Camera Advice Nov 10, 08, 12:43 a.m.

I'm looking to expand my portfolio and get into some photography. Problem is, I don't have a ton of money right now so I'm trying to upgrade my point-and-shoot without dropping a ton of cash.

Right now I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-W50 (but I'll be selling that and putting the money towards a new one). It's been a nice little camera but I'm thinking of upgrading to either a Canon Powershot SX110IS or a SX10IS. The difference in about a $100, but the SX10IS seems to have a bit more in terms of more pixels, more zoom wide lens. I'm assuming these are all good things.

I held both in my hand this weekend, and as nice as the extra features were on the SX10, the SX110 was a great little camera that although full of features, it was still small enough to slide into my pocket (a bit bulky, but it fits).

Anyway, I'm really looking to take some nice outdoor shots, maybe some people shots, food shots, that kinda stuff. Do you think the SX110IS is good enough? Or should I splurge and spend the extra dough for the SX10IS? Should I screw both and just keep my Cybershot? Any other recommendations? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this photo stuff.

Banks Sep 30, 08, 11 a.m.

Right now I'm WaMu, and I'm thinking of switching banks for obvious reasons. What are some good national banks? I've begun opening an account with B of A, but I'm already realizing they might not be the best.

Best iPhone To-Do App... Dec 1, 08, 9:15 a.m.

Any good ones?

Camcorder Dec 1, 08, 9:16 a.m.

Looking to pick one up for my pops for the holidays. Haven't bought one in a number of years. Which is best - Mini DV, Hard Drive, Mini DVD, Flash?

Sony Cybershot DSC-W50 Nov 11, 08, 10:39 a.m.

Anyone interested in buying it off me? Great condition...original box, manuals, etc. and a 1GB memory stick.

Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Optimized iPhone Sites Nov 3, 08, 1:59 p.m.

Going on a few trips soon. I'm trying to add some nice iPhone optimized sites to the home screen with icons for quick access.

All topics...I have ESPN, CNN, NY Mag, Daily Beast...need more.

Video Podcasts Aug 12, 08, 8:36 p.m.

Going on a bunch of trips in the next few months and I need some video podcasts to keep me busy on the plane.

I never really watch any but figured I should download a bunch rather than paying for shows or movies.

What are some good ones?

Miami Jobs Mar 30, 08, 9:45 p.m.

Looking to move back to Miami. Got some good experience from the last 5 years in LA under my belt. The job market seems like shit right now. Anyone hear of anything?

Are there any companies like Creative Circle (http://www.creativecircle.com) out there?

Looking for mainly print (either in-house designer, magazine work, etc.). What job search sites do you guys use?

F'up Mar 20, 08, 2:37 p.m.

A few years ago, I accidentally dragged my entire font collection (at the time it was at least 1,000 fonts) into my dock. I was on a G4 PowerBook and It was hell...I could hardly move my mouse and I started dragging each font out one by one but it would take about 2 minutes per font.

Couldn't find any help online. So I finally broke down and called a Mac fixer buddy who had me trash the plist. It worked, but I was miserable for about 2 days.

Watch this... Feb 7, 08, 11:06 p.m.

I need a watch but I hate watches. I haven't worn a watch in years thanks to cell phones, but I want to try to wear one again. Not sure what kind...I like metal bands but they always pull out my arm hair. And since I'm still not 100% sold on the idea, I think i want something less than $100 and something more on the cooler/techie side rather than the formal site. Not like a calculator watch, but something a little unorthodox. Help?

Best ever? Tough decision, but Everlong - Foo Fighters has gotta be up there. Just watched it again for the first time in a long time.

Designing for a "Friend" Oct 23, 08, 9:11 a.m.

What do you guys charge when you do work for a friend? I rarely do it, but I decided to help a coworker's husband out and now he wants me to let him know what'll all cost. I don't want to sell myself short, but I don't want to tell him too much and not have him give me the work. Any suggestions?

Cameras for beginners... Oct 9, 08, 1:20 p.m.

I'm thinking about getting a real camera (er, a good one at least, more than a point and shoot, but under a grand) but I really know nothing about it. Any suggestions for a beginner? I'll probably use it mainly for outdoor shots, close up food shots, that kinda thing. Help?

Madden 09 Aug 12, 08, 8:26 a.m.

Anyone?

It's one of the few games I still pick up every year, but my XBOX playing has been minimal lately.

I don't have it yet but it looks like it might be worth grabbing soon. It does look pretty good, and I'm in major need of some football action right now.

Every Beta Dance Now Aug 7, 08, 3:11 p.m.

What are some sites in beta right now? Need some samples of sign up/beta pages...

LA Print Shop Jul 22, 08, 3:17 p.m.

Besides my Miami print shop thread, turns out I now need some LA ones. Our current go-to vendor has sucked majorly lately and I'm in need of some good ones. Ones we can trust with delivery dates, print jobs, etc. We normally do programs, invitations, that sorta thing with them. Any suggestions?

QBN Sports Fans Jun 30, 08, 8:18 a.m.

Wanted to let you sports fans know about a site my friends and I just put together. We call it Project Franchise, and our goal is to purchase a professional sports team and have it run by the fans. We initially launched a sign up site which I believe was posted here. We're on to phase 2 and we now have a fully functional site!

We literally just launched and have been testing our forums, but we need some real sports fans to clog up our boards! I know QBN isn't a huge sports lovers paradise, so when you're done clicking on links to design love, head to www.projectfranchise.org and take a look around. Sign up to stay informed and PLEASE contribute to our forums! The whole idea behind our project doesn't work if it's not user generated. So go for it! Start any topic you want. Sign up and pass the word along!

Here's a direct link to the forum but you can easily find it at www.projectfranchise.org - forums: http://www.projectfranchise.org/…

This one...

Or this one...

You decide. I can't. Anyone try either of these?

HDTV May 11, 08, 10:24 p.m.

Anyone seen any good deals lately? I need to pick one up before the end of the month. Ideally looking for a 42" with 1080p for about $1000.

Have a Samsung 32" right now but it's leaving me at the end of the month. Anyone hear anything about Olevia? Is it crap or decent? Any other sugs?

OS X Music Video May 10, 08, 12:44 p.m.

Hope this hasn't been posted (sorry if it has, I couldn't find anything in a search) but this is pretty crazy.

A digital filmmaker named Dennis Liu has made an amazing video for The Bird And The Bee’s lovely song “Again & Again”. The set? His Mac desktop. You sort of have to see it for yourself to understand; luckily, Dennis has dropped it on YouTube so that the world can see it in low-res glory.
