Nikon D3100

Amazon is current selling the Nikon D3100 SLR for about $530 US. It is a tempting buy. At this price it is a worthwhile alternative to the Canon Rebel t2i and t3i. I have been reading up some reviews and my only problem with is the lack of audio input for your video recordings but I still plan to check it out for myself soon...

TWISS Radio

TWISS stands for Tird World International Sound System. It is a DJ sound system owned and operated by Fadda Flex. After I created and conceptualised Rebel Stream Flex continues to help me operate and formulate the groundwork for Rebel Stream as a medium for grassroots urban culture.

We both agreed that as operators of Rebel Stream and TWISS that we would push and support local music from Trinidad and Tobago as much as we possibly can. Flex has since started TWISS Radio an Internet Radio station and I wish him all the best as he continues to operate it.

Elance.com is Nice!!!!

So I just discovered elance.com. So far it looks like a great platform for freelancers and I now I think I am ready to step out hold the bull by the horns and start my freelance business online.

it even has a greater tracker system that can log your hours on a project and automatically send a report to your client. I'm really new to this but I plan to get as familiar as i can with this tool and try to have a great profile to attract clients...

Rebel Stream

Rebel Stream is a new brand I am working on. The original concept was created solely as an internet tv station to stream live and original content made about urban trinbagonian culture, music, art and other movements within the underground scene locally, but we may widen its scope a bit.

I have had some help building it from Fadda Flex from Tird World International Sound System, mainly promoting it on Facebook.

The Facebook group has grown to about 780 members and we have people on board willing to help us create some new content, but we're still still doing BETA testing, planning and trying to sort out some of the finances needed to fully launch this project off the floor.

We plan to at least bring it on full stream by 2012...

Adobe CS 5: So good it makes you feel Obsolete.

I have been longing for my copy of Adobe CS 5 Production suite. However I can't get it just yet.

Adobe CS 5 in all its sweetness, hello content aware selection in Photoshop? Hmmm wow. I likey but "content aware" is adobe's new technology that allows you to easily fill in a background behind an element that you have taken out of a photo. Well the following vid explains it much better:



However, I can't get this goodness just yet, you see Adobe CS5 hasn't just bumped up its creative powers but it has become a much larger powerhouse, literally. This 64bit system renders my crappy old 32bit Mac Book pro useless if I want to upgrade from CS4 to CS5. So I have no choice I have to buy a new Computer. O well. I cant be obsolete forever.
