I wish I had a connection this fast!
Paul Stamatiou points out that his internet connection was actually being maxed out with using 802.11g. He had to upgrade his network to 802.11n to get the full throughput his internet service provider offered.
Maybe Comcast will get us DOCSIS 3.0 pretty soon so we can at least have 30Mbit/s connectivity.
His connection speed:

My first HDR image.
I have been fascinated by HDR images I’ve seen over there years, and I’ve always wanted to try to create some myself. This one, I took with my handy-dandy Canon SD1000. I just used exposure compensation by putting the camera in manual mode and mapping the print button to the exposure controls. I took (5) images at -2, -1, 0, +1, and +2 EV and used HDR Soft’s Photomatix Pro 2.5.4 on the Mac (PC version exists as well).
One of the tutorials I’ve read is this one, which goes through the process and has some dazzling images to feast your eyes upon as well. Here is another tutorial.

They mention that it’s still in Beta, and there are always issues with Bets, but, like the author of the article, I’m seriously considering using Flock 2 when it makes its official release. For now, I’ll stick with Firefox 3.
