Today John Gruber linked up a Wired article about the Red video camera. I agree with his observation:
The most amazing part is that the core technology didn’t come from a company like Canon or Sony — Red created it themselves.
I think it extends further than the sensor itself. The notion that a guy [...]

Well well well…it appears ol’ Zep may be getting back together. Nothing’s official, and Plant isn’t yet on board, but all the instrumentalists are recording new material. That has to count for something

Well, the Nikon D90 is official. It may not be full-frame, but it’s a whole lot of everything else - so much, in fact, that I believe Val and I will pass on the D200 when the time comes.
The ability to use quality photographic camera lenses to shoot HD video (720p at 24fps) pretty [...]

And now we’ll be without Super Bowl show stopper David Tyree for at least six weeks…

Some new medium format shots hot of the press, viewable on my Flickr account. The shot above was completely unaltered after scanning other than the automated dust removal.

After yet another brutal manhandling of the opposition, can we stop using the feeble appellation of “Redeem Team” for our men’s Olympic basketball team? Sure, we don’t have the gold yet, but with our worst performance so far a 21-point victory over Angola (and our best a thorough trouncing of Germany by 49 points), [...]
