I’m currently testing out Zooomr as a possible alternative to Flickr and I like most of what I see thus far. Except the speed. They seem to be using a shared C=64 hosting service or something of similar slowness. Perhaps they should tend to the servers before trying to bump up the number of users.

At least it isn’t as slow as second life

Shameless self promotion in order to get a free upgrade to the Zooomr Pro account . . .

Here’s a picture that’s hosted on zooomr :

Hey, geotagging that isn’t brain-dead and works with Safari browser, unlike Flickr. Cool.

I think we’re not far off from the dot.bomb 2.0

Fred does it again.

ah, yep. That’s something to look up to and emulate, alrighty. The American Way of War.

I found an air show photography guide for beginners article today that sounded like something I might want to do this summer.

After reading half ways thru this article, I realized that I’ll never go to an air show in the usa, based solely on the insanely stupid security measures that are mentioned when it comes to no back packs, no umbrellas, no folding-chair-cases, and presumably no tripod-cases either, etc etc.

What a bunch of croc. If somebody wants to blow up planes at an air show, they can surely find many many ways of doing so without needing any of the above verboten items. Unbelievable.

Cringely says it all.

Not much else I can add to the iPhone analysis right now, other than another possible reason why Apple will have a tight hold on what 3rd party programs can be put onto the device. DRM. They don’t want someone to potentially install something that could circumvent the DRM on iTunes content. At least that’s my theory.
