For non advertising campaign shooting pros and prosumers, once you get to 6MP, let alone 8MP, you have enough size and anything bigger is just extra, and not really necessary 99.999% of the time . It’s also wise to go with the model that will ultimately accept an extension grip for easier verticle shooting. Although not immediately obvious, for an editorial shooter, the vertically oriented photograph is the primary image orientation.

Why Can’t Americans Send Wire Transfers Online for Free?
This just makes no sense to me whatsoever. Why can’t I send wires online? Europeans are able to freely transfer money online from one banking institution to another. Why is it such a pain to do in the US? Will this be Michael Moore‘s next film? I am 100% positive that there is a shady government interest preventing this. And don’t try and tell me it’s to prevent exposure to online banking hacks.
Big Ups John Stossel
John Stossel had a nice 20/20 story this week on running out of gas and how there’s a fuel buffer in American gas tanks. I guess I’m in the same boat as Paris Hilton for not knowing that, only Paris actually did run out. I wonder if she did or she didn’t know there was a 20 mile or more buffer? I think that was a dumb question. The point is, I like the gas story by the Stossmeister.
Lockboxes for Everyone
Why should you ever have to go to the bank, or even an ATM for that matter, to deposit a check? Hello world…where’s the personal lockbox where all we have to do is mail the check to our bank (with a specific P.O. box listed on the envelope) and the check gets automatically endorsed, scanned, and deposited for me, saving a pointless time wasting trip to the bank. Who’s going to be the first bank to offer this great service? This is an entrepreneurial idea worth pursuing. For a small check clearing fee of say $10, solving this problem could be big business. One could even use it as the foundation for starting a new bank – Easy Lockboxes For All.
Much Love For IKEA
Just a quick post here on how much I love IKEA. I’m on a tight budget these days and I find furniture outrageously expensive, particularly when compared to buying a PC or a PC monitor or even a flat screen TV. The folks at IKEA do a good job of bridging that price gap for me. Anyone that says IKEA falls apart too quickly doesn’t know how to use a screwdriver. I.e., if your IKEA furniture feels chinsy or rickety, you probably didn’t read the directions and assemble it properly or you didn’t tighten your screws well enough. For the price, IKEA cannot be beat.
UPDATE: The modern style of IKEA does seem to be going out of style. IKEA is certainly weak in overall style points. There are 2 sides to every argument – I guess I’m taking both sides on this one.
