I'll try and get the process written down but in the meantime, feel free to shoot me an email with any questions. You can find my email in my profile.

I looked at some guides for ideas and was hoping to find a ready to go solution but nothing seemed perfect for our use case. Good quality photos for keepsakes was a primary goal so…

The camera is hooked up to the raspberry pi via USB. I'm using the gphoto2 library in python to communicate with the camera, show a live preview on the attached LCD screen, snap ph…

Nice, that sounds quite a bit more compact than mine. Having really good quality photos for us to keep was the biggest priority so we settled on a DSLR and dedicated flash. Along w…

The photobooth application was written in Python and I was able to get picasawebsync ( https://github.com/leocrawford/picasawebsync ) working. Even though the documentation says it…

I used one to build a photobooth for my wedding. The raspberry pi controls a DSLR camera to take 4 photos, stitches them into a 4x6, prints the photo and uploads everything to a Go…

I'm not sure about other brands but I just looked at the bag of Krave jerky I have in front of me and they don't use any corn syrup. Their website [1] confirms it. [1] https://www.…

Does Southwest selectively offer access to different sites? I know Momondo lists Southwest flights when I search through there. Or is Momondo crawling Southwest's site for prices?

Yeah, there was another one [1] built with the same name later. It's a 2/3 scale model of a battleship which is still on display in Point Loma (in San Diego). I used to work around…

I have a pair of Philips Citiscape Uptown headphones ( http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/SHL5905GY_28/uptown-over-ear-... ) and they are awesome. Super comfortable and has good noise …

I had that same engine you link to as a kid except mine was orange instead of blue. It's definitely one of my more memorable childhood toys and even though a fairly basic represent…

Perhaps not exactly what you're looking for but you can get some database dumps that you can browse offline at your leisure. I know Wikipedia offers a file you can download so does…

I'm sure experiences vary greatly depending on the mix of hardware. I remember having to tweak some things to get bumblebee to work properly (or maybe I had to recompile from the s…

Have you tried using bumblebee[1]? I use it on my Samsung QX411 which has an NVidia GeForce GT 525M video card along with the onboard Intel. The Intel card is used by default at al…

A prepaid phone specifically purchased to be used briefly and then replaced is known colloquially as a burner phone or burner. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepaid_mobile_p…

Here's a clip of that joke: http://youtu.be/u6xaj2fC1jI?t=2m38s

I haven't delved into the Windows drivers but clearly they're doing something that the Ubuntu ones aren't for this issue to exist. I just noticed it's happening after a "cold boot"…

I got a secondhand amBX system (just the lights) off of Craigslist a few months ago for cheap and it's been pretty cool. The Windows drivers were a pain to deal with but I got ever…

Bumblebee works well for me on a Samsung QX411. Once installed, just prepend 'optirun' to any command (like when running a game) and it will use the discrete graphics card.

I've used the same feature through Citi credit cards although it's fairly well hidden on their site if I remember correctly. I've never found this feature with my American Express …

Regarding the video quality, they do stream some games in HD. As far as I know, it's still a minority of games at this point though.

I don't follow baseball so please correct me if this information is for something less than it seems to me. A quick google search brought up two services (MLB.tv and MLB Extra Inni…

I don't know about boxing but to watch the NBA (I know that's not going to cover college sports), you can get NBA League Pass for around $100. It's not necessarily cheap but it's c…
