My name is Jack Baty. I am a partner at Fusionary Media, which by the way is my favorite web shop in the whole world.

Automatic Camera situated 7 miles from blast with 10 foot lens. Shutter speed equaled 1/1000,000,000 of-a-second exposure. link.

I suddenly couldn’t care less about the wimpy Canon 5D I’ve been wanting. This sweet little **39 megapixel** Hassy needs me. And only a touch over $37,000. Say cheese.

Jesse James Garrett: MySpace: Design Anarchy that Works It came late to the market—so late, in fact, that by the time it launched, people were already declaring the product category dead. It offered no new technology—virtually every feature of the site was an imitation of something someone else had already done. It looked amateurish, lacking even the most basic level of visual consistency and appeal, never mind the high-gloss polish of its venture-backed competitors.

The best reason to use Adobe’s new Lightroom instead of Apple’s Aperture? It runs on my G5 iMac.

In Broken Flowers, Bill Murray says more by just sitting and staring at the camera for 30 seconds than many actors do yapping non-stop for two hours. An early scene showing Don Johnston (Bill) sitting on the sofa staring at a television is able to tell his whole story without saying a word. Directed by Jim Jarmusch, the film meanders along smoothly, spending most of its time on long, still shots of Don.

I find the following photo (by Philip Freedman) a little depressing. I’m wondering, why photograph the Mona Lisa? There’s probably 6 dozen postcards in the lobby with high quality photos of the painting. Also, using a cell phone will guarantee that the image is going to suck and it will probably end up being deleting anyway. Or is everyone simply going to message friends with a quick “hey, I saw the Mona Lisa!

I have literally hundreds of feeds nestled somewhat uncomfortably within my RSS aggregator. In recent months it seems that many of the authors I track have done nothing but rant and complain and whine. Yesterday I decided to clean up my subscriptions and remove those that add no value. I removed nearly one third half of them. For those of you I’ve cut (yes, I know you don’t care), here’s some advice… Bitching Adds Zero Value.

The Bubble Project’s goal is to free public spaces of corporate messages by allowing anyone to contribute to the “corporate monologue,” thereby transforming it into an “open dialogue.” So print some stickers already.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like you to meet Leeloo, our newest family member. !/files/leeloo1.jpg!

The Image Culture “…our patience for the creation of images has also eroded. Children today are used to being tracked from birth by digital cameras and video recorders and they expect to see the results of their poses and performances instantly. Let me see, a child says, when you take her picture with a digital camera. And she does, immediately. The space between life as it is being lived and life as it is being displayed shrinks to a mere second.

3QD is one the most interesting sites/blogs I’ve run into in a very long time. A few recently posted items to suggest its flavor… The Ethics of the New Brain Science ELEGANT TAXONOMY The Philosophy of Philosophy Testing Action at a Distance and other Quantum Weirdness Humans Do Not Understand Mirror Reflections A particularly interesting piece, Richard Dawkins, Relativism and Truth from Dec.
