Pictures From Slutwalk Seattle 2012
I had a really fun time yesterday down at Slutwalk Seattle 2012. I am also very glad that I had my press cred’s as an e-mail as I got asked at least four times about why I am here and what am I doing before we even made it to Westlake for the rally. [...]
Working on some alternatives to Smugmug
I have been working on some alternatives to Smugmug over the last 24 hours since I finally bit the bullet and decided that it is time to go, as I explained here yesterday.

Google Hacking Google Images for Facebook and Other social sites
Mining social networking sites for some downright interesting pictures of people doing things could not be easier. The bad part is that it is very easy to do, the good part is that adding pictures to your privacy settings is going to be something you want to do. There are basically five web sites that [...]
