Blog of the Week

I take a lot of pictures. If I am headed out to some sort of event, vacation, expo, party, whatever; I like to drag my little point and shoot with me. Back in the days of 35mm film I used to take entire weekends alone and walk the city, Valley Forge, and various other places looking for new photogenic spots. I truly enjoyed walking under the Ben Franklin Bridge at night and finding new lighting and textures that were never present in the day time. One of these days I'll get a nice DSLR and pick the hobby back up. I do miss it. In the meantime I still like to keep up with the world of photography.



Digital Photography School is an excellent resource for all questions digital photography. From the site: "DPS is a community of digital photographers of all experience levels who gather around a number of blogs and a forum to learn, share and grow in their understanding of photography." Articles on the site are provided by both the administrators of the site and by the general public. They are always looking for new submissions, regardless of your technical knowledge. If your submission is well composed and offers new and useful information, they want it. The site is broken into three main sections:

Photography Tips & Tutorials where the focus is, obviously, based around the camera itself and its uses. This can range from simple techniques for framing the perfect shot to more advanced approaches to lighting.

Cameras and Equipment goes in-depth into the tools of the trade. Here you'll find reviews for the latest technology from point-and-shoots to the most advanced DSLRs available on the market. But there is more to photography than just the camera and they review all the ancillaries too; camera bags, lenses, flashes, software and hardware. The reviews come from professional in the field, so expect a thorough and comprehensive review. Torn between the new Canon ELPH and the Sony Cyber-Shot? Now you know where to get a review of each.

Post Production is where you go to get the tips and tricks to making your picture stand out after the shot has been taken. I am usually reluctant to play with my pictures in post production, not so much because I'm worried I'll mess up the picture but more because I have no clue where to start. The features in this section range from the simple removing red-eye and delve deep into the advances applications of Photoshop. This not just a Photoshop tutorial section, in this section there is also a wealth of information ranging from easy ways to manage the storage of your photos to the latest advances in online programs.

So go take a look at the site and then go outside and take a few pictures. The site will inspire you!

Jury Doody

SAN DIEGO - A San Diego judge has declared a mistrial in a kidnapping and assault case after the defendant smeared excrement on his lawyer's face and threw it at jurors. The judge boosted defendant Weusi McGowan's bail from $250,000 to $1 million after the Monday incident.

Prosecutor Christopher Lawson says McGowan was upset because the judge refused to remove public defender Jeffrey Martin from the case.

McGowan had smuggled a bag of feces into court and spread it on Martin's hair and face before flinging the excrement at jurors. No jurors were hit.

McGowan has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and other counts in connection with a 2007 home invasion.

The Don Rickles Project

I watched this a couple days ago and it was hilarious. Don is fucking awesome. Somehow he can make the most offensive jokes and it doesnt seem to bother anybody. Awesome interviews and old Vegas footage. I highly recommend it. Freebone would probably love this.

Man Kills Wife for Changing Facebook Status to 'Single'


We've seen some bizarre Facebook stories in the past, and have warned you on how information on the site can cause people to lose their jobs, but we've never heard a story quite as sad as this. According to the BBC and the Stafford Crown Court, 41-year-old Edward Richardson of Staffordshire, England, killed his estranged 26-year-old wife, Sarah, after she changed her Facebook status to "single."

Facebook allows users to indicate their relationship status and what they're looking for (romantic relationships, friendships, etc.). The couple had already separated, and Sarah, a hairdresser, had apparently already given up hope of reconciliation. She changed her status to single on her profile, an act that enraged Edward. After receiving a barrage of angry calls and text messages from her estranged husband, Sarah stopped responding.

I'm not a fan of the Star Wars movies. The first three were ok, the episode 1 was fucking awful and i never bothered with 2 or 3. This video sums up pretty well all you need to know about the Star Wars.
