this is a really good article on the pros of converting to DNG after reading a couple of other websites about the pros and cons of converting to DNG i decided that i was pro and i think that this artical sums up the pros in a pretty simple and easy to understand way.

I think that this article agrees with the process of converting your photos to DNGs. I highlighted main points made by the author, but basically he listed many reasons why we should convert our photos to DNGs. One of the reasons I think would be the main reason I would convert my photos would be because I could would be able to open my photos in a lot of different softwares, not just Adobe softwares. It would be brilliant if camera manufacturers could use DNG instead of the RAW format. #proDNG

The benefits of DNG makes me personally want to change my work flow. DNG is universal, smaller in size, and is adjustable like an ordinary raw file. Unlike Canon, Sony, and Nikons proprietary RAW formats. DNG is universal and I've seen it used for video and photo. Id make the switch.

I chose this ted talk because this is a very unique type of "music". During his performance, the way he creates music makes you think of an image of exactly what type of music he plays

I liked this one and I can't find any other ways to describe it other than it's very unique and interesting. It did sort of put images into my head which still amazes me how music is able to do such strange things like make me picture the emotion in the songs.

The 1980s might conjure up images of leg warmers, parachute pants, moonwalking, Flock of Seagulls haircuts and any number of John Hughes movies. But looking back at the decade's best albums, those years were extremely diverse.

John Mellencamp's visual art website. Mellencamp developed a style that fuses the aesthetic approaches of the German expressionists Max Beckmann and Otto Dix with that of American neo-expressionists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente. His oil paintings combine portraits of everyday Americans with a cast of universally recognized symbols-hearts, guitars, targets, and crowns-and words such as "dreams," "blues," and "freedom."

Will, are you the next art writer for City Newspaper or did you borrow some ideas (heavily ahem) from your source? Please cite your sources or give us your own observations. If this is your writing, you need to teach me what Neo-expressionism means. I have always wondered. Just kidding.

I was very impressed with the way the paintings made me think. They're very satisfying to look at and It was like the paintings were whispering those emotions until I really saw. Then it was like they were being told to me clearly.

 This last week I discussed George Sheehan's theory of defense and character in conjunction with The Odyssey , Homer's classic. Today I'd like to extend that discussion with another book on defense, Chad Harbach's THE ART OF FIELDING . Baseball has its human universals, and the best baseball novelists sometimes use classic novels as referents to anchor their works.

Some new cool facts! I think the fact about the cost of a baseball ticket in 1920 is interesting. That is really cheap. I think it's a cool fact that shows the evolution of baseball as a sport.

While the cost of college education in the US has reached record highs, Germany has abandoned tuition fees altogether for both German and international students. An increasing number of US students are taking advantage.

The game of baseball is played at both amateur and professional level

Americans have played baseball almost as long as they have been Americans. Lewis and Clark played catch during their trek to the Pacific, and men organized the first game just outside of Brooklyn as congress debated a fugitive slave law. The game quickly grabbed the nation, and game scores dotted newspapers beside news of Sherman's march through Georgia. This article talks about the history and myths of baseball throughout history.

This is a great article. If you read it, you would have a new perspective on baseball. I challenge you to earn 25 bonus points on this assignment by reading this article and sharing it with the class. You MUST tell us what stood out to YOU and if this article changed your original opinion of baseball.

This article does more than give one opinion, this article describes all the positives and negatives of using dng files or using raw files. This article gave more than enough information about dng and raw file formats. But in the end this article made a case for the use of dng files instead of raw files for so many different reasons that i agree with; ideas like dng files are more compatible simpler to deal with and the size of the files are smaller.

This article has both sides of the argument. DNg I still think is better because you can open the dng file in any format.
