\"Blognosticator<\/a> It\u2019s actually 101,759 readers.<\/p>\n

What started three and a half years ago on July 26, 2011 has now reached a major milestone in blogging for the graphic arts. The Blognosticator has reached and exceed the 100,000 reader mark. \"100,000<\/a> I started this blog after three-plus years writing a similar blog for the late Graphic Arts Monthly<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n

When they abruptly went out of business I wrote the Blognosticator<\/em> for What They Think<\/em> for a few months, and then took it private, as they say of projects that don\u2019t do well in the bigger arena of publishing.<\/p>\n

I have always maintained my independence, without sponsors (though I have courted one, unsuccessfully), and have maintained a good\u00a0sense of editorial independence. I call a foul when I see one, and I get all Curmudgeonly<\/em> occasionally when Mr. Curmudgeon takes his hand at the blog. But recently I haven\u2019t been too curmudgeonly. It is only good news of late.<\/p>\n

I have some projects in the works: First, I bought an amazing new Mac Pro cylinder computer, and have now successfully migrated to that machine. Friday afternoon I cut the cord to the old machine when a local mail order house had a failure of a similar aluminum Mac Pro tower.<\/p>\n

Our common denominator was the local independent Apple dealer, MacSuperstore.<\/em> The owner of that company, my good friend Shane Williams, sent me a text and asked if I could part with the old machine to save the company after a momentary power-outage caused something to fry in their older Mac Pro. Within minutes I had pulled the plugs from the back of the machine, removed the four internal hard drives (I\u2019m keeping those for a while longer), and personally delivered it across town to the warehouse where it was needed. My\u00a0new Mac is very quick, and I have learned a lot in the few weeks that I have owned it. More on that soon!<\/p>\n

My other new project is a new Canon 5D Mark III camera, which jumped out of our local photo store and into my hands on Friday afternoon. I have been shooting with a Canon 1ds Mark II camera for about five years (long enough that Canon no longer makes that model).<\/p>\n

The new camera has a slightly higher resolution sensor resolution, it has much more advanced analog-to-digital chips inside, and it has the ability to shoot in low light, where the older camera can\u2019t do that so\u00a0well. I will be testing that (I know it has been done, but I want to do it myself) and reporting on my findings.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, thank you for making up one of my over-100,000 readers. It\u2019s a pleasure to have you with me.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Brian P. Lawler<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
