As a gift to our readers I will endeavor to make available one free computer wallpaper every month. The first in this series is a close-up image of blossoms from the “Flowering Dogwood” (Cornus florida) tree. In the southern US, nothing signifies spring more than the flowering dogwood trees.

I see and use Twitter as a tool to communicate with friends and like minded people, I do not use it to blindly market to or push my thoughts and opinions to people who probably don’t care about anything I do or think. To that end here is a quick commentary [...]

I thought I would pass on this great deal on a knockoff of the Gorillapod flexible mini tripod. These guys are handy to keep around, although they will not hold an SLR they will hold a remote flash easily or even your small point and shoot.
Gorillapods are more expensive than they should be at around [...]
