By now you should know that I love HDR Images they are high dynamic range images and they use photos with different exposures (different levels of flash) and then merge all the photos to highlight the colors that would usually be in shadows and help enhance the colors in the foreground. The picture above was taken in South Florida as much as it looks like a jungle in Europe it's not it's Miami and thats a 2010 Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 Super Veloce.

Sexy.

Facebook Locations?


Scrambling to keep users interested Facebook has to constantly give users a reason to depend on the use of their site and so far have been quite successful in doing so as earlier this month Facebook was the most visited website on the internet for the first time ever even more than Google search. Not all the websites Google own and manage (they own the site your on now Blogspot.com, Youtube etc) but rather the ever most popular www.google.com.



Thus giving the Facebook management team even more reason to constantly be offering new features or making Facebook easier to use. So their next move which might not come as surprise to some as they have been use to it if they use social network websites like Twitter or Blackberry Messenger. Facebook's newest feature will be a Location Based feature allowing friends to identify your location and present it on your profile, sounds horrible?

Well it's not all bad this would actually allow for checking in at certain locations like restaurants or business meetings or even work if you wanted to prove to your boss you were early. This can also allow for parents being satisfied that they kids are at home and safe or just simply to show off on your fellow teenage friends that you are cool as you brag to be and your actually at the concert you said your going to go to.


Then one tends to think but does this good outweigh the bad of putting your location on your profile for thousands to see? Well I love this website these guys created called Please Rob Me it's a twitter based website which shows the dangers of tweeting about leaving the house or telling everyone your next move and then the location based feature shows potential thieves where exactly you live, its exactly as the website is saying your begging someone to rob you, so most definitely the dangers are there for such a feature being implemented on the largest social network in the world but as with everything Facebook will privatize everything allowing you the user to hide your information from whoever it is that you do not want to see your location. Guess all we will have to do is sit around and wait to see how this feature works but I think it's a good move by Facebook because now more than ever they need to do what's necessary to still matter.

DJ SOUTH - Drake - Over Remix


Was playing around with acid and made a remix to Drake's Over with Lil' Wayne's verse from Forever and some old "Dj South" and "Exile Sound" samples from way back in the day.


Enjoy!

This is one of my best friends little cousin but I'm sorry as much as I don't like guns this picture is pretty awesome, the kid holding this toy AK 47 in one hand with a serious face and the hoody lol this is priceless. I can just imagine when this kid grows up you probably see this as his profile picture on facebook with some stupid caption like "bad from birth" awesome little picture though.

This is not what we should be teaching our kids!

Street Fashion


Barcelona street fashion, I'm still searching for the perfect shorts to match both my loafers and boat shoes but then I came across this dude from, Barcelona who over there is your average Joe, for the States he's your typical prep but for Jamaica seems to be non existent. In Jamaica only the rich you tend to find in a nice pair of penny boat shoes, a clean white half sleeve Egyptian cotton Polo Ralph Lauren shirt and smooth aviators. How could I forget the pink shorts lol I love em! Well if I do find those perfect shorts just know I'll definitely be blogging about it in the future, but for now just know that picture is a true reflection of a gentleman who knows the right combination for a casual outfit.

iPad now taking Pre-Orders!


Any one out there want an iPad?

Hell Yes!

Any one out there needs an iPad?

ahhm no.

Steve Jobs and his new iPad

That's the typical response from anyone who is obsessed with technology. The new iPad which is set to be released on April 3rd 2010 feature filled but nothing we really need just a very expensive toy some might say or others an over sized iPhone. In my personal opinion I think I'm going to purchase an iPad but just not right now. If history is any indication of the future when the iPhone came out initially it cost $599 and three months later even with it's great reponse from early buyers the prices dropped to $499 and a year later down to $299 oh and by the way the $299 has the most features, but then again some might say by the time it's $299 nobody wants it anymore well that means you didn't really want it in the first place and you could have done without so same said about the iPad.


More than Likely the prices are going to drop and the technology will improve so probably by the end of the year I'll be likely to own one probably on it's second or third updated version of the device, hopefully I'll still be blogging so I can do a post on it's performance and features.

For now so long,

HDR Images + Photoshop


This post is just to show you a new blurry effect that I learnt in Photoshop that increases the sharpness of the person in focus. Just thought I'd post it.

This is suppose to be a "green" save the planet Mercedes but thats so ironic don't you think, well it runs on bio-fuel but it's made out of all white gold. Seriously the city of Gold(Dubai) has definitely out done themselves with this it's pretty amazing.

Then again I'm biased because I love Mercedes.

Windows Phone 7 Series

Own a Smartphone with Windows Mobile on it?

That’s a thing of the past now.

Since Microsoft has been losing this race to Apple, they haven't seemed to just sit back and watch it happen all over again. Microsoft adopted a new strategy this time around they went straight back to the drawing board and started from scratch designing a new kind of phone with a new set of staff hiring plumbers and painters and people from all different industries to help with the series of phone’s they plan on relasing in order to gain back their share of the Smartphone industry. The initial employees that were working on the older version of Microsoft Windows Mobile have been re-assigned to different areas of Microsoft so as to help give Microsoft a face lift. A new perspective on things.

The newly create phone and OS sports a completely new interface which in its early stages seems to be very attractive and functional compared to original versions of Windows Mobile and they have decided to go with the name "Windows Phone OS 7." The new Smartphone software resembles an electronic butler that tries to anticipate the user’s needs. It automatically taps into the carrier’s data network to pick up appointments, photos and messages from friends, and it presents all this information in a slick fashion.

In my opinion still not going to be the iPhone killer as they're a tad bit too late now, according to Gartner Microsoft lost market share from 11.8 percent to 8.7 percent and with more and more Smartphone’s becoming available this just might turn out to be another case of the Zune!

Just have to wait and see. In the mean time you can watch this little preview of it:
