Does anyone here have experience with eye fi cards? I often take portraits for colleagues and so far my workflow has been the following. 1. connect D800 to macbook air via stock usb cable. 2. shoot tethered to lightroom so that whenever I take a shot it automatically gets imported into lightroom and pops up in my library. 3. the subject can look through the 10 or so shots taken and pick the one their like/want me to edit. 4. I make a note of the file name and then edit that one. I don't find myself using my macbook air all that much and it is too expensive a machine just for this purpose so I sold it. We are no long allowed to use laptops to take exams either as the school is transitioning to iPad testing. Future shelf exams will be on the iPad as well so I purchased one today. Now I'd like to be able to do the same as above with the iPad. I purchased the lightning - usb camera adapter cable from Apple which allows me to do the following. 1. connect D800 to iPad via stock usb cable plugged into the adapter cable from Apple. 2. manually select all the photos that I have taken. 3. click on import at which point they show up in my photo album where I can look through them. The issue with this approach is that I can't find a way to get the file name of the image the subject selects. I can take a screen shot of it but given how there are very subtle changes in between shots it will be a nightmare to later find which one they chose. There is an additional step I can take at this stage to import the files just imported into light room's mobile app which will give me the file name of the shot they like. Just the previous set up alone with having to click stuff to get the files on the iPad is slowing me down enough and getting rid of the instant feedback I was getting on the laptop so I could adjust the lighting as needed or adjust the pose. Basically I want to take a shot and with a reasonable delay, have the image pop up on my iPad in some app with some way of marking the image whether it be my filename or highlighting or whatever that can be recovered when I get to my desktop to edit the files. Any ideas?

Where's the beef in there? lol Looks fantastic.

Yeah, I was actually trying to grab one of the older ones when they had a blow out sale for $99 to avoid these issues. Would have been nice to be able to turn on the circulator an hour before getting home but wasn't sure if the meat/whatever was in the container would not spoil during the day.

Mike, the remote controlled versions have had their problems. Certainly the people who wrote reviews most frequently are those that aren t happy but the reviews for the apps in the Apple app store are very poor. Even their support forum is littered with people not being able to connect to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

Early morning.

I doubt my electricity bill or the smoke detector will like either of those things.

how do you get the pan that hot? My oven only goes to 500C. Does a stove top go beyond that? I honestly don't know so asking.

To those with searzalls....how to do you prevent cooking the entire steak? I feel like by the time I get even a meager sear like this, the inside of the steak starts to cook. I make one with my cast iron pan last night and the crust was crispier. what am I doing wrong? It looks brown but it certainly doesn't have the crisp outside of a sear done on a cast iron pan. I have set off my smoke detector twice already so not sure what the advantage is so far of the searzall...for steaks that is. Makes great eggs.

http://home.woot.com/?ref=w_gh_hm_2 Don't know if this is any good but in case anyone was looking...

Ghetto sous vide. Couldn't keep the temperature steady so the chicken was a little overdone. Veggies were perfect.

At the time I had $5000 saved up. I wasn't doing anything with it. If I were to sell all the shares right now I would profit $131000. Is this return the norm? Absolutely not. Had I sold it in December before it took a nosedive I would have made $165000. It's not money I depended on. It was put aside to purchase a car but when I got into MIT, I just left it in the savings account and forgot about it. A fellow math grad student had made quite a bit of money in the past so upon his suggestion I purchased Netflix. Don't regret the decision one bit. My retirement account on the other hand is diversified up the wazoo but has also gotten me a 2% net profit over the last 7 years. Slow and steady I guess.

Which is fine and all but from Jan 27, the price only went up and peaked to a 30 month high on the 2nd and the 4th highest it had been in 3 months. Granted there is no telling what the price might do the following day (no one sees $100 dips coming), none of the models I worked on suggested buying shares in such a spot. If sandwich man wanted to get a position regardless, then it doesn't matter what the price was. I put my meager savings of ~$5000 on Netflix when it was trading near ~$22. It's taken a turn for the worse since early December but I have no plans on selling it anytime soon. I was actually going to sell it next year to pay for tuition and not having to take out loans but I think I'll let it sit in my portfolio and sell when Julie is about to start med school. Hopefully they don't go bankrupt before then...

Yeah I understood that when he said so explicitly.

One of my oldest friends, Alexandra. She recently picked up an olympus om5 with an olympus 45/1.8 lens. Took both photos with her gear.

That's the part I am confused about. Usually people buy on downticks or when the trend line slope is negative...

Feb 2nd?

Searzall, torch and propane tank are here. As is a nice porterhouse which I typically shy away from since the cast iron pan was basically just boiling the meat (no good contact with the meat. Going to give it a try tonight.

Just finished this. I cried for 5 minutes. Perhaps longer. Even though I knew the ending, it was still so emotionally overwhelming. Fuck cancer.

The searzall and bernzomatic arrived. Can't wait for valentines day. Better be a good sale on the anova.

Don't fuck with the 'eetis or the pancreas.

Nope but if you feel that strongly about it, I'll grab it after my next set of exams. I just had 4 this past Monday so have a little more reading time. I deleted my netflix account recently. The little free time I get I think would be better spent taking pictures or reading. Take a look at this, Jacob. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/125006581X?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 I think you might enjoy it. If you want I can pop it in the mail for you. Julie wanted to read it but i don't see her finding time anytime soon. Send it back whenever you are done.
