The presidential and vice presidential candidates have been laying out their energy policies at their respective party’s conventions over the past two weeks, but they’ve largely left out the details in acceptance speeches. So here's a summary of each candidate's stance on plug-in cars. - Jeff P. Henderson via Bookmarklet
Not a surprise buy any means, but still news worthy as this will be the highest resolution 35mm format DSLR yet. The consensus is that Canon was pushing the acceptable noise envelope with 21MP. We shall see how well Sony has been able to control noise with such relatively small photo sites. - Jeff P. Henderson via Bookmarklet
As a Sony shooter (a700) I can't say that I am interested in upgrading to this. Mostly because I am more than satisfied with what I have, but also because the idea of 21MP is intimidating. That said, I am very curious about what new glass (Carl Zeiss or otherwise) they will announce to go with this new body. - Andy Roth
@Andy Roth - I've used both Canon and Nikon full frame cameras. Are you happy overall with your Sony - controls/lens options, etc.? I've never used one before so I'm curious. - Rich Harris
@Rich - I'm very happy with all aspects of the a700. Aside from the ability to take great shots, it has a really high res screen, a big bright viewfinder, lots of buttons, and an intuitive UI. Between all the legacy Minolta glass that is available and the new Sony and CZ stuff, there are plenty of good lens choices. And, since IS is built into the body, every single one of those lenses is stabilized. - Andy Roth
These are really cool. I stumbled on a cool photoblog awhile back that had pages of these, all kinds of food, glass, containers, etc. I can't seem to find it but if I do I'll post it. - Rich Harris
This is a very thought provoking article on the double standard we have for women running for public office or perusing any carrier which would take them away from their families and children for extended periods of time. - Jeff P. Henderson via Bookmarklet

"Rourke spent 12 hours in jail and was released without charges. Rourke told the paper: "We were encircled, and as I moved toward the officers in front of me in a passive manner, my legs were taken out from behind in an aggressive manner... I went down pretty hard, causing me to scrape my elbows and knee a bit." - Jeff P. Henderson via Bookmarklet

"- Republican John McCain rallied behind his vice presidential pick Sarah Palin on Tuesday and his campaign accused Democrat Barack Obama of sexism for questioning her level of experience." What a crock! In all of the banter I read on the web over the long weekend, and I read a lot!, I can't recall ever reading anyone bring up her gender as reasoning for her experience or lack there of. - Jeff P.
