Led Rope Lighting

I have been contemplating changing the lighting in my office. Led Rope lighting looks like a pretty good option, but the research keeps leading me to other things. I need direct light with a small lamp, and then I would like the rest of the room lit with less of a direct light affect.
When I started looking at the home led lighting there are all types, and there is also indoor Fiber Optic lighting, and this looks very interesting.
We have some lights at work, I hate to call them flashlights, they are tubes with led lights in them that are [...]

RadioPoppers & The Future Of Wireless TTL Flash

^ RadioPoppers enable full TTL flash control for Canon and Nikon strobes. Unlike traditional wireless TTL, which relies upon a finicky line-of-sight connection between the Master and the Remote - RadioPoppers can transmit this TTL control through walls, in bright sunlight and over extended distances. Off-Camera + TTL = Better Flash Photography The number one opportunity to improve your flash photography is to unbolt your Speedlite from the top of your camera and move it… anywhere. If you rel

Lights bloom in Cornwall

"Field of Light" by Bruce Munro (currently installed at the Eden Project in Corwall, UK) consists of 6,000 acrylic stems connected with fiber optic cables ending in a clear glass sphere. The stems themselves hold no power, so there are 11 external projectors that send light to the balls while the entire installation covers an area of 60 x 20 meters with over 24,000 meters of fiber optic cable. Pretty impressive build, although we wouldn't want to be untangling these cables after the install i

Disney’s ABC/ESPN is now the home for College Football Bowl Championship Series

story from last week. It was reported that ESPN had bid $125 million for rights to broadcast the NCAA Division I College Football Bowl Championship Series on the cable channel. Turns out that was for just one year. They actually bid $500 million to get the rights for four years… and guess what? They won. That’s a lot of money, I hope it pays off.

A Smarter Electric Company

The Electric Power Board recently came under fire for spending $32,000 on the publication of its 2008 Annual Report. The high cost was due in part to pop-up inserts of service trucks and computers alongside the typical bevy of 2D bar graphs and pie charts detailing the power provider’s fiscal performance throughout 2007. To some, it might seem strange that a plain old power company would put so much glitter and pizzazz into the presentation of a boring financial document. But EPB is no longe

It’s ICE!

ICE! at Gaylord Palms Resort is back for its sixth season. I was lucky enough to go last night and found the new displays to be a lot of fun. It’s amazing to see how huge blocks of ice have been transformed into wonderful works of art. A little advice: make sure you buy your tickets online ahead of time to save a few dollars. Plus plan to eat somewhere else either before or after the event. The restaurant selection at Gaylord Palms are good, but very expensive, even more than what you migh

Thoughts on a Chilly Saturday

I will try to refrain myself

From playing Christmas Carols before Thanksgiving. However, since watching watching the snow fall on Main Street during our visit to the Magic Kingdom, I’m already smitten with the Christmas Spirit.
