I have worked in politics, been an agent for motivational speakers and authors, managed retail and warehousing and ran my own interactive marketing shop for 3 years. I had a brief cup of coffee with a larger agency and for the last 7 years have been the Systems Manager for a children's clothing manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer, where I head up IT for the corporate office and 70+ retail locations nationwide. I'm moving back towards the marketing side as the web, social media and eCommerce strategist. The marketing side is a lot more fun. I'm not even sure how I ended up in IT.

I'm also heavily involved with cloud computing software. From running multiple domains/organizations on Google Apps to helping to develop and implement SaaS Point of Sale software called RICS Enterprise

Recently became a Certified Inbound Marketing Professional. Not sure that gets me anything, but there it is.

I wish people, businesses, organizations, schools, neighborhoods...everybody...would learn how to use the web better. Call me if you need help, because your websites bother me and they bother your customers too.

I would also like to open a deli in Brookside, because I like sandwiches...a lot. Call me if you want to do that too.

I need to buy a real camera

I want to buy a decent digital camera and know nothing about them. I’m not looking to get a super high end camera, but something that is noticeably better than a point and shoot. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be looking for? I would really like to spend less than $400. Is that possible?

I do not have any delusions that I am going to become a professional photographer, so I don’t need top of the line anything. Just want to take that next step above point and shoot.

I have a standard lens and a high powered zoom lens from my old 35mm Pentax. Will those work on digital cameras? If so - can I buy camera’s without a lens for a better price (and just use these)?

Any suggestions on what I need to be looking at besides mega pixels? Would you but a used digital camera from someone?
