I have yet to discover someone who: 1. is passionate about photography 2. lives near me *AND* 3. wouldn't mind teaching me to share their passion. When I do, I think I can revisit this post. Liking to be able to do so. - Michael J Cohen
New Zealand, New Zealand, New Zealand :-D - Kol Tregaskes
@jerry Petra is in Jordan. Amazing to walk down the Siq and have the treasury appear from nowhere. I have traveled to lots of the places mentioned and my biggest regret is not doing more people shots. They have so much character but I don't have the confidence to photograph, especially in a Muslim country. - CJPhoto
Chernobyl (city), the abandoned V-2 rocket base at Peenemünde, and the reefs around Rotan. - Chris Baskind
"A HUGE hailstorm has turned parts of central Kenya white, thrilling residents most of whom had never experienced such conditions.
Hailstorms are not unusual in some parts of Kenya, which straddles the equator, but the ferocity of the storm in Busara, 255km northwest of the capital was unprecedented." - John Worthington via Bookmarklet
At first the pic looks violent, but they are totally having a snow fight! - Josh Haley
Still diggin' Chrome - Found it interesting that IE8 Beta 2 couldn't access Microsoft Office Live and recommended Internet Explorer or Firefox (Should have taken a screen shot).... - Charlie Anzman
Chrome is pretty good, I'm switching between it and Firefox. Depending on what I'm doing. - Mathew Ballard
Got to agree, using FF3 at work for web development, Chrome full time for everything else. - Justin Yost
"We’re back from summer break full of something and something. Expect weekly episodes until it’s time for fall break. Or early September break. Break!
Pilaf games, the myth of women and computers, retroplagiarism can happened to you, young butlers in high demand, 20s sex ed film, prespooling and the origins of the Industrial Revolution." - John Worthington via Bookmarklet
“My Current DSL Data Plan (Australia): 'BigPond ADSL Liberty 25GB Capped' $USD90.00 monthly - slowed to 64kbps when over limit... Oh and 25GB is NOT a typo. Can I borrow a bit of someones 250GB Cap?”
“OK., So the election is now a black man with an old white guy verse an old white guy with a woman... The way I see it, you guys are having an egg & spoon race. As fast and hard as you can, without tripping. The guy who doesn't trip, wins :)”

“Just a quick public service announcement: When reffering to using the new Google browser as 'Chroming', be advised that chroming also means the act of sniffing spray paint fumes. Be sure to explain exactly what you are doing lest your mother begin to panic about your socal activities... Love ya mum”
Wait...people are using "Chroming"? Does anyone go around like, "Yeah, I'm just Foxing the web"? I mean really :) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
No, I just used it :) Remeber I am talking to my mum who still swears you don't have to connect (and I mean dial up) to the internet to get email. She called me about Google's new browser cause she heard about it and she asked if I used it. I replied "I'm Chroming right now!"... - John Worthington
"FIRST tests of Google's "faster, safer" browser have uncovered embarrassing glitches, which prevent some of the company's own services from loading.
Gmail, iGoogle, and Google Docs all failed to launch in the Google Chrome browser today, after Google apparently rushed its launch in the wake of a PR blunder." - John Worthington via Bookmarklet
I submitted this comment in response to this article: "embarrassing glitches... This is a 0.1 release. This is no where near a 1.0 version and the reason it was released was to discover these bugs. Good to see your sensationalist headline machine isn't broken" - John Worthington

“Just blocked my second person... I liken it to blowing one's nose when sick. Glad to get it out but still sad I have a cold...”
“I just read the Google Chrome comic... What an awesome way to release this type of information. Just one question though. If Google are doing their own ground-up browser to get better intergration with their apps, will these apps still be 'fully functional' in a non-Chrome browser?”
“When it comes down to it, do you know what I love best about FriendFeed? I don't have to dumb it down and things like wit and intellegence are rewarded :)”
On a serious note, I completely agree. The discourse on FriendFeed is an order of magnitude more intelligent than any other social media site I've used. - Michael C. Harris
For now, anyway. slashdot started off all right as did Digg. Look at 'em now. - Akiva Moskovitz

The Queensland Art Gallery has a pretty cool photograph policy. Non-flash photography is allowed in the whole gallery except for the special shows. - John Worthington
"POLICE have arrested a blogger for posting songs from the yet-to-be released Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy online without permission.
Kevin Cogill, who uses the online name "Skwerl", has been charged with violating copyright laws after he allegedly put nine of the band's unreleased songs on his website for visitors to listen to." - John Worthington via Bookmarklet
Axl Rose has... hahaha, I can't possibly start a sentence with Axl Rose :) - John Worthington
Seem like the correct response for putting someones very valuable intellectual property up on the web for free. Even worse since the songs weren't even released yet. This guy will probably be liable to both G&R as well as their label for lost revenue. Could be significant depending on how many times the songs were downloaded. - Jeff P. Henderson
Just a thought: if they were unreleased, then they were unpublished. Theoretically it means that they weren't yet owned by the record label. That means the copyright hadn't been issued yet? A technicality, perhaps, and perhaps erroneous, but this might all fall into the bloggers favor after all. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
This is one time where I have to side with the authorities. He was posting intellectual property with the permission of the owner. And what's worse, he was posting crap from Chinese Democracy. He should have been executed on the spot for helping spread that crap. - jerry
There will actually be democracy in China by the time Chinese Democracy is released! - Chris Rivait
He should be happy it was leaked, thats about the best promotion he'll get - orionstarr
there was a great thing on leaked music on the wnyc soundcheck podcast - Cecil Sandus
@Mark, generally if you are signed to a label, all work you do belongs to them automatically. Copyright is automatic upon creation of works. Registration of a copyright provides the additional ability to recover legal fees. I'm sure any record label worth it's salt would have this taken care of before the release of new work. Probably no benefit to the bolgger. - Jeff P. Henderson
