Sunset at the Lava Fields
Volcanic activity is not something new to Saudi Arabia. Because of western Saudi Arabia’s location along two tectonic spreading centers, eruptions and lava flows have been reported in the region throughout history. The last known one, in fact, was...read more -
How Many Megapixels is That?
It’s the biggest scam of the camera world. One that has been propagated through extensive marketing and consumer ignorance. And one that irks me to no end. I recently bought a Canon 5D Mark II, and the first thing anyone who sees it asks: “How...read more -
