It must be Friday so it?s time for, ?Is it Worth More Than a Cup Coffee??
This week I?m going with a iPhone version 1 disk or my Smile On My Mac coffee mug. It was an easy choice with the Smile On My Mac
mug coming out as the easy winner. I decided I needed to take a break from writing on Fridays. I need some exercise, so I have started, ?Is it worth more than a cup-of-coffee, Fridays??
Any outside submissions would be greatly appreciated. I just need two photographs (cell phone quality is perfect. That?s what I use). Take a close up of your old technology and any drink: wine, soda, tea or coffee) It couldn?t be any easier. The email address in the left sidebar. Have a nice weekend!

Ain’t technology great. When you have you’re own blog you can post anything you want and call it art. People can come by, check it out, and leave comments. Actually the part about leaving a comments is a subliminal message. Have a great day, I’m on my way to work. -RL

I just tried some Throwback Pepsi with lunch. It says it’s made with “Real Sugar.” Is that good or bad, and what concoction are they using to sweeten Pepsi now. There’s not enough time to solve this mystery today, I’m already late for work. -RL
I received this repsonse on twitter from Bastian Wolfle within minutes of my post. It explains the difference. I need to give it one more try, my tastes bud were having a hard time deciding which is better.
@photoandmac did you like it? This is how Pepsi tastes in europe. Real cane sugar instead of corn syrup.

I certainly didn’t miss Apple Computer, Inc at Macworld this year. There was so much doom and gloom from the media about how it’s the end of Macworld without Steve Jobs and his new toys. I’m not saying it wouldn’t have been nice, but I think Paul Kent, the Macworld general manager, did a great job of mixing it up with more interesting speakers and moving the final day of the expo to Saturday, which made it easier for those from nearby to visit without taking a day off work.
As I rode down the escalator, the first thing I noticed was only one show room floor this year. All the exhibitors were squeezed into one room which meant only one thing: less vendors. It was very noticeable, it only took me about four hours to cover the entire floor.
The more compressed floor did give the appearance of a more crowded showroom.
You can talk about Apple not making an appearance, but the overall state of the economy really has to be the major factor. Renting a booth to display your gear or software is downright expensive. It’s thousands of dollars plus the cost of staffing those booths.
First up on the showroom floor was HyperMac, maker of great external batteries for the Apple laptops, iPods and iPhones. Their equipment is first class all the way and received the most buzz on the showroom floor. It’s a perfect solution for those on the road when battery backup is necessary.
Same as last year, Topaz Labs software was one of the most crowded booths on the expo floor. They were selling their bundle of software for $129 which includes Adjust, Simplify, DeNoise, Detail, Clean2 and DeJPEG. Continued tomorrow… Time to wash the dog and go to work.

I’m starting to organize my old negatives and photos. Each day I hope to post one of my older photographs that just seem to be gathering dust. There’s lots of rain this Super Bowl weekend in Southern California so it’s a perfect time for scanning and sorting through boxes. Have a great weekend. -RL

After, using Photoshop, which included: reducing the color cast with Saturation, adjusting the brightness with Levels, and sharpening with Smart Sharpen. I did select and feather the shadow areas in the bottom half of the photograph, and then lightened with Levels. The final touches did include the Creative Detail Accent preset with Topaz Detail 2.
