    PSA: Why you should avoid Motorola Phones.

    Cliff Notes: -I buy a Moto X in late 2013 directly from Motorola.com via their ‘Moto Maker’ app. My decision is influenced by positive reviews, and also by the fact that Google owns the company, which I associate with fast software updates and good customer service. -Google sells Motorola...

    Question for single guys that are into fitness

    Do you find that your tastes in women have changed? Are you more attracted to the type of woman that spends a lot of her time in the gym, versus at the salon? For me, the answer is yes.

    $100 for a quiet modular PSU?

    So I recently upgraded my system and the old power supply I had works, but with the additional power requirements it's sort of on the edge and the fan is also very loud. So what are your recommendations for a very quiet PSU with modular cabling for about $100. 650 watts is fine, but 750 would...

    $500 'sandy bridge' upgrade possible?

    Is a 'sandy bridge' upgrade possible for about $500? By upgrade I mean motherboard, CPU, and RAM. Everything else I can recycle from my current build. The machine would be used for photo and video editing. I gave up gaming on PCs when I crossed over into the dark side of 30 (although I still...

    First time working with a male model

    I had decided some time ago that I wanted to add a few males to my portfolio for the sake of variety, so here is my first effort. When I shot this session what I had in mind was sort of a modernized James Dean look. Firm and honest critique is always appreciated. Sample 1 Sample 2...

    Are any of these portfolio worthy?

    I freely admit that this is not the type of model that I normally work with. That was actually part of the reason I decided to accept this assignment, to broaden my horizons a bit. Which of these do you like best, and in general do you consider any of them portfolio worthy? Sample 1...

    Hey guys, I finally updated my webpage with 3 of the models I've worked with.

    Miguel Cotto vs. Zab Judah on June 9th

    I've always thought Judah was the faster and more physically talented of the two, but Cotto has been more consistent and a harder worker in preparation and training. Judah (possibly because of great natural talent which has made him feel a bit superior) has been known to underestimate many...

    Anyone here into aircraft/airplane pictures?

    I attended my first airshow this weekend and took some pictures. I didn't have any experience taking these type of pictures or in this type of an event so I had to sort of learn by initiation. My only goal was to get a few good enough to print out for my office, which I think I accomplished...

    DX 10 games in Q1 2007

    Link Will this influence your decision of when to upgrade? Will you hold out for a DX 10 compliant card now (g80/r600) instead of getting that new 7950GX2 or 1900XTX? I'm personally leaning toward holding out for DX 10 cards unless you really need something right away. Edit: Fixed link

    Recommend me a really *geeky* watch

    I was looking at the Casio Pathfinder PRG80YT-1V ( Link ), which has a lot of geeky features like built in digital compass, is solar powered, gives world time in 30 cities , has a built in altimeter, ect. Yes I fully realize I'm hopelessly geeky for not getting an analog 'bragging rights'...

    Recomend me a heatsink/fan for an X2 4200+

    I've decided to order a dual core CPU today, going to go with the X2 4200+. Recomend me a good heatsink + fan combo. Noise is my number 1 priority, however I would like to overclock to 2.4-2.5 if possible. I would like a combo that offers better noise + cooling then the stock heatsink/fan setup.
