Interview With Photographer C.T. Pham aka Phamster

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?

Ad’s That Just Don’t Work Anymore

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.

I’m already a huge fan of Mad Men, the TV show based in the early 60′s and focusing on the advertising industry of New York City so this collection of ads that just don’t work anymore, while totally sexist and completely wrong, still made me chuckle a bit.

And The $25 Gift Card for Canvas on Demand Goes To…

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.

Do You Download TV Shows?

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 »

Free $25 Gift Card for Canvas on Demand

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 »

UmbrellaToday.com Still Leaves You Wet

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.

Bacon Invasion

For whatever reason our culture has taken a liking to bacon, which is fine by me.  So much so that a Bacon Today has a cult-like following and provides the latest bacon updates to readers on a daily basis.  Sites like Etsy have thousands of search results for Bacon and eBay shows more then 10,000 results, including many for coupons for lovers of bacon to buy at discounts!

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

Street Artist Julian Beever

Two of the more popular posts over the last few years here have been of Julian Beever attacks the pavement, and the follow up, showing his amazing street art and chalk paintings.  This is another follow up, showing videos of his work instead, in progress and how he does it. Continue reading »

Review: Bean Sprout Digital Camera

A few weeks ago there was a woot-off going on, an all day sale at woot.com.  They are always interesting and the amount of random stuff that shows up.  For all the years I’ve watched woot I’ve never actually bought anything, but this woot-off finally had something I could spend a few bucks on.  By a few bucks I mean just a few, as they had two-packs of a toy digital camera slash carabiners called Bean Sprout for $5 plus $5 shipping.  A friend mentioned a few months earlier she had bought one it was fun so I figured what the hay and ordered a pair.

Randomn3ss Refreshed

Thirty-nine months ago I launched this project known as Randomn3ss.  The sole intention was to use this site as a platform to rant, rave, give reviews, complain and write about anything I wanted.  A staff of sorts quickly started writing with me and now, this is the 899th article published!

During the lifespan and evolution of Randomn3ss many changes have been made and this now is the third re-skinning of the site and I’m very pleased.  After using premium themes to re-launch my own site and more recently a friend / client’s site it seemed to make sense that Randomn3ss would receive one too.
