Timelapse

Here are some cool timelapse reels of Los Angeles and San Francisco.  The first was taken with a Canon 20D.  I’d like to try this with my 20D.  I think all that is needed is a 20D or other digital camera, a sturdy tripod and a remote timer switch (Canon) which allows you to control the interval of shots as well as the exposure. $136 seems pretty expensive but I’ve seen cheaper knockoffs that have gotten good reviews, on eBay for around $50. I believe they are called the Phottix Timer Remote C3.

You can check out the time reels HERE

Twitter Badge + Wordpress

Ever wonder how to get your Twitter feed into your Wordpress sidebar?  It’s really very simple.  Here are the steps I used to get the Twitter badge as you see displayed on the right.

  1. Navigate your browser over to www.twitter.com/badges login and select Other for the Flash and HTML widgets.
  2. Select your version of the badge you want (I chose Flash)
  3. Choose your basge color and then copy the text to your clipboard.
  4. Open up your Wordpress admin console. Navigate to the Design tab and then Widgets.
  5. Add a Text widget and copy the clipboard (text you copied from Twitter) into the text widget.
  6. You can then move the test widget to any location in the sidebar.

Your Twitter feeds will now display in the sidebar of your Wordpress blog.

House of Koenig

This is the official start of the “House of Koenig” blog.  I’ll be writing about things I am passionate about, things I know and even things I don’t know about.  It should be an interesting and entertaining experience.  Or it may be a complete and total disaster.  More to come…
