Your’s truely was just a guest on the digital photography show podcast. Please stop by http://www.prophotoshow.net/ and download the podcast while myself, Gavin Siem, Michael Anderson, and Dennis Zerwas discuss the news, new products, Lightroom 2.0, and discuss issues like marketing, insurance, new cameras, and a bunch of other randomness. For aspiring photographers, this is one of the best podcasts to listen to every week.

We were recently out doing a fun photo shoot in the Palm Springs area and looking for another location to go shoot at when our friend Emily suggested we head over to the Salton Sea. While I had heard of the location and had a vague knowledge that it was a body of water that had somehow been damaged by man, I really didn’t know much about the actual history of the area or what had finally happened to it. The story is both interesting, sad, and even horrific and it is actually rather difficult to find all of the information about it in one place. My goal is to create a series of articles and photo essays about the Salton Sea. This will not be a political statement or a “save the sea” message, it will simply tell the story and hopefully leave the reader with something that they didn’t know before. If you do not know the story of the Salton Sea, you are certain to at least find it interesting.

I am back home and am coming out of the medication fog so I can now take some time to write about the procedure and the results of the test. To begin with I will just cut to the chase and say that the test showed that I am in pretty good shape. Even though I am on the low side of average, it confirmed that the previous tests were showing false positives. I am now cleared for a full excersize program to lose weight and get into some better shape.
Ok, that said, I am sure some of you want to hear all the details about the procedure and what it was like. If you continue reading I will be going into every little detail of the procedure. It’s really not that bad, and I do recommend reading it so you know what to expect should you ever have to go through it.

A number of people called and emailed me recently for my birthday to ask how things are going, etc, etc. Well, the simple answer is “not so good”. My doctors are running me through a series of tests for possible heart problems and tomorrow is the “big day” of tests. Here is what we know so far:
Tomorrow morning I go into the hospital for a cardio-cathetertest. During this test they will determine what, if anything, is actually wrong. It is entirely possible that this is just a normal condition and is nothing to really worry about. In many cases, a small blockage will be found that can be corrected by inserting a stent into the vein to hold it open. Only in very rare cases these days is anything more drastic than that needed. Of course I am a bit freaked out today but I am in very good hands with my cardiologist and the risks are exceptionally low. He is giving me about a 5% chance that they will insert a sting and about a 0.0001% chance of having to do anything more drastic than that. I will update this site the moment I can.

Cox Cable’s website has a nice section explaining the myths about satellite TV. After deciding to switch off DirecTV this week and switch over the Cox’s “Everything” package to save $40 a month off my DTV bill, and after only a few hours deciding to cancel the Cox service I felt I needed to debunk all of Cox’s debunking. Read on for a complete description of all of the BS I went through with Cox and their “cheaper” package.

This weekend it was off to The District, a new shopping center in Tustin built on the old helicopter base. After checking out the different food options, we decided to try out Go Roma. The menu sounded like one you would find in a fine dining restaurant but the prices were more like you would find at a cheap fast-food joint. We caved to the aroma of garlic and ordered up some grub. Continue reading for our complete review.

Much awaited and long overdue due to technical and staffing issues, we have finally got trixbox CE 2.4 out the door and the response has been fantastic. With tons of little problems that have been around for ages fixes and boatloads of changes from the previous versions, trixbox CE 2.4 is certainly THE distribution to be using for your Asterisk implementations these days.

From their website “Step into The Counter® and you’re greeted with a clipboard and an extensive list of mouth-watering ingredients that allow you to build your own gourmet burger. Our 312,120+ different burger combinations make every burger as unique as each customer. Rarely is the same burger made twice in one day.” Continue reading for detailed review.
