Personally, I don't do street photography. At least not in the Philippines. The streets are teeming with thieves and robbers so basically, wielding a camera becomes a bit of a status symbol whether you intend to or not. It's expensive to lose a gear for me. That aside, for the rest of you who like getting into street photography, this article would help you in improving your craft.

Enjoy and happy shooting! ... And be wary of who's near your gear.

(Tech) The Top 7 Best Linux Distros for 2014 | Linux.com

For some time I've been on Ubuntu 13.04. It's been working so well that I didn't find it worth the effort to upgrade to 13.10. The next version that would probably interest me is 14.04 or at most, 14.10... But it's still some time away. I've been poking around the net and found something that piqued my interest. I've had about enough of the Unity interface, but I still like running on Linux. The same goes for being in Ubuntu. I supposed I've gotten so used to the way they package things. It's refreshing to see that there are still other distros and they're all getting better. Chances are I might switch to Lubuntu or Xubuntu eventually. Windows 8.1 may be awesome right now, but other than for gaming I still can't justify to myself paying for the price of the OS. Yes, I'm such a cheapskate.
