• I just used Jeffrey Friedl’s groovy (and free) little “Export to Facebook” Lightroom Plugin, and it worked without a hitch. Thanks, Jeffrey. [Via Eric Scouten]
• PhotoCliches.com is full of, well, just that. (Who knew the Lynndie England pose was so popular?)
• Viva Cheap:
  • Photojojo shows how to Make Your Own 3D Camera for $15 or Less.  (Somewhere Russell Brown is buying superglue.)
  • Who says the iPhone’s camera sucks? Let’s see your D3X do this, tough guy! [Via]
