I read a while ago that the LIFE photography archive was on Google, but I didn’t really think about it until I stumbled across it while checking out the new version of CoolIris, which I’ve mentioned before.
On a whim, I tried looking for the famous cover photo of the LIFE article on the Lindy Hop.

On Josh Spear’s suggestion, I decided to try out Poladroid. In a nutshell, it turns your digital images into crappy Polaroids.
A photo I took last night of Hubert of übergizmo and Brian of Gizmodo at the uber10 party
At first I thought, What’s the big deal? John already has a polaroid framer and the uber-insane Hockneyizer. [...]
A friend of mine, a colleague and excellent photographer who happens to be a defense-of-marriage person posted a status update that erupted into a firestorm of comments on Facebook. His claim was that people like me are “intolerant” of his beliefs.
To those people, I might say disagreement is not intolerance. I’m not asking you to [...]
California is the swingiest of swing states. In recent memory, two Republican presidents were governors here. Now it is bluer than the balls of all those fratboys voting for Sarah Palin. Even though the Presidential election in this state is a foreground conclusion, you still get a lot of mail

I have a friend who loves Sex and the City and recently moved into San Francisco. “Glad to hear you’re enjoying ‘the City.’ Now on to the ‘Sex and…’ part ,” I wrote her.
Her reply: “I am already loving the city so much. But the “Sex and” part won’t be quite as exciting. I’m [...]
A random post on my stalker feed brings me back of the last party
…
“Are you single?” It’s the second time at the party, Alex has asked that. The internal dialog is now in fine form.
This is San Francisco, shouldn’t you ask if I’m gay first?, “Stop trying to fill out a social networking registration page, [...]
Yeah, the worst kept secret.
Yeah, I have to eat a little crow.
Yeah, I’m so getting one.
The last Cody’s Books is closing. Years ago, I would go to one on Telegraph when visiting my brother, who reads even more than me.
I can’t believe it.
Cody’s.

My computer has a GPS in it using the same SIRFstar III chipset as my hiking handheld, which also doubles as my cycling GPS.
On the Mac, it appears as a “USB-serial” device whose driver is made by Prolific Technology which, coincidentally, makes the driver for my camera GPS receiver. Like all SIRFstar III GPSs, getting [...]
I eavesdropped on a twitter discussion between Jim and Adam on UDMA cards. As outlined in this article, not all cameras can take advantage of UDMA cards, but my Nikon D3 (and D300) are among them. Also, the read speed means faster downloads.
So it’s worth mentioning that Mark Jen pointed out this deal on high [...]
