In an effort to bring the interviews back to Randomn3ss, photographer CT Pham agreed to play Q and A with me.

You were recently featured in an article I wrote for Light Stalking entitled 7 Photographers you will probably hear about in the future. I chose to feature you in there because of the urging of several on a Canon photography forum and your Flickr portfolio, one that is heavily commented by viewers and admirers of your work.  How do you feel about this?

Even though it’s 2010 some of my friends still forward countless stupid emails.  Angela, the same person responsible for sending me the insanely popular best pumpkins post just forwarded me an email that’s too good not to post up.

Last month I announced a long overdue contest for a $25 gift card for Canvas on Demand.  The contest brought 36 entries and ended last night.  This morning I used Random.org’s number generator and it picked lucky number 7, Randomn3ss commenter WIll.  WIll, I’ll be sending you an email shortly, please reply to it to verify and I’ll pass along the coupon code for Canvas on Demand!

If for some reason WIll doesn’t reply in a day or three, I’ll choose a new number and try this again.

Three years ago I asked if you download music.  It’s a simple question, but one that I’m sure most everyone today does.  Either legally or illegally through bittorrent, I know of nearly no-one who has a computer who doesn’t download music in one way or another.  What I want to know now is if you download TV shows, or is it too much of a pain?  Continue reading »

From time to time I get random things in the mail, yesterday a gift card for Canvas On Demand showed up.  Right now  I have no need for canvas prints but figured I’d give it away to someone who could use it rather than throwing it in the trash.

I’ve had Canvas on Demand do gallery wrapped canvas prints for me in the past and the quality is always top notch and the packaging is second to none.  Canvas is still my preferred way to showcase photography and looks amazing hung on a wall. Continue reading »

There’s a lot to be said about dinner etiquette, please and thank you gestures, and just manners in general. In a nail salon, etiquette may not be set in stone, but a lot of it is just common sense. For the people who don’t realize this, chances are, someone is watching.

In November 2008 I was stoked to find a cool website that would tell me if I needed an umbrella today via text message.  After a week the success rate of messages was 50%.  The week following that I pretty much gave up on relying on the service to send me a text message, or have it be anywhere near the time I specified, the service was broken.

Here’s 19 weird, quirky and amazing bacon related products to enhance and improve your life.
