A new malware app is making its rounds amongst Mac users. It goes under the names: Mac Protector, Mac Defender, Mac Security and people are accidentally downloading it and running it. It’s not a ‘virus’ but more like a trojan horse. The app pretends to be an anti-virus application (hey someone gave us a gift [...]
Technicolor Cinestyle for Canon HDSLR cameras
Loaded the Technicolor Cinestyle Picture Style into both my Canon 7D and Canon 60D cameras. The profile produces a very flat image in order to expand the dynamic range of color graded video in editing. I have to admit the video straight out of the camera looks really crappy as it’s very low contrast. The [...]

Looks like the Magic Lantern firmware hack for the Canon 60D has been posted for Firmware version 1.0.9 here This is an alpha version (really early software, before even beta) of the software hack, hope they can move it along as the Canon 60D really needs some of its features like: on screen audio meters [...]

Pardon the dust here
Doing a bit of an overhaul of the blog layout. Nothing too crazy but it was about time to start moving it into an updated theme. This is still a work in progress.
Dissing the Corn Dog
As the Andagi crew at Kamuela Hongwanji Mission wrapped-up their day of cooking the carb-loaded dough balls they used the extra batter left to dip hot dogs into it for lunch. This wasn’t something they sold to the public, it was their own treat for themselves. They even gave me one to try and it [...]
Rolling to 100K
Well, it finally happened. My CR-V odometer rolled over to 100,000 miles as I travelled to Kona to shoot some high surf. Actually my odometer didn’t ‘roll’ over to 100,000 miles and I almost didn’t realize that. These days odometers are digital so the numbers don’t roll-over like a slot machine tumber from 99,999 to [...]
