Facebook and Spotify teams up to provide a new music service to Facebook users. The new service will probably be named “Facebook Music” or “Spotify on Facebook” and is said to be launched in as soon as just two weeks, according to Forbes. Apparently there’s no money shifting hands in this deal, Facebook doesn’t pay … Read more →
I thought I wanted to try something slightly different for this Photo of the week and show you a real snapshot for once, showing a little bit of where I live. What I mean by “snapshot” is a photo that was born for no real reason other than just to take a photo of whatever … Read more →
I think it’s been a few weeks since the last photo of the week, so I thought it was time to post another recent photograph. The photo below is the top of the local parish church here in Naxxar, Malta. The chuch itself was built some 400 years ago and it’s a stunning looking church. … Read more →
Here’s another photo of the week where it’s all about being in the right place at the right time. I can’t remember the last time I saw a rainbow in Malta – in fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw a rainbow anywhere and I had a camera handy. Needless to say, I … Read more →
I forgot to put this one up yesterday, so even though I’m posting it this week it’s actually a picture for last week 🙂 Anyway – time’s not important. I didn’t get to shoot much last week but this is probably the one I like the most. I’m a complete newbiew when it comes to … Read more →
I don’t get to experience much daylight during this time of year. In the mornings, sure, but that’s when I go to work – and when I leave work, it’s dark. So when I had to go out and play with my new Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lens tonight, it was completely dark. In fact, darker … Read more →
The swedish music streaming company, Spotify, just released their financial results for 2009 which shows a loss of £16.66 million, around $26 million. Sales, administration and distribution accounts for about £27.7 million but Spotify couldn’t get their revenue above £11.3 million for the year.

Last night we had some thunderstorms over Malta with a good amount of lightning as well and I’ve always wanted to get a really great shot of a lightning strike, so I figured I might as well begin to practice and figure out how to do it. At first I stepped outside on the patio … Read more →
This is just a short “first impressions” review of the Sony Cybershot HX5V digital camera with GPS. I’m not going to go much into details and technical analysis, there are many other photo review blogs out there doing a much better job at that, than I would probably ever be able to do. Here’s a … Read more →

Malta is not included in the next batch of countries to receive iPhone 4 in late July: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong … Read more →
Apple just came out with a press release (read it below), stating that they have now sold three million iPads in less than three months, in fact, in just 80 days. In the last three weeks alone, they sold a million iPads. Overall, that’s 26 iPads sold every minute, on average. In May, the iPad … Read more →
Pope Benedit XVI is in Malta this weekend, visiting during April 17-18th, 2010. He landed at Malta International Airport at around 5pm and after all the formal stuff was taken care of, he drove around in his Popemobile to greet people, on his way to other destinations. I figured, since I was only a walk … Read more →
It’s Friday and that calls for a new Friday Flick Find video. I figured, since the Pope (Benedict XVI) will be visiting Malta this weekend, that the video for today should be something about Malta. Just so we’re clear, this video has nothing to do with the Pope (I’m not going to have some crazy … Read more →
A few days ago I recieved a Tamron A17 70-300mm lens for my Nikon D5000. The full name is Tamron AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro. I don’t know enough about DSLR shooting to determine whether or not the lens is any good, but for the price of less than $200, I’m quite satisfied with it. … Read more →
Today is the big day, August 28th, where Apple releases their new big cat: Snow Leopard. We’re going to see Mac geeks all weekend creating countless of threads on Mac forums about this and that, how great Snow Leopard is, how much it sucks, how many installation problems they had, how easy installation went and … Read more →
