iPHOTO FROM APPLE APPEARS
to be the gold standard when it comes to easily moving photos from camera to computer and manipulating the files in all manner of ways until you're content. Does anyone know of a single Windows application that is roughly comparable to iPhoto? That will be part of the solution to these things:
Digital photography the Lomography way?. Though I'm far, far from being an "artiste" of a photographer, I want to do neat things with my camera. I want to capture some moments, some feelings, try some odd things. It's like hacking with light. I see the kinds of things done with the Lomo cameras, warm and... [0xDECAFBAD]

GUYS WITH BIG HANDS HAVE
trouble holding some of these tiny cameras steady. A day will come when someone will begin to plot photo quality against camera size and weight. This won't be a function of optics, but of handling! It will be interesting to see how this form factor from Sony is received.
The tiny Sony DSC-U10. Sony has today announced their smallest and lightest digital camera the DSC-U10. This tiny 1.3 megapixel digital camera weighs in at just 118 g (4.2 oz) fully loaded, has a fixed focal length lens, one inch... [Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)]

LOST BY WHOM?
Answer: Liberal judges who believe they sit at the center of the universe
In 1984, several liberal members of the Supreme Court, including Thurgood Marshall, Harry Blackmun, John Paul Stevens and William Brennan, said references like ``In God We Trust,'' which appears on United States currency and coins, were protected from the Establishment Clause because their religious significance had been lost through rote repetition.
The dissenting judge in today's ruling, Ferdinand F. Fernandez, 63, who was appointed to the bench in 1989 by President Bush's father, expressed concerns that ruling could also be applied to other expressions of patriotism. ``We will soon find ourselves prohibited from using our album of patriotic songs in many public settings,'' he wrote. ```God Bless America' and `America the Beautiful' will be gone for sure, and while the first and second stanzas of `The Star-Spangled Banner' will still be permissible, we will be precluded from straying into the third.''

THIS SUITS MY MOOD THIS MORNING
HOW TO AIR BIN LADEN TAPES: Reader Craig Demel has some advice:
Since the last couple tapes have been devoid of any references to
post-December events, bin Laden is probably dead, and what we're
seeing is greatest-hits footage, in a transparent attempt to convince
us he's not.
So my idea for news organizations trying to decide how or whether
to air new tapes which surface is, air them, then say, "Oh, we've
also got a _new_ videotape from the Three Stooges", then show
Larry, Moe, and Curly slapping each other and yelping and growling.
Ah, a wise guy, eh? Why I oughta. . . [InstaPundit]

AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGINS OF THE USA
and the history at the time our founders debated this country's "belief system," is essential to interpretting its key founding documents. The notion that "all of this" can't evaporate in the blink of an eye is the height of arrogance. What this country was founded to be and what many, if not most, of us were born into is citizenship in a country with very specific beliefs. Each one is left to decide whether they want to be a citizen of that country.
I guess people who don't believe in the Great Turtle in the Sky are going to be outcast and forgotten. [Scobleizer Radio Weblog]

ASSUMING HE WASN'T BOMBED INTO THE HEREAFTER
at Tora Bora, it certainly would boost morale and reinvigorate the USA's drive to find Osama and some of his closest friends in a mountain hideout right about now.
Kunar Mountains May Be al-Qaida Base. About 100 U.S. soldiers, accompanied by 50 Afghan fighters, are scouring the rugged mountains in an area where a former Taliban official says Osama bin Laden maintained several hide-outs. [AP World News]
