I am trying to break some of my photography habits. So, here’s my new lo-fi photography site. No commentary, no interaction, no attempt to produce anything other than lo-fi snaps of things I point a crappy little iphone camera at.

Sad, I know, but I’m almost tempted. Dealbreakers: crappy resolution, no wireless connectivity. When the resolution improves, and I can auto-email the pics, I’ll get a pair. When they do that, they’ll be perfect for a project I’ve been developing.

I’m on a productivity upswing (I have made my peace with the fact that I have periods where I juggle about 47 projects at once, vs periods where all I do is watch the telly) at the moment, and this might help ensure it’s actaully sustainable.(tags: lifehacks productivity)

Chat about their forthcoming cookbooks, their approach to food, and what the future holds. I’m interested in their idea of 50 year cycles in cooking…

I do like distressed type, me.

Willpower is, apparently a finite resource – exercising it in one matter depletes the amount you have available to apply to other things. Good news though: exercising it regularly leaves you with more to go around.

An interactive on-line music video/teaser. Music companies could benefit from doing more of this sort of thing – this one is, very, er, rathergood, but it’s a music video and it’s viral. The principle could easily be applied to less kitten-related stuff.

This is superb stuff. I for one welcome our new grey goo overlords.

I don’t know that I agree with that specific argument (or that Williams does) – one is a reclamation of a derogatory term, the other the reverse – but it’s an interesting read regarding the attempt to police children’s use of language.

More cooking programs should be as relaxed and entertainng.

Must pop down and check this pub out in the next week or so. My birthday is coming up (keep March the 22nd free if you can folks) and I hear this a rather nice whisky bar, so if it’s half decent, I’ll probably be drinking there.

So true. So painfully, painfully true.

A safer means of allowing websites to access your contacts/addressbook data without having to give them your gmail password. Not that I know anyone who’d be stupid enough to do that, right?

Wikipedia article on “Earth’s second moon”. I was dimly aware that earth had more than one satellite, but this is so much cooler than I had first thought when I heard about it…

I love his perspective on the world, and really, really must get to a talk by him at some point.

OK, you can’t draw an exact cause-and-effect line, but that line to a history of “Hallelujah” that I posted the other week did the rounds (I think I got it off Waxy), and suddenly, Jeff Buckley’s version of the song is the top selling track on iTunes.

An astonishing account of a photojournalist that did, well, exactly what he says, while covering a story in Colombia. Utterly compelling and thought provoking.

I love Lightroom for working on images and library mangement, but it doesn’t half take ages to impport stuff. If I can use this for a first-pass step, it might be quicker…
-
I suspect this will also work in Lightroom, which is handy, because the current cross-processing filter I have in LR is for shit, so instead, I shall build my own.

A short cultural history of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. If, like most people, you think it’s always been a relentlessly sad song, you should probably read this.

Friend and professional mad bastard Hugh Hancock has finally managed to get himself a home waterbath suitable for cooking in. I urge you all to learn about his progress in Cooking With Science, because it’s both informative and fucking funny.

Just, y’know, in case it should ever be handy.

This is just fucking stupid. I’m fine with keeping an eye out. But picking specific things to advertise as potential terrorist activity is just asking for trouble. Whoever came up with this one must be a special kind of moron.
