I’m more than a little crazy for even thinking of doing this, but what the heck. I’m going to try submitting a photo to the inaugural contest. The rules are pretty strict with respect to model releases and any potentially copyrightable works included in photographs (models must provide signed releases, artists must provide copyright... »
I just stumbled across this on Kris Krug’s blog. Not sure how many Famous Photographers are in the pool of options, but it pegged me as His Adamsness… Which famous photographer are you? Ansel Adams: Known for large scale silver gelatin landscapes especially of Yosemite National Park “Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready... »
OK. I admit it. I’m watching American Inventor. And I just can’t stop wanting to scream at the TV “The solution to burning christmas trees isn’t a fancy invention for fire suppression. STOP PUTTING FIRE HAZARDS IN YOUR HOUSE.” There. That’s my invention. Leave the trees outside. Fires suppressed. I haven’t had a real christmas tree... »
I listened to the podcast while riding home this afternoon, so I couldn’t respond in real-time. Here’s hoping my memory isn’t completely jumbled, because there were several things I wanted to respond to. I couldn’t find an entry for episode 28 on the ETS Talk site, so here goes… iPhone – I agree that the... »

Each of these were set up years ago, as part of various efforts to help connect and support individuals and groups in their work at any number of distributed institutions... »
I’ve gotten tired of my crankiness and self-censoring aborted blog posts. It’ll be a good idea for me to put the blog on hold until I’ve worked the funk out of my system. Time to switch to lurk mode. I’ll probably still be on Twitter, and commenting on other people’s blogs, and of course... »
My blog was down for much of the morning, and after contacting Dreamhost tech support ninjas, they told me that my account was sucking the RAM out of the server, and that wasn’t cool. They gave some tips on how to reduce memory usage (didn’t work), and then I rolled up my sleeves to... »
I’m connecting the dots between two otherwise unrelated items that were in my Google Reader inbox this morning. Random Mind: USC Film Students Fight Back Dave Tosh: Data Ownership The first article is about students at USC Film School realizing that the copyright for their student films belongs to USC.

I just contacted Rogers via their website, to try to gather some information on iPhone availability plans in Canada. I know, it’s a longshot, but if I don’t ask… Upon visiting Rogers’ website, I was presented with a “language preference” page that, in my opinion, is rather badly crafted.
