Interview on DP&I.com and Table of Contents Posted for “301 Inkjet Tips”
I usually don’t post the same info on imagingbuffet.com and my book’s companion site, inkjettips.com, but I was recently interviewed (in text form) by Harald Johnson and wanted to share the news. Harald Johnson is an imaging consultant, head of his own marketing communications agency, and author of the following books: Mastering Digital Printing: The Photographer’s and Artist’s Guide to High-Quality Digital Output (2003), Mastering Digital Printing, Second Edition (2005), and Digital Printing Start-Up Guide (2005). In the interview, I share a bit about the thought process behind the creation of the book, as well as some of the book’s features. Harald Johnson is also the book’s Series Editor. You can find the article at this link on Harald Johnson’s site, DP&I.com (dpandi.com).
In addition, you can find the Table of Contents for 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques: An Essential Printing Resource for Photographers here (Main sections and 16 chapter titles).
Great Story by a Tech Journalist Contemplating Solar Power for His Home
I just came across this story on ExtremeTech.com by ExtremeTech.com editor . With the number of computers, lights, chargers, air conditioning units, wine bottle chillers, and other power-hungry gadgets that photographers and other imaging professionals use, I thought that this would be an interesting story for our readers. After reading this, as well as a number of other stories about solar and wind technology, I truly believe that even with today’s technology, much of the world’s population that receives a significant amount of sun (and/or wind) throughout the year can greatly reduce reliance on coal and other traditional energy sources. How about putting solar panels on windmill blades? I’m sure it’s probably already being done. I’m also curious if the author of the article considered solar shingles. They are put on homes like traditional shingles, and may help to dramatically increase the number of homes that adopt a solar-powered solution.
