I have decided to make a new blog dedicated to the review of custom Adroid ROMs. If this strikes your fancy please come visit us.

Just installed WPTouch on the site, if you are viewing the site with a smartphone (iPhone, Android, Pre), tell me what you think.

I highly recommend installing this if you have a Wordpress blog.

I put together a little video overview of the Bugless Beast ROM by Pete at Alldroid.

Update: Looks like I am already late to the games, (0.7.5) was just released.

Did a shoot for my wife’s dance studio today, SAS Dance Studio. Here is one of the shots from that shoot.

Was out at a photo shoot for my wife’s dance studio and saw this tractor.

This is not a complex preset by any stretch, but sometimes your pics straight out the camera can look a little flat. Use this preset to punch your photos color palette in the face!

This is a twist on your typical black and white treatment. This preset assumes that your photo is correctly exposed, so if it is not you may have to adjust it a bit.

This preset bumps up the exposure by 2 stops, crushes the black a lot, and adds a slight yellow tint amongst some other things. Notice the area between the bottom of the tank and the ground to see how much it crushes the blacks. Enjoy!

I have a lot of people ask me how I get the colors in my photos. For the most I use Adobe Photoshop LightRoom available here. Well I have decided that I will start sharing some of my presets that I make. I hope you enjoy them.

For my first preset I decided to share what I like to call “Antique Magenta”. I use this to give an older 1960’s look to the photo that a lot of cheap film cameras had back in the day. This basically changes the red tones to more of a magenta hue and changes the blues to a teal color.

I am just testing out WP for Android. It seems to work quite nice.

I was really impressed by the speeds of Verizon’s network yesterday. Normally I don’t use my phone for viewing a lot of video online other than Youtube videos, but after my experience yesterday I may use it more.

I am a big fan of the website Engadget. They have recently started a web show that I enjoy watching. I had not watched the latest episode yet, so I thought I would try to watch it from my phone on the Verizon data network. I was pleasantly surprised, I clicked on the MP4 podcast link from their site and it played somewhat smoothly.

So I decided to see how fast the Verizon data speeds were on my phone, needless to say, I am pretty impressed. Good job VZW!
