Many of us have had trouble of getting internet radio to work on the PS3′s web browser. Some were sad, some were angry, none were satisfied.

I have found a way that works for playlist.com. Playlist might not be your first choice, but I like how I can decide what I want to listen to, and it doesn’t surprise you with horribly cheesy music during sex like pandora.com does. I guess I should say, at this point, that Pandora is a really fantastic way to do internet radio, but it really needs a ‘don’t surprise me with anything new for a little while’ button.

So, here is a tutorial on getting internet radio (one anyway) working on the Playstation 3:

Charlotte Photographers at play

Yesterday I hung out with photographers Jason Dulin, Ben Epps, and Daniel Clark.

They were playing with various lighting arrangements with 1 to 3 lights, grids, socks, and bounces. Also, they were using Capture, and Lightroom 3′s tethering feature, which I knew nothing about.

Playing with local Charlotte Photographers

With the USB cable run from Jason’s D300 to his lappy, every image he shot immediately opened in Lightroom. This is far preferable to viewing the image on the LCD on the rear face of the camera, as it’s resolution often lets one miss any errors in focus.

At the time of this post, Lightroom 3 is free while in beta. If you ever take digital photos, from a real DSLR down to a camera phone, you need to try this appliction. It is nothing short of amazing.

It is currently available HERE.

My System

I’m constantly surrounded by computers. However, like most people, I have a main system that is more powerful and quite often babied.

This is a screenshot of that system’s desktop. What you are looking at is Ubuntu Linux as the main OS, The Compiz Fusion window manager displaying 2 desktops on a cube, with Sun Virtualbox running my copy of Windows XP on the left. Muah ;)

On the left is Maya (running on XP), on the right Second Life (running in Linux).

The International Geek Foundation called and told me I get extra points for this.
