Knick-KnackRandom links from a guy in Colorado.New Model Jeska- June 24, 2008 One of the models who showed up at the Colorado Strobist meetup on Sunday was brand-new. She boards her horses at the ranch and when she found out that a group of photographers was meeting there she made it a point to swing by. According to her mom, everytime Jeska goes to a mall people walk up and hand her a card and say they want to photograph her. She's almost 6' tall and as you can tell quite slim. She did great, especially for a first-timer, I look forward to having the chance to shoot her.http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/14996 Form W4 Assistant- June 24, 2008 Form W4 Assistant. Every year I get closer to knowing what my taxes will be (the goal of course getting $0 back from the government, and not owing anything either). This simple calculator will help you figure out what to claim on your W-4 form to try and dial that in.http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/14990 CoolLights Studio Lights- June 23, 2008 CoolLights Studio Lights, a bit like a Home Depot special but nicer and with much better mount options.http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/14983 The Travel Strategist- June 23, 2008 The Travel Strategist. Good idea, stupid web design (who the hell builds an all-Flash site these days unless it's to show off photography)http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/14978 New Strobist Shoot- June 23, 2008 Yesterday we had another Colorado Strobist shoot, this time at a ranch in Wyoming (yeah, yeah, not quite Colorado, but Jim has driven down plenty to our meets here so we decided to check out his spread yesterday). The theme was "country and western" what with it being on a ranch, and we had great models to go along with it. Jim setup an RV (for changing in, and air conditioning) and everyone brought some food along (enough that while Andie and I were the last to leave we left loaded up.) We had.http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/14982 Edit file associations icons, and other Windows settings with Types- June 23, 2008 Edit file associations icons, and other Windows settings with Types.

Since I bought the 40d I barely pick up my XT anymore, I should probably toss it on Craig's List...http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/14984 Continental & United Airlines Announce Joint Venture- June 23, 2008 Continental & United Airlines Announce Joint Venture : Is This Good For Passengers I guess anything that increases the route map possibilities when I cash in my miles is a good thing... One thing I did like about Continental back when I had status with them was that they never flew with the first class cabin empty, if there were available seats they started upgrading frequent fliers automatically at the gate. United on the other hand will fly that space completely empty, presumably just to piss.http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/14975 |
