What is all this?

"Pixellany" = pixel + miscellany.    I invented this word to apply to things that somehow relate to pictures and computers. In this site, I fully expect to stretch the definition to the limit.

The material here derives from my professional background (cameras and instrumentation for space missions), and my personal interests (digital photography, computing, and random causes).    Read here for a more complete mission statement, and a bit more on my background.

Major Topics

Photography and Printing

This will start with a collection of tutorials that I did for an earlier site. This derives from my professional and personal background in digital photography.

Computing

This is my current passion and will get the first new content. In addition to general-interest topics, look for material on open-source and free software, including the Linux operating system.

Random Causes

In addition to computers and photography, I sometimes pull out the soapbox on other issues.

Blog

I'm told that everyone is supposed to have one of these. OK—here it is.
