I just gave my nephew, 7, some, in hopes that it'd get him into reading, it did in a way, he's more into the Archie comics. Choose Your ADventures were kind of disappointing in the end, for me. - anna awesomesauce

I never liked those books simply because I would always end up making the worst choice. After making the worst choice, I didn't know what to do. Should I stop reading? Is going back and choosing a different option cheating? - possible248

Canon 50mm 1.4 IS lens ~ $1k I think. - Elliott Ng

I tried to see what camera you use, on your Flickr feed. No help. Anyway, you need to get one of the famed 50mm, 1.8 lenses. - Trevor Carpenter

Nikon and Canon make them for about $100. That should serve you well, in low light. - Trevor Carpenter

Ah, just saw your earlier tweet. OK, so you're a Canon guy. Cool. - Trevor Carpenter

If the subject is still, You can use a tripod and open the shutter longer, collecting more light. Combo of 3 should work - Michael Fidler via twhirl

Roberto, Jason's Taurus and Fondue are dogs, not stars. I agree with 50mm suggestion. I have 1.8f and it works very well, but a 1.4f would be even better. - Gregory Pittman

I was kind of curious about cannons lens after seeing the other posts, and the 50 at 1.8 is right. along with the tripod, high ISO, and aperature stoped down to 1.8 - Michael Fidler via twhirl

I am curious can you think of another company that created something this groundbreaking and then failed to profit from it. I heard on NPR this morning thye have less than 7% of the market thanks to cable companies giving the machines away free. - Ruth Ferguson

the problem is that cable companies make it so easy to just deal with the crappy boxes they provide for less than 10$ a month, as opposed to using tivo and getting a cable card installed. I have time warner though, and they recently "updated" their boxes with a slower interface that feels like syrup. the show names actually disappear as you scroll through the guide - Kyle A Koch

AT&T required me to purchase their TV service which includes a DVR in order to get their UVerse fiber internet service. I think it's going to be harder and harder for TiVo to compete when AT&T and others pursue practices like this. - Thomas Hawk

"Thomas Hawk has been doing his $2 Portrait Project and when I first read about it, I thought it was a great idea. I’ve been trying to think of a way to alter his project in my own unique way. I know $2 is not a lot of money, but while walking down Haight Street the other day, I knew I would be asked for money quite a few times. If I stuck with the $2 project, I would have to stop at the ATM before lunch. So, I decided I would still be doing a good service while still keeping the the project alive if I only offered $1. It sounds cheap, I know, but this is not my intention. To take it one step further, every single one picture that is part of this project will be black and white. So, my project will be: Black and White Dollar Portraits (BW$P)." - Justin Korn

I'm not sure how useful it is to corral people according to so-called "generations", as it may well be a form of ageism, and as the doctator indicated, all isms are de facto proofs of the presence of dire evil. Not really, but it could happen. Blogging is like reading or writing or speaking...a basic skill that knows no age, no cohort. On your other point, there is certainly a shift toward microblogging, and fingers everywhere are rejoicing. - david beckwith

Richard, what a typical response from someone of your generation ;-) - Sprague D

generation is a false construct so that people don't have to think ... it is all about state of consciousness - Gregory Lent

There's decent research that suggests that your generation has more effect on your consumer behavior, workplace satisfaction, preferred modes of work, etc., than your ethnicity, race, and gender combined. So whether or not "is gen X the blog generation" is the right question, there are definitely big questions to be asked about generations. - J-P Voillequé
