Hey, I'm planning to make a shift from the bulky DSLR to a mirror less camera.
I love to travel but the weight of my DSLR is taking a toll out of me especially on long walks.
If the mirror-less camera can produce HD images as...

When I was a first year high school student in the seminary (It was my dream to become a catholic priest.), we had to read the epistles during mass. It was the first step of learning public speaking. Naturally, everyone was...

EugenesDIYDen I remember having to give a presentation once in front of about 60 scientists and engineers about a project I had worked on. I was told I had to do it about 6 months in advance and I had all that time to worry about it, however it turned out ok.
I hate doing...

After reading a post by Ajmal about the importance of blood donations, I wanted to add my thoughts on it.
For years I donated blood at local Red Cross drives. Most of the time I did fine, but one time I almost passed out. I...

EugenesDIYDen No, I agree with you totally. And the same goes for fancy wines. I think someone did a trial once and experts had to differentiate between cheap wine and more expensive brands. Of course they were all "plonk", but the connoisseurs went on about the bouquet and...

EugenesDIYDen I donate every 3 months. Years ago I tried to donate but they refused because I told them I got migraine and they were worried it would trigger an attack. However about 5 years ago, I managed to persuade them that the migraine was infrequent so they allowed me...

EugenesDIYDen Good advice. Sometimes I get chilblains on my toes in winter from sitting for long periods at the computer and not bothering to turn the heat on. When you're engrossed doing stuff, often you can forget you're cold and only realise it when you stop doing it....

Do you remember the View-Master?
This small viewer is a stereoscope and it allows to see images in 3D.
The 3D effect is created by taking two images of the same scene.
There is one image for the left eye and one for the...

Does anyone believe in the Supernatural or ghosts? I have read few books about the supernatural, ghosts and also watched many series and movies. They really entice me. Are they really out there ?

EugenesDIYDen Don't know and don't know whether we will ever know. I'm open minded but sceptical, but maybe new discoveries in the future in physics will shed some light on the existence or non existence of spirits. I reckon most sightings of ghosts can be put down to...
