These are some photos from my weekend trip to Washington D.C. All the photos taken were with my Canon T2i, my 18-55mm kit lens, and my 1.8 50mm prime lens.

Hi Candice, I'm a big fan of your videos on YouTube. I was wondering what you think about the rumors regarding the MacBook pro update for 2012? Will you miss anything like the optical drive that is rumored to be removed? Also what are your plans regarding the new MacBook pro; will you want to get a new model? Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Thanks for your support. I’ve been reading some rumors of Apple making a MacBook Air like 15 inch MacBook Pro. I was actually considering getting a MacBook Air 13 for college, but realized how limited it would be to upgrade later down the line. That’s what I would miss the most if Apple were to go down that path. I rarely ever use the optical drive on my current MacBook Pro. I’m probably going to wait until Apple does update the line, and consider getting one before I leave for college this August.

I’m planning on upgrading my iPhone when the new generation is release. My MacBook Pro has been having issues recently. I’m hoping to get a new Mac before I leave for college.

Will you continue to do youtube videos during your college years?

I really hope so!

Will I get the new iPad?

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:10:33 -0500

Yesterday was the Apple event that brought us the new iPad, along with a myriad of software updates. Probably a question I got a lot now is if I’m going to get one. I’m currently using an iPad 2 in white, with 32GB of memory and AT&T 3G connectivity. Even before the annoucement began, I really had no plans to upgrade. The iPad 2 really suits my needs, and I couldn’t see the need for the upgrade. My thoughts were later confirmed.

The new iPad is a respectable upgrade for anyone new to the iPad family, or upgrading from their original. I’m excited to see the retina screen on such a large display, and really want to see performance on apps and web browsing. But these upgrades weren’t enough to convince to upgrade. I consider it going from the 3G to 3GS, or 4 to 4S. Although I did upgrade from iPhone 4 to 4S, I feel like my tablet has a longer, how can I call it? “shelf life?” “upgrade cycle?” But I’m probably going to upgrade next year.

Since you are 18 one would assume that you are going to college now/soon. My question is what college would you like to go to or plan on going to?

I’ll be attending RPI this fall, and will be majoring in Electronic Media Arts and Communication.

“Mr. Jobs angrily held up his iPhone, angling it so everyone could see the dozens of tiny scratches marring its plastic screen, according to someone who attended the meeting. He then pulled his keys from his jeans. People will carry this phone in their pocket, he said. People also carry their keys in their pocket. “I won’t sell a product that gets scratched,” he said tensely. The only solution was using unscratchable glass instead. “I want a glass screen, and I want it perfect in six weeks.” After one executive left that meeting, he booked a flight to Shenzhen, China. If Mr. Jobs wanted perfect, there was nowhere else to go.”

The Oatmeal blacked out in protest of SOPA / PIPA

The Oatmeal, as usual, explains everything you need to know about SOPA/PIPA while A. making you laugh, and B. making Oprah ride a jet ski in space.

Copyright and intellectual property are complicated. But I know this: We have the right to make Oprah ride a jet ski in space! And that’s why we cannot allow SOPA or PIPA to regulate the Internet.

“As the tide washed in, the Dutch Tulip Man faced the Ocean.
“Conjoiner, rejoinder, poisoner, concealer, revelator. Look at it, he said rising up and rising down, taking everything with it.”

“What’s that?” I asked.

“Water” the Dutchman said. “Well, and time.”

My Speck Candyshell is AT&T only and it partially covered the vibrate switch on my 4S. I managed to cut a little notch so I can still vibrate on and off. Not bad for not being compatible.

10 Years After 9/11/01

I normally don’t deviate from technology when it comes to this website, my twitter, or my Youtube. But it has been ten years after the attacks, and I saw this blog as a the perfect medium to express my thoughts.

I was 7 or so when the attacks happen. I remember being in my first week of second grade when I came home one day and saw the news. The extent or impact of the attacks didn’t hit me because I was still so young and naive. My mind couldn’t comprehend the idea of an attack, not just to the country, but to the city I had had practically visited every weekend. The images of debris and people crying didn’t hit me emotionally until a few years after.

Both of parents worked in the city when the attacks happened. Cell service was interrupted going into the city, so my brother and I couldn’t make contact with them for hours. It took my mom almost nine hours to return home. She saw the second plane hit the towers from her office. What normally be a short 45 minute bus ride home, took her nine hours to walk to the Ferry, wait in line, and finally travel back to NJ. My dad did not even bother trying to drive home. He stayed the night.

A week after the attack, news spread around my chinese school that our beloved principal had passed away in the World Trade Center. I then only began realizing the pain people all around me felt. Our small tight knit community at the chinese school mourned together. The attacks in NYC finally made a personal impact in my daily life. I knew the sons who had lost their father, and the teachers who didn’t have a coworker anymore. The Star Ledger came to report about my chinese school weeks later, and that is why there is a picture of me above this post. I made the inside cover of the Star Ledger as the face of the small chinese school in NJ mourning their principal. I will never forget that image, and the kindness of my principal.

As 9/11/01 becomes more and more distant from time, I hope my generation will never the impact the attacks have made on our childhood. A piece of our innocence that we brought to school that day, was taken away by the images and horror stories we heard after. Every year I think about those who have perished and those who have lost people to the attacks around the country. It saddens me to know that such a vile event could still happen during our lifetime. I will never forget what 9/11/01 means to me as an American.
