Panasonic Lumix GX1 with Lumix 1.7/20mm
Monochrome ISO 160 straight-out-of-camera
I published part 1 of my review of the Panasonic GX1 over on thewsreviews:  http://www.thewsreviews.com/2013/05/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gx1-silver-part-1.html

Nothing particularly controversial, especially for a camera that's at its end-of-life, heavily discounted and waiting for the rumored GX2 to be released. Basically, it's a fabulous ยต4:3rds camera for just $200.

    That monochrome Honda has a nice tone...

      Straight out of the camera. No post processing except to scale the size down for the web.

    Love it. The GX1 in silver looks fantastic, too – I've never seen it before.

Suse 10.2, part 3: Looking at KDE

-

This post comes at the convergence of a number of events. First, there was the story on OSNews titled " Has the Desktop Linux Bubble Burst? " That generated a number of responses , one of them from Aaron J. Seigo . With all the drama buzzing in the background, I went back to my Suse 10.2 installation and started to look at the KDE desktop. When I installed 10.2 I installed both Gnome and KDE with an eye towards really testing and comparing both. I've slowly grown dissatisfied with Gnome over the past year, and I'm ready for a real change. I've played with KDE in the past, and I've started to use the underlying GUI toolkit, Qt from Trolltech . I've wondered if I should switch and use KDE as my default desktop. With Suse 10.2 it looks like the answer is yes. With both environments installed it was a simple matter to log in using KDE. The first thing I did to my KDE desktop was to change the blue background into something, anything, a little livelier. I like ...

Ten Reasons to Ignore Ten Reasons to Dump Windows and Use Linux

-
There is a tradition amongst the hard-core Linux aficionados to extol Linux's various virtues as a list of 10 or more reasons to substitute (as in "dump") an existing Windows installation with Linux. There's no reason to point them all out; a simple Google search (" 10 reasons to use Linux ") will provide you with such lists stretching back through the years, as well as hours of entertainment. One very recent list caught my eye over the weekend, published by PCWorld. Their article, " Ten Reasons to Dump Windows and Use Linux ", seems to have hit a nerve with me. Normally I just ignore such journalistic pap, since the majority of it comes courtesy of one ill-informed blog or another (such as this one). But in this instance a "real" publication put some time and journalistic "credibility" into this list, which places it in front of a wider audience than the typical blog poist (again, such as this one). So let's consider al...

A Decade Long Religious Con Job

I rarely write inflammatory (what some might call trolling) titles to a post, but this building you see before you deserves it. I've been seeing this building next to I-4 just east of Altamonte/436 and Crane's Roost for nearly 12 years, and never knew who owned it. Today on a trip up to Lake Mary with my wife I saw it yet again. That's when I told her I wanted to stop by on the way back and poke around the property, and photograph any parts of it if I could. What I discovered was this still unfinished eighteen story (I counted) white elephant, overgrown with weeds and yet still under slow-motion construction. It looks impressive with its exterior glass curtain walls, but that impression is quickly lost when you see the unfinished lower stories and look inside to the unfinished interior spaces. A quick check via Google leads to an article written in 2010 by the Orlando Sentinel about the Majesty Tower. Based on what I read in the article it's owned by SuperChannel ...
