Hibernate and Standby | Windows XP Power Scheme
Hibernate and Standby | Windows XP Power Scheme: "Do you know the differences between Stand By and Hibernate? These two Windows XP shutdown options often confuse people. These power saving options offer advantages, but it’s important to know the differences when creating a power scheme for notebooks or desktops."

"How to Be a Curious Photographer
A few months ago I wrote a post on how curiosity is a characteristic of great photographers.
I was rereading this post earlier this week and began to ask myself a few questions:
* How do some people end up more curious than others?
* Is Curiosity a personality trait or can it be learned?
* How can I be more curious?
As I pondered these questions I thought of the images that I see each day on Flickr’s interestingness pages (the shots in this post come from there). Some of the shots are just so unusual that I would never have thought to take them. Obviously there are some ‘curious’ photographers behind them - but how do they do it?
I’ve never studied this but I suspect that while curiosity could well be something a personality type thing and that some of us will be more naturally curious than others - it is also that we can all probably learn how to be - to some extent.
How can you add Curiosity to your Photographic toolbox?"

Life is a Journal or Self Help and Personal Development for Lazy People.: 10 tips on leading a balanced life.
Life is a Journal: "FREE self help and personal development for lazy people. I have read a ton of self help books and I feel a site like this would have saved me a lot of time and trouble. This site tries to cut through all the jargon and provide you with plain and simple self help and personal development tips. Personal development is far from a lazy process but I hope to reach people who normaly wouldn't consider it. I even include the odd funny or interesting story based on life in Ireland."
Some of these I already practice and I need to work on some of the others. Good list to start on if ya haven't done any self-improvement latey... //bob

Kiss Default mode good-bye – and step up to the tweaked-out, souped-up, overclocked life you crave."

Photojojo » How to Make Stop-Motion Video Shorts with Your Digital Camera: "How to Make Stop-Motion Video Shorts with Your Digital Camera
Stop-Motion Video TutorialStop-motion animation is one of the simplest, most fun animation techniques.
Mix equal parts digital camera, computer, and imagination (you've got all three), and you're on your way.
Although flashier computer-generated animation is in vogue, stop-motion has a rich heritage of its own. After all, who doesn't love the Gumby shorts of the 50s and 60s, Gumby's comeback in the mid-90s (you know you've arrived when you're a spokescharacter for the Library of Congress!), and the ever-popular Wallace and Gromit?"
