The first balanced ultra-portable headphone amp in the world....
I think I need to listen to this sometime. Maybe after taxes are done. Sounds like a great amp.- john_jcb

The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)
I have a question about the Nikon NEF file. I have found that there is a jpeg image file embedded in the NEF file. I also found a little program for extracting it. My question is the jpeg made with the same settings as the raw file or is it the same as you would get if you shot NEF+jpeg? Also is...- john_jcb

The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)
Deftly slipping the topic away from lenses a minute. When using the AF feature do you select your focus point or let the auto setting handle it? I have had a few shots where it wanted to select the wrong point. Perhaps I should practice selecting for myself. Also what do you all think about...- john_jcb

Help me find out if Doors Legacy is clipping.

I had a heart attack Oct 2, 2009
Sometimes it is not all about you. Step back and think about your friends and family and how they will suffer if you are gone. Take some time off relax and reflect on your life and take the steps to get healthy. You obviously have some decisions to make and I hope you think more about your...- john_jcb

The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)
Well after 39 years of shotting film on a myriad of SLR cameras I have made the move to digital. I started out with a small Lumix and was pleased with the results. A week ago I ordered a D90 and after charging the battery I had time last night to take a couple of shots outside before the...- john_jcb

Well now that I have been playing with my Panasonic DMC-FX35 for many months I am thinking of getting a DSLR. I have narrowed my choices to the new D3000 the D5000 or the D90. Not sure I need video capability. What am I really loosing by going with the D3000. Flash Sync speed seems like one...- john_jcb

So what's on the grill?
I like to cook corn quickly with the husks off. The sugar quickly caramelizes and the corn tastes great with a little butter salt and pepper. Another thing we have done for a long time is grind our own meat for burgers. I normally use a mixture of chuck and round steak especially when there...- john_jcb
