Terrific aerial photo of farm combines from Jim Richardson. Check out Jim’s behind-the-scenes post. (And Safari-using photo nerds, note the huge color shift when viewing one version of the image vs. the other. It kills me that Web developers refuse to “get” color mgmt. in any reasonable way.)
Tips (including a video) on doing complex multi-photo layouts using only Lightroom.
Chinese pigeons take a cue from Iranian missiles. [Via]
Long exposures of bugs under a street light. (45 sec)
Cool photos from Shuttle Endeavour’s visit to the International Space Station. (I especially love this one.)
MIT researchers create photo-sensitive fabric. (Future: Photog takes pix of clothes taking pix of photog…?)

Leave it to the graphics folks to assume Photoshop is at work. Hasn’t anyone considered the possibility that China simply leads the US in genetic engineering?

Is anyone else hearing a strange artifact of noise when first logging into this site or returning to it from a link? Lately my speakers feed me an odd chirp everytime I come here.
[Yeah, I think there's something weird with a video embedded down the page. I've just gotta write more so that it drops off the screen. ;-) --J.]

And, of course, us Firefox nerds as well ;)
[Ah yes, it's finally on by default now, isn't it? I plan to share a guest blog post about that soon. --J.]
