Meanwhile, a revolution unfolds in Iran Boing Boing

Meanwhile, a revolution unfolds in Iran Boing Boing

Here is a good place to begin learning about the "revolution?" in Iran.

Iran, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook

I am amazed by the amount of information on the situation in Iran available on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. A year ago I used these tools when the airport in Bangkok was closed. I have ignored the communication tools since then, except for friendship and exploring my own interests.

Last night I watched the movie Hotel Rwanda. I wonder if people had used these new means of communication during the Rwanda massacre whether the world would have ignored the genocide?

English Russia » All This Dubai

Sort of beyond comprehension, I wonder how Dubai will evolve in 20 or 40 years, how will it adapt to everyday human life?

The Best Walking Partner: Man vs. Dog - Well Blog - NYTimes.com

Actually my dog makes me walk! She is persistent in reminding me of my obligation to go out with her. She also makes me transition from walking her to running her. I walk because it makes my dog happy! Here are photographs again of the pest! The photo is her looking at me saying "hurry up"!

College Road, Illinois Street, Minnie Street, Johansen Expressway, and Old Steese Highway Web Site

I have created three web sites based on walks that I took from Danby Street to Cushman Street including College Road, Illinois Street, Minnie Street, Johansen Expressway, and Old Steese Highway. I am trying to document an area that is changing quickly.

Multimedia of the Month: Is online ideal for images? | RESOLVE — the liveBooks photo blog

Multimedia of the Month: Is online ideal for images? | RESOLVE — the liveBooks photo blog

My inclination is to agree with this post, if the criteria for sharing photographs is for somebody to look at them, with thought and reflection, maybe the web does not do that. I know I tend to glance at, rather then look at photographs on the web. But if the goal of sharing on the web is to make your photographs available to be looked at, the web is amazing.

The dilemma is to turn awareness into observation. I am constantly buying photo books that I have discovered through the web. The web made me aware of the photographs, but the possibility of getting a book made me want to get the book to look at the photographs.

Stephen Cysewski: Wandering Photography Web Sites (Stephen Cysewski: Wandering Photography)

Stephen Cysewski: Wandering Photography Web Sites (Stephen Cysewski: Wandering Photography)

This is an experiment using Google Sites, a free web site tool and Picasa Web Albums. It is an alternative method to share my photographs that integrates with Blogger and my web sites. I can create a slide show for each of my Web Albums. I still have things to enhance, but I am impressed by the tools. Check it out.
