Interesting concept - Turn your Flickr photo's into cash
Monday, April 16, 2007
I like how new Web 2.0 sites and existing one always seem to find different niches or populations of users. I know some photography heads so when I heard about this new site, FlickrCash, which is the intergration of Flickr and eBay, I was immediately interested. It's got some pretty cool options, nice galleries of pictures on a particular subject, a good search engine to find specific photos, and options to "heart" or "hate" an image to remember later. Like take this gallery on Orange Flowers - found by FlickrCash, you get pages of full galleries with all kinds of pictures, it'll be easy to find any picture you want.
Seems like a great idea to me, check it out and let me know what you guys think.

Pretty crazy pictures, furniture from weapons
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
I'm going to go a little off course today to a little gem I found on Digg, yes there's news there that people haven't seen that is pretty interesting. It's a link from the Freshome.com blog, and it shows pictures from Cambodia, a country torn by 30 years of civil war, but not just any pictures. The pictures featured here are furniture that are made out of old weapons, gun barrels, etc. Some very nice furniture and great ideas. Here's a pic of my favorite
You can find the rest of the pictures HERE.Pretty cool isn't it? I like this kind of thing, makes you think a bit. Alright there's my feel good message for the day.
Enjoy,

I'm tired of these long Mondays!
Monday, January 29, 2007
Yea Mondays are the worst for me, I'm litterally non-stop from 7am until 8pm, so by the time I get home I'm pretty much done. Oh yea, you guys want some news don't you?
Well the most interesting thing I've found today was this picture of a comet on Flickr. It's McNaughts Comet in Australia, it's a really beautiful shot under some trees overlooking a lake. I don't want to steal the author's thunder so I'll just have you guys click there yourselves.
Other interesting news is that Sony's profits may be down 50% due to poor PS3 sales, which shouldn't help Sony in its cause. Also a piece from Gizmodo on the new 120hz HDTV's that are going to be coming out soon, which promise to help improve image quality drastically by dealing with the 24fps limit placed on movies. Interesting read.
Alright enough for now, more later as I find it, btw I'll have some Vista coverage tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Change of pace - Rooftop shot of Tokyo in HDR
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
I'm not a huge photography nut, I'll have to leave that to others (like Cass' photo blog and the Benspark) but I do appreciate a nice picture when I see it. This came to me via Digg, and it's beautiful. Check out the full photo HERE and enjoy the scenic view of Tokyo, Japan, in all it's beauty (with some HDR, lol).
Nice isn't it, alright more later,

Blog of the Night - The BenSpark
Saturday, January 06, 2007
I'm kinda lazy tonight and don't feel like posting about the things I usually post about (tech news, random real life junk, etc, lol) so instead I'm going to bring you guys a mini-review or highlight of this really nice looking Blogger blog The BenSpark.
The BenSpark, which is located at http://benspark.blogspot.com/, is a really nice blog written by Drew and Allison. Drew seems to have really modified the standard Blogger layout into a nice custom design. His focus is mainly on photography but he has a bunch of content on various things. I loved this picture he posted with Optimus Prime, (he's a big Transformers fan) which he posted HERE. There's a lot more but I'll leave it up to you guys to find out.
Check it out!
