Cartier-Bresson photos posted by MiguelCardoso » June 17 10:09 AM | 13 comments. A Generous Brazilian Helping Of Cartier-Bresson's Photographs:His work is so vital it's unusually monitor-friendly. This 1999 Brazilian website includes many hard-to-find photographs, interestingly divided by location(Europe, America, India). There's also a nice selection of his classic images on Photology.com's commercial site and an avaricious but compelling set of portraits of writers here, courtesy of a Eastman Kodak-sponsored exhibition. [As far as I can tell, they're all copyright-cleared. Bring your old Leicas out...and despair!]. [MetaFilter] Some seriously great art. 7:44:40 PM  Permalink  comment []

Good one to bookmark Internet Hoaxes page. [JD's New Media Musings] Good one to bookmark. Today I got an email with a bunch of really old saws, including the Chevy Nova urban legend. What's funny, is that this email (and the same sorry bunch of stuff is included in dozens of web pages) is supposed to make fun of those who used other languages, notably Spanish, incorrectly, but is, in itself, a good example of poor Spanish. 7:23:05 PM  Permalink  comment []

Barbecue saude with applesauce recipe Barbecue Sauce. We've used this barbecue sauce on chicken and pork chops so far - they turned out very, very well! 1/2 [TheRedKitchen] Looks like a good one to me. 7:13:36 PM  Permalink  comment []

NPR Stupid Links Policy NPR's brutally stupid linking policy. NPR joins KPMG and other bastions of cluelessness by requiring that anyone who wishes to link to the NPR site fill in this form. No matter how deep or shallow your link is, NPR requires you to fill in this form. Linking to or framing of any material on this site without the prior written consent of NPR is prohibited. Please use this form to request permission to link to npr.org and its related sites. Gosh, I hope they don't take away my tote bag. Really, it beggars the imagination to think that anyone in this day and age could be this fatally stupid. If you agree, drop a note to NPR's ombudsman. Link Discuss (Thanks, Howard!) [bOing bOing] This is so stupid! So they're saying that we can't link to them without their permission? How Seems like a good way to make yourself irrelevant. I linked to a couple of their stories recently, but probably won't even visit their site again. And I'm a longtime supporter of KQED and through that NPR, but as I told them both in an email, I'm going to reconsider that support. If I send a link to someone who reads it using Hotmail, which frames links in emails, who is violating their policy? Me, I guess, because I sent the link without permission first, but how about the framing? The person I emailed who didn't have any choice? Microsoft because they frame the linked page? And Goolge has 10,500 pages linked. Did they have to fill out the form for each one? This is just incredibly braindead. 7:08:43 PM  Permalink  comment []
