Erik’s Holiday Gift Guide 2009 Now for Download

Erik Bernskiold — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:00:16 +0000

As every year, this being no exception, I’m releasing my Holiday Gift Guide that can be downloaded here on Bernskiold Media. The idea of this gift guide is to provide you with ideas on what to get photographers/techies or gadget lovers for christmas, or what to wish for if you belong to the group. The guide is arranged in sections for different types of people, like photographers, videographers, designers, gadget lovers and more.

I should note that this guide is in no way endorsed by any manufacturer and I am not being paid anything from anyone for making this available. These are things that I use and recommend to you, that have made my life a whole lot easier.

Please stop over at the official gift guide section here to either view it in your browser, or to get your downloadable PDF today, and spread the word around. You don’t know what you might be getting!

End of the week 46 updates

What has been.

Last week had perhaps a little lack in the blogging and I really hope to be able to catch up a bit again this week. Last week had some pretty large things in it for me, including a flute concert yesterday that did go really well. As we are approaching the holiday seasons it means extra work in all places for me. More and more design work to do, more tutorials I want to get out there and there are certainly a lot more news being released that I want to blog about. As if that weren’t enough, teachers don’t give you a break with tests either.

What’s coming up!

For the coming week, I have a few goodies lined up, including not just one but two product reviews. The first being of Scott Kelby’s Digital Photography Book Volume 2 that I finally decided to check out. My second review will be coming later this week and will be of a laptop bag that I got delivered late last week. It’s called the Brenthaven ProLite III bag and so far, I’m liking it a lot but I do really need a bit more time with it to give a good review.

I’m planning to write up a tutorial or two during this week as well as things are smoothing out in my planning and I’m trying to make room for all that I need to do and create a good, better and new planning scheme for myself!

To end today.

On that note, I believe that was recapping what happened over last week and if anything, this weekend has allowed me some relaxing but some good working hours to get some projects moving and some finished. Look forward to a great coming week as we are approaching the holiday season really quickly.

Speaking of the holiday season, check out my Holiday Gadget Gift Guide that I released last week for some major hints on what you could wish for or get for others in a lot of price classes. The great thing with the guide, and the sole purpose why I am doing it, is to recommend the stuff that I actually use and like and not just things I think "looks good". I get asked this quite a lot so for the third year in a row, I’m doing my gift guide and if I may say so myself, it’s looking very cool this year.

My Annual Holiday Gadget Gift Guide is released!

Erik Bernskiold — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 07:00:37 +0000

It’s time once again for my annual Holiday Gadget Gift Guide. This year like the two before I’ve included some top gadgets that I really like into a gift guide that you could use either as an inspiration for what you wish for or as an inspiration of what to give someone.

The guide is divided into different sections themed by a special group of people in mind, like Photographers and Gadget Geeks for example.

You can download it as usual for free right here on the site.

Thursday Things

There are a lot of cool new today so let’s get right to it.

Microsoft is allowing everyone to publicly beta test their MobileMe competitor, called Live Mesh. Both Windows and Mac users can use the Beta version. You can sign in on the beta using your Windows Live Id right at Mesh.com.
Scott Kelby posted on his blog today his review of the new MacBook Pro. If you are thinking about one, head over there to read what he has to say.
It’s been confirmed that the new 2.2 Firmware update of the iPhone will bring podcast downloads on the fly with it. Very welcome thing to be able to download podcasts on the go. In the beginning only for podcasts that’s 10 MB or smaller, but it is something!
Another iPhone goodie. Check out the cool app called Fake Calls that will allow you to plant a fake call at a time to your phone (it won’t actually call you) so you can escape an unwanted situation. Pretty innovative app. Check it out in the app store.
Finally for today, Terry White has posted his annual Holiday Gift Guide where he suggest some stuff that he likes that you could give to a techie for Christmas. Go and check it out. I have my annual in the works but it’s gonna be due out soon.
