As I mentioned on my previous post, I am a picture addict. The urge to take pictures has consumed me to the point that I feel giddy whenever I take pictures.

When I was in college, we studied basic photography wherein we were taught to use an SLR camera and how to develop and print pictures. I had such a fascinating time using an SLR camera at that time - from panning, birds eye view, and the different types of shots. Unfortunately, I just borrowed the SLR. So after the semester, I never got to hold another SLR again.

Now that I’m working though, I intend to reward myself with a Digital SLR or DSLR. Browsing over several digital cameras online, I fell in love with Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR Camera w/ Canon 24-105mm Lens Outfit. The current price is $3,799.99. Being lightweight and with the DSLR’s specs and features, “Its full-frame 12.8 Megapixel CMOS sensor combines with Canon’s DIGIC II Image Processor, a high-precision 9-point AF system with 6 assist points, and Picture Style color control to deliver images of superior quality with enough resolution for any application,” it is absolutely worth it.

Being an obsessive-compulsive, I always make sure that all my belongings are properly labeled. Consequently, I was ecstatic when I encountered PlanetLabel.com.

This online retailer specializes in laser, inkjet, and preprinted labels. Some of which include brown kraft labels and waterproof inkjet labels. What I like best about them is their unique inkjet label product - the translucent label. It has a “frosted” look to it when applied to glass, and has a clear matted look when applied on color.

They also offer white labels that have special types of adhesive such as the ultra repositionable adhesive. Labels made with ultra repositionable adhesive permits the product to be removed and reapplied on a surface without tearing the label.

Browsing over their website, I was amazed to find out that their pre-printed labels are categorized into three categories: indoor, outdoor and full color printing. Indoor comprise of labels they print with the use of different types of paper stocks, from white to yellow gloss, and fluorescent colors to silver foil. Outdoor comprise of labels that can be printed on your choice of white or yellow vinyl, clear polyester or silver or gold mylar. On the other hand, Full Color process color labels by using the full spectrum of colors, which produces labels that equal photographs. Labels in this category can be paper or vinyl, and are laminated for extra durability and shine. Amazing, isn’t it?

Bored with your taskbar? Ever wished you could do more with your taskbar time display?

With the advancements of Computer Technology in NJ, the necessity for an equally advanced Information Technology (IT) NJ and Computer Consulting NJ arises.

Although there is a lot of IT consulting firms sprouting, it is important that you do in-depth research first about the firm before availing of their services. That is, you ought to make sure that the firm is established and has developed and deployed rock solid systems to various types of companies. Also, it is important to browse the net or ask around for reviews about your prospect firm especially if you’re just getting started with your business.

According to Wikipedia, an “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a popular audio encoding format”.

Personally, I don’t give much thought about the formatting of a music file… until I bought a phone and a radio, that is.

You see, my phone, a two-year-old Nokia 6630, by default, only plays MP3, AAC, and MPEG-4. Since I haven’t had the time to surf the net for downloadable add-ons, I just make sure that the music files I’m inserting on my mobile phone are in mp3 format. Also, radios in the market are mostly mp3 players and the one we bought for our house belongs to that category.

The point? Before buying any gadget, make sure it has all the features that you want, or it is compatible with majority of the widespread thingamabobs in the market.

Did you know that modern technology and scientific advancement, whose products have helped us in multitude ways, have also contributed to our increasing health problems?

Yep. It’s true. These advances that provide us powerful tools and bring a number of benefits do have some drawbacks on our health. Examples of the increasing problems concerning mental and physical health are the increase of mental stress and the decrease in opportunities for regular or daily physical activity.

Consequently, the need and demand for health care programs also arises. So does the demand for people with health care knowledge.

Nowadays, having a degree, non-degree certificate or diploma programs in health care education will give you a definite advantage in seizing and securing a respectable and high-compensated job (compensation both in terms of monetary and emotional value). If you’re interested in getting quality health care education, visit www.selectmedicalschools.com. They not only offer programs designed to ensure that you get to compete and maintain entry-level positions; they also provide class schedules for both working and non working adults.

Don’t just stand there and let technology control you. Educate yourself so that you can control technology and be able to use it to help resolve great health care dilemmas.

Last week, while chatting with my kendo batchmate, JC, who now resides in Japan, I noticed that he has a peculiar display image – it highlighted this apple-green-thing on his keyboard laptop. On a closer inspection, and to my surprise, that apple-green-thing is actually a cell phone - a real, functioning mobile phone. It’s the SoftBank 812SH Pantone series by Sharp.

Amazed, I took the liberty of doing some research and found out that this sleek 3G phone’s main selling point is its availability in 20 Pantone colors. With a Pantone phone, you can really stand out and make a personal statement!

Impressed? That’s not all; Vodafone (aka Softbank) Japan’s 812SH is also compatible with S! FeliCa electronic money (which can be used for shopping and as membership/point cards), and includes a face-recognition security program for it.
