Tilt-Shift Photo

Tilt-Shift Image

Have you ever heard the term "Tilt-Shift" in the photography?
Please take a look at the photo. By doing Tilt-Shit, objects became miniaturized and gain the appearance of models.

I created this Tilt-Shift image using Photoshop. What do you think?
I posted both original and modified.

I decided to cancel Web.com … although I had to call to cancel my subscription and domain with web.com, they did not give me any hard time about it. I respect that. I wish it was like under $10 per month … I would have kept it.

Web.com … Not Cheap After All

3月

4日

After 17 minuets of waiting I get to talk to an agent. He was helpful explaining to me what I sign up. Yes, the $1.99 (actually it was $3.95 with email support) was only for the first month and the any month after that will be $20.95 (actually it was $22.95 with email support).

I asked if they have any cheaper option. He told me there is a Central Hosting that is $14.95 or email only for $7.95. If I want just keep a domain name it will be one time fee of $37.

It started with $1.99/month but it did not stay there long. I would not call it a rip off because the pricing is not that outrageous but I would call it a bait and switch. I feel like a sucker. I asked him to downgrade me to $14.95. It is still $180/year. Not as cheap as I thought.

Web.com … bait and switch???

Yesterday I registered domain web/email at Web.com at low price of 1.99/month. Our hosting price is much higher than this. After looking at this, I was wondering how we can compete with this company. I cannot lower our price to $1.99.

I looked at the billing section today to find out $1.99 only applies to the first month and it will go up to $20.95 just for a web. I am calling Web.com to find out more about how much it really costs. I am currently on hold for over 10 minuets.

I will keep you updated.

Near Field Communication

2月

This was the first time I have seen an example of NFC (Near Field Communication) in use. It is very interesting. But as you can see, NFC is not supported by iPhone (Apple). Until it is supported by Apple, NFC has very small chance of going anywhere.

This is my understanding of NFC.

It is like RFID where devices like cellular phone can communicate with the device that is printed on something to get info. It is designed to be used as way to transfer info or even funds using cellular phone.
