You’re Now Officially Free To Shoot In Public...
It’s a often-heard story: a photographer is shooting in a public place and security shoos them away, or worse, takes them into custody. Thanks to a recent settlement with the NYCLU, however, all federal personnel should be aware and adhere to a clarified set of rules and, in the end, allow photogs to shoot away. The Information Bulletin, after the jump, state clear that almost all photographic...

Google Testing Display Ads In Gmail
What did you guys THINK would happen? Nothing is free. Users of Gmail’s web client are reporting a most unwelcome new visitor to their communication service: display ads. The right-most column that Google reserves for ads has heretofore been populated only by easy-to-ignore text links, but as of the past few of days, image-based advertising has also been sneaking out to unsuspecting...

Amazing Digital Animal Paintings
Award-winning editorial cartoonist Patrick LaMontagne doesn’t have to go far to find the inspiration for his animal paintings. He lives in the Canadian Rockies, just outside of Banff National Park, so looking out his windows is enough to get the creative juices flowing. These are pretty spectacular. He uses Photoshop so if you’re interested in how he paints, check the source link....

My Blog Is My Diary
I’ve been keeping up my blog now for about 6 months and the funniest thing has happened: My blog has turned into my diary. I touched on this briefly back in October of last year. Back then, I was using Tumblr for my main host and I was still getting started on what I wanted my blog to be as well as trying to find the right service for me. I’ve tried a lot of different platforms...

Really Republicans?
So let me get this straight. Republicans want to do away with health care? Republicans want to end federal arts, humanities agencies, and aid to public broadcasting? AND Republicans now want to get rid of Net Neutrality? Seriously?! My Republican friends, I’ve got an open (well a slightly ajar) mind. I’d love to hear why you think disbanding / repealing these elements would be better...
