Eroding Photography Rights

Thursday, October 16th, 2003

I found this article on Eroding Photography Rights and I was amazed but then again, why does it seem that anything that we do as a hobby or as a profession, the government finds a way to screw with it. I am really not all that surprised to hear about the Australian government [...]

Thursday, October 16th, 2003

Well… after only a few minutes of testing I can say that Mozilla Firebird is definitely a faster web browser. Time will tell if it is really better or not and how stable it is… of course it is only version 0.7 so you can’t expect it to be absolutely stable… but pretty impressive [...]

Tuesday, October 7th, 2003

After listening to Hannity’s statements on the radio today, I decided to check the actual Statement on the Interim Progress Report on the Activities of the Iraq Survey Group — report from David Kay.
