Working, So You Don’t Have To…

Posted on September 30th, 2009 in LookStat, Microstock | Comments

We recently launched a new suite of services at LookStat and we’ve been getting some great customer feedback which is always fun. The idea guiding what we’re trying to do is a simple one.

This clip by Bud Light (it’s worth it, trust me) ends with the tagline. “Brought to you by Bud Light. We’re working, so you don’t have to.” - that’s the goal. We want to take care of the details so our customers can spend more time doing what they do best - creating great images.

AppstoreHQ - A Better Way to Find iPhone Apps

Posted on May 22nd, 2009 in Cool, Search, Viral | Comments

If you own an iPhone and are looking for a cool way to find iPhone apps, check out AppStoreHQ. You can easily discover the most blogged about apps and also search, read reviews and buy apps via iTunes via links on the site. They also have a great blog widget which allows you to review an app and embed a link/reviews in your blog post very easily. Just navigate to an app’s page and click on the ‘Add Review’ link.

Find iPhone apps at AppStoreHQ

Here’s an example for the TripIt App. This service by the way rocks. If you travel at all, sign up for TripIt and if you have an iPhone, get the TripIt App. It will be a lifesaver. Just forward all your travel confirmation emails to TripIt and it builds a dynamic itinerary for you. The app automatically syncs so when you’re traveling you have access to Flight info, confirmation details, phone numbers etc all in one place. Brilliant.

You can also follow them on Twitter - Enjoy

Aircraft Geek Alert

Posted on May 19th, 2009 in Personal, photography | Comments

I normally get an aisle seat these days but last weekend I ended up in a window on the wing. I love aircraft and am always amazed by how the geometry of a wing changes as an airliner comes in to land and the flaps and spoilers are deployed.

Alaska Trip Photos

I’ve blogged about this trip before, but I rediscovered these two photographs recently and I love them. These were taken with a 35mm SLR & Black and white film while flightseeing in Alaska a couple of years ago.

1. Under-wing shot while flying over the Alaska Range in a Cessna 206

2. Our pilot landed the plane on the beach so we could hike in to see bears.

Although I love my DSLR, there is something beautiful about these photos. (The setting doesn’t hurt either.)

View from Ray’s Cafe Last Weekend

Last weekend, Alison and I had a late lunch at Ray’s Cafe in Ballard. It’s a great spot to have a casual but delicious meal on the water. Highly recommended. (Oh, they also have fleece blankets for guests for those sunny, but no so warm days.)

This explains why the dog has been glued to the window lately.

Took this while walking the dog at Gasworks Park this morning. I love that Lake Union is such an active seaplane hub.

Looking down 2nd Ave in NYC from the Roosevelt Island Tram

Posted on March 16th, 2009 in Personal, photography | Comments

I was in NYC this weekend to surprise my mum on her birthday. My dad flew in from India as well and we were both at home waiting for her when she got back from work. She was completely blown away and it made for a fantastic weekend.

I took the Tram from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island and the view from the tram rocks (I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of my iphone camera.)

On the one hand, getting up early is a bit of a pain. On the other, the light rocks!
