Apple Airport Express

I ordered Apple Airport Express a month ago from the Apple Store.  I was looking for a new WiFi router to replace my Linksys router which were manifesting issues.  This was my second Linksys router which seems to have encountered issues after one year of usage.  So I told myself I should look for an alternative.   I have been satisfied with the Apple products that I have bought and thought that maybe it’s time to buy the WiFi router – Airport express.

Ordering from the Apple Store was seamless.   Delivery was also problem free.   I got the package a day before the promised delivery date.

Upon receipt of the package – I immediately installed the router.  Like any Apple product – setup was simple.

The router actually has added bonus apart from providing Wireless access to the internet.  It has a USB port and a 3mm Audio jack.   The USB port can be used to hook up a printer so you can wirelessly send print jobs to the printer.   The 3mm Audio jack can be used to plug in a speaker.  This allows users to send music to that speaker from a computer running iTunes.

Needless to say – I am happy with the router.   With this order and with the iPad and the second generation iPod touch that I have – I have slowly become an Apple Fan boy.  My mobile carrier does not sell iPhone 4.  If they did – I will most probably get it.   As soon as Apple announced iPod 4th Generation,  I logged on to the Apple Store and ordered it.   It will not be available till five weeks later.  I’m getting antsy over it but from my previous experience – I know that it will be delivered on my doorstep as promised.

Early Evening Walk with Midori and Char Siew

Time to go back to Ayala Triangle Gardens.  This time it’s early evening.  It’s hard to take the perfect picture with the two dogs when there’s low light.  They kept moving. I forgot to bring treats – which makes it easier to get them to stay still.  So we ended up with pictures with at least one of the dogs out of focus.

Greenbelt At Night

Continuing with my download of photo editing tools. This time it's Masque. It's all the effects one would like to have to tweak. The photo to the best that it can be. This tool can selectively blur, brighten, darken or saturate areas.

I thought it would be good to use it with the photos that I took of Greenbelt park at night. The trees were mere shadows in the original pictures. The people were not visible to the naked eye and some of the lights are too bright. The output may not be perfect but I think that's a factor of my skill in editing the photos. The tool definitely has its potential.
