trips down memory lane Comments

Related to a previous post regarding great 80’s cartoons, I stumbled upon a great 30 minute mix of 80’s cartoon intros.  Needless to say it was a fantastic trip.  You quickly realize there was a lot of great stuff that you remember very fondly, and then a bunch of stuff you’ve never heard of and [...]

eagerly awaiting gallery 2.2 Comments

Two features that have been a long time coming –

Virtual Albums — aka "Flickr style tags"
Improved Watermarking support

WWW Tour 2.27.07 Comments

Overprice Tags — In the back of my mind I knew this was a problem, but I had no idea how bad it really is.  Are these sheer profits or do these academic publications sponsor things?  Does it go to the authors? 
Catching up with the times –  I’m surprised it took so long for [...]
