Apple and I are NOT on good speaking terms right now. I was looking at my iPhone the other day and it spontaneously rebooted.

Dave Gerlits sent me this email: Allison, Hi there. I’m taking you at your word about giving you feedback. On a recent show you talked about one of your listers (Darren) speaking up about the text on the email and how hard it is to read. You responded and said that you had fixed the […]

I’m going to tell a story and I promise it ends with an actual review of the Manfrotto Compact Action Tripod. But first, my story of why I needed to buy a new tripod. When I got my first SLR camera, the Minolta X700 in 1980, I also bought a tripod. I used that tripod […]
