Dead pixels instead of dead trees 12/22/2004 01:49 AM

I love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve. Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves loaded with titles.

Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands of words on a screen.

Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs. A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even cracked open.

When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all heard on my iPod, while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in my hands.

I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read the only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long time.

As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk, I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I don't think it's bad thing, either.

Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead trees.


Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive?


Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive? 02/01/2005 09:59 PM
In television these days, there is hardly a show that doesn’t have the blood flowing or the boobies showing. It is hard to find a show that makes it on wit alone. Till a few weeks ago, I thought I had found the saving grace with Showtime’s original show, Dead Like Me. I guess a few executives didn’t share my opinion. The fight is far from over though. In the past shows would have died…

DOS -- not dead yet 12/05/2003 03:21 AM
DOS -- that's a word you may not have heard in a while. After all, Microsoft proudly claimed "DOS is dead" when it released Windows XP. DOS is a stable and well-known operating system, but the same can be said for Linux, and some might argue that even Windows XP has become stable. So why would you run DOS when you have these newer, better operating systems?

Wow, they really did kill MP3.com. So much of the net's history gone in a flash, I do hope they create some mechanism (that isn't laden with DRM) to bring back music hosting or anyone that can record a song at home on their PC.

I bet GarageBand.com takes off in the absence of MP3.com, they were like a better version, though they require users and musicians to actively participate for it to work.

Film ain't dead yet


Film ain't dead yet 01/22/2004 12:53 PM

Isn't she cute?

A photo taken on New Year's Eve which we spent at a friend's house with several other couples and their children who didn't stop moving all evening. It was one of the very first shots taken with the Leica and a really old roll of C-41 process B&W film I happened to have around. I'm impressed that I captured her smirk in spite of the low light, her dervishness and my rusty manual camera reflexes. The picture would have been totally different had I taken it with a digital camera and I'm not entirely certain it would have been a presentable photo.

Recently, Kodak announced that it plans to discontinue a number of products including their line of APS film cameras which, if you believe a lot of the chicken little reports around the net, means the end of film photography as we have known it for the past century. Well, aside from the bias that people in the insular world of the internet tend to place on everything from Dean to the blog revolution, film is not doomed or otherwise obsolete even if all the kids who wouldn't part with their digital cameras say it is. The market Kodak is getting out of is one that has gone digital but there are plenty of film fanatics, film cameras and film processing labs out there to keep film in business for many more years.

I succumbed to the siren call of a digital camera about 3 years ago and, while I think digital has helped me to become a better photographer, I don't know that it has produced better photos than a film camera. I recently read Why digital cameras = better photographers which is a nicely done article on what makes digital attractive but, judging by a lot of the digital photos I've seen around the net in comparison to the film photos, I don't know that this is entirely true. Digital has produced a lot more photographers and photos so that the odds of there being more and better pictures is greater than before. I often wonder how many great photographers there would have been in the 1920s and 1930s had there been as many film cameras in the hands of people as there are now. A digital SLR gives you enough exposure feedback to get a feel for what the camera is doing which you can then take back to your film camera, but most digital cameras are completely automatic. People are taking more pictures and enjoying their cameras more so digital is a boon for getting more people interested in photography. However, this is not the death knell for film. Not yet anyway.

I'm getting back into film partly due to many of the inspiring photoblogs I've found at Photoblogs.org in which many of them have pictures taken on film that appeal to me far more than many of the digital photos I've seen or taken myself. Both formats have their strengths and weaknesses for me and, I suspect, they are similar for others.

Digital

  • weaknesses
  • DSLR is big, bulky, and heavy. Intimidates people at times.
  • Trouble focusing in low-light.
  • Batteries; aside from needing charging, they don't live long in cold conditions.
  • It can crash at unexpected times without warning.
  • Shutter lag.
  • Lower light sensitivity.
  • Archival concerns with digital format.
  • Lots of equipment needed just to view and print pictures at home.
  • An almost clinical perfection.
  • strengths
  • Instant gratification.
  • Instant feedback.
  • Easier to share photos with wired friends.

Film

  • weaknesses
  • Film can be expensive.
  • Processing can be expensive.
  • No instant gratification or feedback.
  • strengths
  • Small and light cameras.
  • Fun.
  • More creative.
  • A Challenge.
  • Film has the capacity to surprise in ways that digital never will.
  • No batteries necessary.
  • No shutter lag.
  • Fewer buttons and gadgets.
  • No CPU to crash at unexpected times.

The Elph is a fun little digital camera that I can take in my pocket anywhere and use for photographic post-it notes or fun candids to share. The 10D may gather some dust for a while since the Leica and the Lomo are a lot easier to carry around and they seem to capture more interesting images as perfection doesn't leave a lot of room for creative imperfection.
