What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
Do you feel like you're running a technology marathon? I just came back from a long weekend trip to Arizona where I had a chance to visit three of my sisters as well as complete the P.F. Changs Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon. This is the fourth half marathon I have completed and each time I have discovered another trick or two to help me complete the half marathon with more energy and less injury. I also discovered that while I may not be the best half marathon competitor, I can definitely still compete in the technology arena. I know… Continue reading...
My 7-year-old son is keeping me on my toes with Santa Claus this year. He recently told me that he is going to set out his digital camera on Christmas Eve so he can get a picture of Santa coming down the chimney.

After the soccer game is over, the parents come up with an idea to put together a photo book from all of the pictures everyone has taken throughout the season.

Yesterday, I wrote about a Lego set my son received for his birthday. Today I am going to tell you about "the big gift" that he received from mom & dad. You know, that one gift you save until the end in anticipation of that "this is the coolest gift ever!" reaction from your child? This year's big gift was a digital camera. Not a kid's digital camera, but a full-fledged adult digital camera. My son turned 7 years old so if your wheels have started spinning wondering why we would give a 7 year old an adult digital camera,… Continue reading...
