All you have to do is take some photos – which you never delete from your camera – so when someone finds your camera at the bottom of the gorilla pit they are able to locate you and return the lost property to its rightful owner. http://www.andrewmcdonald.net.au/a-picto...
I like how everything is clear and readable except the email address.
- Alex Scrivener
LOL That's funny, but yeah...what's with the email address being so small?
- Admiral Anika
At any rate, I had a video I made with all my info on it. I accidentally took it off my chip, but I'm positive I copied it to my camera. Unfortunately, I don't know how to access my camera's memory and the cord has been lost. One of these days, I'll RTFM. =)

I like how the facial expressions match the whiteboard :-)
- Rene Wirtz
lol that was awesome as hell. I'm definitely planning to do it.
- Bora Mesut PALAS
I'd just leave only one pic with my email
- Itachi
The other pics build empathy, encouraging a border-line thief to return the camera. Otherwise you may as well stick a label on the case and be done with it.

Does anyone else want to make out with this guy for being SO DAMN AWESOME? Srsly, total panty-dropper this one was.

wow, this is very close to being the most popular thing I have ever posted to Friendfeed. Just goes to show, um, something. Always use pictures?
- Alex Scrivener
I'm the opposite. I tend to ignore posts with photos (unless the post itself is just a photo). Why? The image usually detracts from the text and people spend time talking about the picture and making it clear they didn't bother to read the text or link.
- Admiral Anika
=/ (not about the original post. I already expressed how much I love it)
- Kamilah Gill
Or you could just put an address sticker on the camera...
- Alix Whitmire
No, the pictures try to build an emotional connection with the finder. It helps convince a not-so-honest person to return the camera rather than just keep it. It won't stop a real thief, but it could tip the odds in his favor. A sticker can't do that.
- Alex Scrivener
There should be a place in your camera for email address, like cell phones have "Home" so when you lose it, someone can call you. Hmmmm.
- anna sauce
I wouldn't ever think to go through pics, but if I found a lost cam (or phone or whatever) with an address clearly visible on it, I'd pop it in the mail, or call/email someone, no problem. Same holds true for some lost and found places. They might call you if there's easy contact info, but I don't see them taking the time to flip through photos to figure out how. Maybe do both?
- Alix Whitmire
I was putting a README.txt file on my USB sticks with contact info if it got lost. This is way better! Now take this board with your contact info.... smile, no! put a sad face.... and you're done!

Shab-e Yaldâ (Persian: یلدا) or Shab-e Chelleh (Persian: شب چله) is an ancient Iranian festival originally celebrated on the Northern Hemisphere's longest night of the year, that is, on the eve of the Winter Solstice. Yalda has a history as long as the Mithraism religion. The Mithraists believed that this night is the night of the birth of Mithra, Persian god of light and truth. At the morning of the longest night of the year the Mithra is born from a virgin mother.

I read that as rocks used for falling in love. Like cupid's arrow. Just hurl them at the one you want to fall in love with. This is how my mind works, people.

I wonder why there aren’t more people called “Snow”. We just accept Snow White as a normal name…Might call my 1st born Snow. - http://zee.me/status/252
@Zee C+Ped here in case you have no interest in clicking: "思 (pronounced ‘see’) is composed of two parts: 田 and 心. 田 is a pictogram and it means an agricultural field. 心 is a pictogram as well. It means heart. Putting both together means putting your heart on your field. The character 思 means to analyze and to think 明 (pronounced ‘ming’) is composed of two parts: 日 and 月 日 is the sun 月...

This is going to sound mean but there are still states out there where there are no laws that state you MUST wear a helmet on a motorbike. That fact doesn't make the above photo right. But it doesn't surprise me.

Thank...god/dess!!! I was wondering when they'd get around to putting this functionality on their system. Oh, and vote? Pidgin, especially after Digsby put all this ad crap in their recent version's install.

Is...Microsoft...wait........ Is Microsoft starting to wake up? ...from a bad dream? Should we start cheering for Microsoft now, or is it still too early?
- sebastian☆rocket brother
I'm cheering for them. I think they are reinventing themselves. It's not Balmer; someone else is doing all of this. Ray Ozzie perhaps?
- Michael Fidler
This is so cool. I'm going to try this with the highest resolution image that I have, which is really really big! I have something to do first, so give me 30 min.
- Michael Fidler
sjjh; it came out nice. I love the zoom feature!
- Michael Fidler
Hmmm....something about the design of Microsoft doesn't sit well with me...the clunkiness? the Live logos? I don't know. Just turns me off. Also, I just read this yesterday or so about some Microsoft product they're working on that will only be compatible with IE and Firefox only. Why not Chrome, Safari, Opera? ...It just feels closed and protected as much as possible.
- sebastian☆rocket brother
Michael - Thanks for sharing my article, glad you folks like Seadragon. Quite awesome isn't it? Works with Silverlight where its installed, AJAX where it isn't.

Mahendra; My pleasure! I think it's awesome, and I 'm looking forward to using it. I spent some time in livelabs today, and the photography division is one their most creative area's. This blew me away; Yosemite Extreme Panoramic Imaging Project 2008 http://xrez.com/yose_pr...
