Awesome... Congrats on the internship. I know a couple of people from the Milwaukee school of engineering that do software down there

Nice. The 17-55 is a really nice lens for the money. I haven't heard much about the 55-250, but I've been thrilled with my 70-300 IS (about $500). I love the feeling of new toys... be sure to post some pics!

While I've never been a huge fan of using flash when traditional methods are capable of the same thing, the site does look nice. Most of those pages didn't need to be flashed though. The adsense is pretty intrusive and makes the site look less professional (and it blows away no side...

It would be even better if you skipped over about 10 or 20 numbers so they could never think they got them all ...hehe "41...42...we never found 43-47!"

B&H is a great store with great customer service, and I find their prices to be very competitive on lenses. However, I've also purchased from Amazon (not a reseller through amazon) and have been able to save money on my camera-equipment purchases. Another decent store is adorama. If you're...

You might consider picking up a Xsi instead if you can afford it. DigicIII, larger LCD, 14bit color, and other enhancements make it a decent upgrade for just a little bit more. Otherwise you can check ebay, but I like FredMiranda.com for most of my used equipment. Most of the people on the...

To be perfectly honest, I never found an HTML book to be all that helpful. They really sat on my desk and were used when I wanted to look something specific up, although now it's probably easier just to google for it (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/cover.html for HTML 4.01 spec [see quick table...

I'm pretty familiar with mootools, not so much with EXT. I've used mootools for a number of internal websites/apps at work, and the managers love how interactive it is and how nice it can look. It can actually handle cookies, although the css assets don't necessarily use them, you can always...

I use dreamweaver, but not any of the fun features that come with it. I use it for site organization (I like the folders on the left), as well as for the FTP upload and syntax coloring. I also like some of the auto-complete for html and intellisense-like behavior for php functions. Use...

Looks awesome... you definitely have an eye for design and it shows in every site you've done. One note: disabling javascript prevents the main image from loading in the background. You might want a default just in case someone wants to view the site without JS (or use php/perl to insert a...

I know it's not really gecko related but interesting anyway: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,332913,00.html

Just saw these articles again and thought they'd be helpful for some folks. http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/08/on-assignment-shoot-your-shiny-new.html He uses a piece of Black Granite tile from home depot to get the shiny black bottom, thought it could be good for taking gecko pictures...

Very nice photos... you'll love the 100, it's a great lens at a pretty good price.

You absolutely can make one all black. It's more difficult to get it lit well, but it's possible. A lot of photographers will use black velvet or any other solid black material. You also need to make sure the subject is lit a lot brighter than the background, which will help the camera to...

One option is to offer to buy the domain from the current owner. It's going to cost more than $8 for it, but it's a business decision on how much you'd be willing to spend for it. Current Owner's Contact Info:http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=radioactivesupplies.com
