Add borders to images automatically
May 10th, 2010
Using your Mac, Linux or windows box, you can automatically manipulate images from the command line using ImageMagick. Most often, I use it to easily add borders to my images. I know I could use a plugin for Aperture, but I often use the “out of camera” JPEG files produced by shooting RAW+JPEG. The best part of the script that I am going to show you is that you can even run it on a web server where your website is hosted to batch adjust images, all in a matter of seconds.
I don’t use windows, so I will attempt to provide the best instructions that I can for Linux and MAC OSX based systems.
Don’t over pay for an HDMI cable
April 5th, 2010
The Mint.com blog offers up a great info-graphic explaining why you don’t need that $250 monster cable to go with that PS3 and HDTV. Its succinct and to the point, and if you have recently purchased an expensive cable, you need to take it back and buy the cheapest HDMI cable that you can find.

March 19th, 2010
Its been a while since my last post, and I thought that I would post a few pictures taken on Day 11 of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. It was nice to get out and enjoy a very spring-like Vancouver in the middle of February.

Better late than never, here are some of my photos from day 105 of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. On day 105, the torch passed through Deer Lake Park on its way to Vancouver.

The torch “kiss”
The opportunity to see the torch along Deer Lake Parkway outside of Burnaby city hall afforded some nice views of the torch relay. Lots of office workers emptied out of their cubicles to wait in the rain for the torch to pass.

February 11th, 2010
Here is a quick post with a few of my favorite pictures from the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic torch relay. The relay went through my neighbourhood, so it was nice to get out and take the family to see the torch go by.

And its gone.
This is just a few of the vehicles involved in the convoy. The bus carries torch bearers along the route after their run.
Stay tuned for pics from Day 105 (Feb 11th) and my summary post on the torch relay. You can view more pictures from Day 103 in my flickr stream.
Vancouver 2010 Torch Relay, Day 102
February 10th, 2010
I thought I’d share a couple of my photos from the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Torch relay as the torch arrived at Holland Park in Surrey, BC. (a 15 minute walk from my house). It was pretty cool to see the torch with 30,000 other revelers. I plan to do a more in depth post to summarize the 2010 Torch run experience.

As quickly as it came, the flame passes by.
There are many more photos from Day 102 of the torch relay in North Surrey in my flickr stream, and stay tuned for photos from Day 103, 105 and my summary post.
