I came across this handy posting that explains what RAW files are and why you might want to use them on your digital camera.

I make no claim of being a great photographer (evidence here), but if I just had a dime for every time I hear someone knowingly say ‘Yeah, I shoot everything in RAW and post-process it in Photoshop’ but their in camera composition is absolute crap. Please, learn some basic camera and composition skills before you go blowing wind about your ‘post-processing workflow’. And having a $2000USD camera that you shoot everything in auto-mode isn’t terribly impressive. Oh, don’t get me started…

I am not sure what to make of the new Diigo service that just launched this week. Seems to be yet-another digg meets google notebook idea. The ability to attach sticky notes to sites that others can view reminds me of a similar (IE-only) function that a startup floated back in the mid-90s that crashed and burned due to legal actions by sites that had unfavorable comments attached to them.

Overall, Im struggling to find a reason to use this tool versus what I already have.

Thankfully, AirPower has nothing to do with militancy. Rather it is a community effort that is worthy of support. The intent is to provide a wiki to hold the locations of power outlets in airports around the world. It is off to a modest start now, but seems to have more entries every time I check into it.

I intend to map out some power outlets at the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport on my next trips.

Overplot is a hilarious mashup between the ‘Overheard in New York City‘ site and Google Maps that lets you place the quotes on a map. Some are stupid, some are dark, some are profane, but they are reflect the weirdness that is reality in a big city.

Warning: this is a tremendous time waster.
