Have you ever tossed your SLR Camera up in the air? I dare you to because this is the result you’ll get. Although you may not get the right shot on the first toss, but with multiple tosses, you will have a higher chance of capturing a picture like the one above. This seems to be the trend for photography, but its also a risk of losing a camera. I have to admit, I’m not brave enough to toss my expensive camera, but I will definitely try it on my “OLD” Point and Shoot camera.

Web cache controls improves the performance of a website by bringing downloadable content closer to the user. For example, a first time visitor would download images and content from your website, which then gets stored into temporary internet folders. Now when that user revisits that same page, instead of downloading all those files over again, he’ll be able to retrieve it from his own computer. So this saves bandwidth for your server which will increase the performance of your site.

Cache controls are actually best used for content that doesn’t change much, such as graphics. But how does one go about enabling caching on your website?

Having had an average American childhood, I was able to experience the joys of reading comics, watching Anime, and playing video games. I straddled myself between the world of geeks and the world of man. You could even say that I was a casual geek, limiting myself to being an outside observer into the geek culture. So with that said, the following story left me both embarrassed and fascinated AT THE SAME TIME!!!! I’m talking about a freaking Over the top COSPLAY WEDDING!!!!!!!

The digital camera age has sprouted some very interesting trends in photography. One of those trends is called the Camera Toss Photography or Kinetic Photography. This involves setting your camera to very low shutter speeds, maybe around 1 or 2 seconds, then throwing it in the air just as it’s about to take an exposure. Then you catch it before it hits the ground. Usually this is done at night near some sort of light source. The result is a fantastic array of colorful patterns that looks strangely Windows Screen Saverish.

If you are a php web developer, I’m sure you’re familiar with the usage of phpmyadmin. For those who is unfamiliar, phpmyadmin is a web tool that give a graphical user interface for the mysql database. Let’s just say it makes life easier on the web developers.

So as a any good developer should do, they should always back up the database in case anything horrible happens to the server. This is easy to accomplish using the export function in phpmyadmin. Now if your database has less than 16mb of data, importing that backed up information is simple through phpmyadmin. But what do you do when you have gigs of data to import? You definitely cannot use phpmyadmin to accomplish this as it will warn you of the size limit. In this article I’ll give a quick solution to this problem by using a mysql bulk upload, so lets start from the beginning.

Graduation was coming up for Heidy Rodriguez, and she wanted to prepare some invitations with a nice graduation portrait of herself. Heidy had asked us about taking some photographs of her. This was actually the first time we had taken pictures of just one person, usually we’d be taking pictures of couples, or a family. So we had researched a lot of female poses to get inspiration for the project. We also thought it would be a good idea to get her in a 1930’s era style at a train station. Of course, because she was graduating we felt that a train station represented her new journey in life. I know, it’s really cliche, but it’s still a very creative and thoughtful cliche. Afterwords, we felt that her graduation portraits were some of the best work we’ve done.

For those of you who don’t know me, or for those who know me but you feel too good to talk to me. First off screw you, and second off I’ve been a fan of Jackie Chan ever since the Barbara Walters interview of him back before Rumble in the Bronx was released. He was unlike any other celebrity and his bigger than life persona was only matched by his humility. I wasn’t only a fan of Jackie Chan, I wanted to be Jackie Chan. I remember going to my friends place and choreographing fight scenes, and practicing falls on my bed. I was a stuntman in the making, unfortunately I busted my knees which ended my short lived career as the next Jackie Chan.
