A few interesting links about Photography, Technology, Social Media, and Gadgets that I’ve come across recently. Some are smart, some are funny, and some are just plain dumb, but they are all interesting for one reason or another. Have a look and let me know what you think:

• True Confessions of a Professional Photographer
  Every photographer that starts their own business (whether full time or part time) has struggles, fears, and doubts. But it's also truly rewarding most of the time! One thing to consider is that even the "heavy hitters" in the industry are just people. This article gives a small glimpse into just how true that is!
• Canon announces EOS-1D C 4K DSLR with 8-bit 4:2:2 1080p HDMI output: Digital Photography Review
  This is an awfully strange camera, and another in Canon's very niche line of products. This one will only be used by very high end filmmakers. It's interesting, but really not intended for the rest of us.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted an iTunes tip here, so I thought I would share something that recently came up for me.

As I’ve said many times before, I listen to lots of photography related podcasts, and I usually listen to them on my iPod Touch. But I was recently trying to catch up on a series of video shows so I had the iTunes Mini Player up on my computer (it’s really not a great idea to watch them while driving your vehicle!).

As always I was trying to get other some work done at the same time and the iTunes Video window kept disappearing behind the window I was working in. This made it very difficult to see the show I was watching! No problem, I’ll just go into the preferences menu and click the box to keep the video window on top. But I couldn’t find it!

I knew that this option had to be there, so I kept looking for it. After searching for way too long, I finally figured out that the option was available, but it was not in the “Playback” tab of the preferences window; instead it was on the “Advanced” tab.

If you want to set iTunes to keep the Video or Mini Player playback window on top of all your other windows, try changing your Advanced Preferences as follows:

1. Click “Edit“, “Preferences…“
2. Choose the “Advanced” tab
3. Ensure the checkbox for the “Keep Mini Player on top of all other windows” is checked
4. Ensure the checkbox for the “Keep Movie Window on top of all other windows” is checked

Keep iTunes Playback Window on Top

I have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to prostate cancer. I’m doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a moustache all November and I am hoping that you will support my efforts by making a donation. The funds raised go directly to Prostate Cancer Canada.

What many people don’t know is that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to afflict Canadian men with 25,500 diagnosed and 4,400 dying from the disease each year.

Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved.

To make a donation, you can either:

• Click this link http://ca.movember.com/mospace/378916/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
• Write a cheque payable to ‘Prostate Cancer Canada’, referencing my Registration Number 378916 and mailing it to: Prostate Cancer Canada, 145 Front Street East, Ste. 306, Toronto, ON M5A 1E3, Canada.

All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law (in Canada).

Prostate Cancer Canada will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.

For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please go to http://ca.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs/.

Thank you
