Helen Bradley – Pro Photoshop and Photography: Photoshop: Fixing photos shot from airplanes

Back in 2005, the family and I went on our first trip to Hawaii. We figured it was a once in a lifetime thing so why not? Of course, we also decide to take a helicopter tour of Waimea Canyon in Kauai — also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Incredible tour. Just breath taking. In any event, I shot a ton of pictures, but they all were through the helicopter windows. In my daily wanderings through the internet, Lifehacker highlighted this article: Helen Bradley – Pro Photoshop and Photography: Photoshop: Fixing photos shot from airplanes. Looks like I have a new weekend project.

Thanks Helen Bradley! I hope it works.

First Look: Amazon Kindle for iPhone

I was going to write about this on my blog as I just downloaded the application today… but I I like the way The Apple Blog put it:

kindleThat sound you heard across the Internet late Tuesday night was every tech blogger on the planet clicking on iTunes to download the new Kindle for iPhone app. This free app lets you read any of the hundreds of thousands of books that are available in Amazon’s Kindle Store. The Kindle for iPhone boasts the following features…

The only two cents I have to add is that I connected both my wife’s 3G and my 2G iPhones to the same Amazon account and we can now share any online purchases. I’ve already purchased Divine Justice by David Baldacci.

Got My Spanning Sync – Get Your’s

save5make5_1.gifFinally got my Spanning Sync software registered. It had been running seamlessly in the background on multiple machines and no one had any complaints (until I let the demo period expire on me – then I heard about it….)

I highly recommend that you get the product if you’ve encountered all the limitations I’ve found in trying to get an easy solution for sharing a family calendar across multiple Macs and iPhones. I like the product so much, I’ve left a permanent link on my blog to save anyone else who is interested $5 on the software (full disclosure: I get the same kick back – not too shabby.)

You can get your $5 off by clicking here!

Big THANK YOU to Frank at the NJDOT Emergency Service Patrol

images.jpgA big THANK YOU to Frank at the NJDOT Emergency Service Patrol (North). Last night as I was driving one of the kids to practice and I had ran over a rather large nail in the dark on the major highway near my house. I was extremely fortunate that Frank came along not 30 seconds after I had pulled over and gotten out of the vehicle to inspect the damage. Frank explained to me that the Emergency Service Patrol offerred free roadside assistance for a number of items, including flats.

Now I’ve changed a tire or two or twenty in my time – but it’s so much easier when you watch someone else do it with power tools. I had flash backs to when I was a kid helping Dad – as Frank ask me to hold the flashlight. Frank had me up and out of there in about 15-20 minutes — it took awhile because the both of us had to figure out how to get the spare tire lowered from the truck. My fault really. This is the first car I’ve ever owned that I didn’t go over every inch of the car and it’s tools.

Again- Thanks Frank!
