A Tale of 3 Warranties: Apple, Logitech and OCZ

Over the past couple months I have had to deal with tech support from 3 different companies. Usually I hate having to deal with tech support, but I had to do it and it went fairly well each time.

Breaking Benjamin – June 15, 2007

I have finally uploaded the pictures that I took at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater of the Breaking Benjamin concert to my gallery. I once again used a Canon 20D with a Canon 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM lens, but this time I used a Canon 50mm F1.4 on my Canon Rebel XT. Having the F1.4 allowed me to maintain a fast shutter speed, mostly 1/320s, while shooting at 800 ISO, compared to 1600 ISO on the F2.8 lens. I was unable to shoot from behind the barricade like last time, so I had to shoot from the pit, which was not easy. I had to really watch the equipment to protect it and also so I did not hit anyone with it.

Keep reading to see some of my favorite images and what went into processing the images.

Version 9.0 – I Think

Welcome to Version 9.0 of artimeg.com, of which only some have actually gone live. I have been working on this redesign for a month or 2 now. There are quite a few new features. As you can see the top of the homepage now displays some of my work and will be updated when I can. At the bottom is a section of recent photos, which are randomly pulled from the gallery. Under that I am displaying my most recent tweets from twitter. (Currently not working for some reason. Seems to be working now, must have been a twitter issue.)

I am now using tags on my posts, although I need to go back through all of my old posts and reorganize the categories and tags.

Also, on the to-do list is clean up the css a bit. I need to do some organization and find any unnecessary code, but that will have to come later.

I promise this weekend I will finally get pictures up from the Breaking Benjamin’s St. Louis, MO show from June 15th. OK, so I got busy this weekend and did not have time to edit the images, but I have started the process and will get them up ASAP. The images are finally up.

Pointfest #2 of 2007

The second Pointfest of 2007 will be on September 30th with tickets going on sale August 4th for $29.

  • Pointfest Lineup
    • Breaking Benjamin
    • Sum 41
    • Three Days Grace
    • Seether
    • Finger Eleven
    • Sick Puppies
    • The Starting Line
    • Evans Blue
    • (hed)PE
    • Hurt
    • Mute Math
    • Chevelle
    • Saliva

It’s a better lineup than the first Pointfest of 2007, but once again the only band I want to see there is Breaking Bejamin.

  • Sum 41, ewe.
  • Three Days Grace, just saw them live a month ago.
  • Seether, saw them a couple years ago at a previous Pointfest.
  • Finger Eleven, know a whole 2 songs by them.
  • Sick Puppies, who?
  • The Starting Line, who?
  • Evans Blue, saw them at the Pageant and was not very impressed.
  • (hed) P.E. saw them a couple years ago at Pointfest, they were ok.
  • Hurt, not a fan at all.
  • Mute Math, who?

I guess this is why I barely listen to the Point anymore, they only play the wussy stuff anymore.

Update: 2 more bands have been added to the lineup, Chevelle and Saliva. Chevelle: Nice. Saliva: No thank you.
