Blogging in 2012, starting again

By Dennis Guten on January 7, 2012 No Comments

20120107-133352.jpgAfter a long hiatus (May 2011) from my WordPress blog, I have finally decided I needed to write again.

One of the things stopping me was a stupid requirement I imposed on myself for posting. I was using a feature called “featured post” that was a little section that faded out images from each post as sort of a preview.

It required me to create a 300 x 200 pixel image for each post and then tag that as the “featured image” within the WordPress theme, which is a framework called Headway.

Only problem was that I was using my iPad way more than my laptop and it was next to impossible to do from the iPad.

This morning I decided to scrap that section and start blogging again. I started this post on the iPad and am finishing it on the iPhone!

Oh yeah, the image is of my wife Ruthie from the New Years party we went to. it was edited in an iPhone app called SketchMee.

AT&T coverage fail in New Mexico

By Dennis Guten on January 4, 2011 No Comments

Yes, it’s another fail. I usually don’t complain so much, but on our recent trip to Taos, New Mexico our nice new iPhone 4 was an expensive toy that was only good for playing games.

I understand that when you are in the middle of the mountains, miles from anywhere, let alone a cell tower, cell coverage will be spotty. It was. The data coverage was pitiful though. In Taos, we did get the E network where we were staying, but it was so poor that we could not even get the weather report from weather.com.

In places where it should have worked and it showed a strong signal and either the E or G network, it just plain did not work.

If I lived there an iPhone would be the last thing i would want. Thank goodness I live in Richardson, TX where the G coverage is strong and the area is wide.

Anybody else have any trip stories about AT&T coverage?

Third time for Christmas lights this season

By Dennis Guten on December 23, 2010 3 Comments

Ruthie and I went Christmas light roaming again with our friends Eric and Robin Roach last night. First we went back to the Springpark area off Jupiter Rd. and saw the neighborhood we had seen the week before with Eric and Robin, but we went too late last time and many houses had already turned off the lights.

This time we went much earlier, about 7pm, and saw a ton more lights.

We also went to a fabulous house near Jupiter and Belt Line where the entire backyard was encased in lights, plus there was a train that was all decorated that was actually giving free rides to kids. The guy even had a video camera set-up and a TV so the parents could see the kids as they were on the train.

Then we went back south to the Newell house that we had gone to with Larry and Charlotte Enge and the lights were on there. This time Eric and I had our DSLR Canon’s with us and walked around taking detail shots of the decorations. The owner, a very nice lady named Liz Simmons, let us walk all around the yard and even opened the window so we could get good detail shots of the small house scenes she had created.

My shots are still in the DSLR, but these are a few that I took with my iPhone. I am amazed at the resolution the iPhone 4 takes and the color depth. I did edit them a tiny bit in my new camera app called Camera Plus Pro ($1.99). I had just purchased it that morning and it does a fantastic job.
