Circuitous Conversations With Bill & Dan

We talk about various aspects of shopping online; buying new or used, and how reliable user ratings are. We also mention some of our favorite websites and tricks for finding stuff.

This week, we talk about music - how the industry has changed, how people find out about new music, and how we get into music in the first place. What's the difference between musicians and non-musicians when it comes to deciding what we like?

This week, we talk about games. Video games, sports, and the like.

This week, we talk  about Bill's new iPad, and then we get into a few of our favorite things.

We talk about Bill's new "hackintosh" system, doing things yourself, bikes, and a little photography, too.

This week, we talk about Mac stuff, and touch on a few other bits, including podcasting and social networking.

This week, we talk about the results of our recent shootout between medium format digital and film, 35mm digital, and 4x5 film. Apologies for the audio quality on this one; there were some technical difficulties.

We talk about new projects that we've been working on, and touch on copyright and what it takes to succeed as a working photographer in this day and ago.

We return to gear talk this week, touching on new purchases and configurations and a few other tidbits.

We start talking about sci-fi, and then get into talking about watching movies, including how they've evolved over the past few years.

We talk about the future, including some guesses/predictions, space exploration, the value of human life, and a few other bits.

We start talking about what it's like to move (as in relocate), and then get into the particulars of collecting - baseball cards, toys, art, etc.

This week, we talk about gear. Does high end gear have anything to do with making something good? How much stuff should you bring to the gig? What about the equipment used by the artists we look up to and admire?

This week, we were joined by Mike "mossmann" Ossmann. Mike did most of the talking, and Bill did most of the asking, covering a few interesting topics, including: hacking together an optical-electric guitar, wireless security, and bluetooth.

We talk about printing a bit. We also talk about having special guests.

This week, we talk about fandom, Comic-Con, the Social Network, and a few other odds and ends.

We start off talking about what we think about comments and user-ratings on the internet, and then we get into some photo-specific questions from listeners.

Taking a break from photo talk this week, we get into the various aspects of watching tv without having a television, using the internet. And computers.

Yay, camera talk. We start out talking about the differences between sensor sizes, and get into a bunch of other related stuff.

We start out talking about some heavier stuff - leaving your mark on the world, why it's worth doing anything despite the fact that we're all going to die in the end anyway, and the difference between doing everything by yourself vs. being part of a team. Then we talk about some camera stuff.
