. Eat more wholegrain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Perhaps because I like monochrome images so much, I sometimes find the colour images produced by digital cameras too saturated for my taste.  I often find I need to use the Hue/Saturation tool in Photoshop to turn down the &#8216;volume&#8217; of an image&#8217;s saturation.
Lately I&#8217;ve been experimenting with a more interesting approach &#8212; one in [...]]]></description>

Nik Software&#8217;s Silver Efex Pro is the most exciting Photoshop plugin I&#8217;ve used in a long time.  I first heard about it on the Image Doctors Nikonians podcast and later looked up some reviews via Google. Although I&#8217;d become relatively proficient at doing my own B&#38;W conversions and enhancements using straight Photoshop CS3, I decided [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you know from my previous posting I am one of Flickr&#8217;s dissatisfied customers. Their homepage redesign has left many of us howling. It&#8217;s not change we abhor, it&#8217;s incompetent change. The Flickr changes were not merely cosmetic (and cluttered), they decreased the usability of the site by screwing up the way most of us [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s sad when web-based entities, especially the ones you like, betray you so fundamentally that you can never recover the warm feeling you might once have had for them. The two most flagrant examples of this recently are Facebook and Flickr.
In both cases these F-sites forced a new homepage interface on their members. In both [...]]]></description>

I enjoy technology as much as the next techie, but there are times when it can conspire against all known logic.
Last week my Palm TX decided to call it quits, just after its warranty expired. These things happen so I wasn&#8217;t too upset. I suspected the problem was nothing more than a dead battery. I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>
