I definitely wouldn't want to stay longer than a weekend there, but I sure can't wait to go back.

]]> Comment on Never thought I’d say this. by Doug http://mr.spoontr.com/2008/01/17/never-thought-id-say-this/#comment-3146 Doug Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:31:54 +0000 http://mr.spoontr.com/2008/01/17/never-thought-id-say-this/#comment-3146 I am so glad to find that someone else shares my exact feelings. One of the big problems being discussed on Apple user support forum is overheating and the wild running ATSSERVER AND MDWORKER. This problem still exists in Leopard 10.5.4, even with a clean install, I had copied 100mb of pdf's to the documents folder and ATSSERVER and mdworker went nuts. Time machine also plays a big part in this problem, as every-time it updates, spotlight re indexes. with time machine running every hour, for 15 minutes, and then spotlight running for the next half hour, you get about 15 minutes of uninterrupted use of your machine out of every hour. Hard drive indexing has been tried with Windows based machines via shareware apps for the last 13 years, with the results allways being the same.... slow to no performance of the machine, because the machine is always trying to catch up with its self. Time machine may have been a good idea in theory, just too bad Apple didn't spend some time testing it. Instead they were too busy coming up with Time capsule, to cheat users out of even more money. To fix the problem with ATSSERVER & MDWORKER, you need to disable the useless Time Machine and disable Spotlight. Apple has some nice stuff, but it is expensive, and they suffer from the same problem as Microsoft.... they do not test anything. That is left to the people to do, and then when we find their problems they give out a patch... too bad we don't also get a paycheck for our end user testing.

Then I guess I need to further explain this one. I was waiting in line for a while on a lazy Tuesday afternoon for a parking pass...and I thought, hey--I should test out this new iPhone app. Instead of taking pictures of people, I decided to take pictures of the floor and my Crocs. But I see what you mean. Oh my.

I saw they have one--it's open box (which I don't mind), but it still is $100 bucks shy of $3000. Thanks, Jack.

They have the best prices for all the Herman Miller products and they ship everything free. Talk to one of their product specialists, and see if you can get a discount or if there are any deals coming up. That's what I've done in the past with this website and its worked out really well.

And as for getting one... without scouring estate sales and antique furniture stores you probably won't find an authentic one anywhere below $1500. Even that's a steal I'd think.

]]> Comment on The most awesomest flash ever. by Billy Halsey http://mr.spoontr.com/2008/06/19/the-most-awesomest-flash-ever/#comment-2522 Billy Halsey Mon, 23 Jun 2008 02:26:03 +0000 http://mr.spoontr.com/2008/06/19/the-most-awesomest-flash-ever/#comment-2522 About the edit: Yes, 'tis true you had a worthwhile conversation with me at your birthday party about why flash was unnecessary in that lighting. So why drop another half on a bigger, better flash? Unless you're predominantly doing serious studio work (in which case you'd also be using studio strobes and the on-cam flash wouldn't matter except as a controller), I don't see it. There's a small niche where such a great flash would fit in: Out-of-the-studio portraits, primarily.

There probably have been some, but not the big ones. Not even my 580 EX II. My flash has a guide number of 58 feet, and I tell ya: If I didn't see this "Sony" on the front, I'd think for a moment it was the Canon or the Nikon SB-800. They're really going after the market hard. Why we’ve never to this day seen rotating flash heads (portrait vs. landscape) is a mystery. There probably have been some, but not the big ones.
