Nice to see that photography still holds claim to fun. I might need to block some time for exploring this.

Spamming Punks
Just had to delete a bunch of comment spam from my Blogger blog. It seems they’ve found a way to override the word verification. Perhaps someone is manually posting. Anyway, I don’t read Japanese and the links looked, uh, suspicious. Wretched, infernal spammers!
Remembrance and Resurrection
It seems fitting that we remember the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King on this day where we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, as his message is timeless and immortal.

The Global Sociology Blog has pulled some graphics from The Guardian. Tells an interesting story about global military spending.
Focus
I'm something of a news junkie. Ok, to put it better, I spend way too much time on any given day following news items. Following links like some follow shiny objects. And I get way too worked up…WAY…over certain items. These are things I have no control over. In Franklin-Covey parlance, they are outside my sphere of influence. Things that I should NOT invest ANY emotional energy into. Finding a way to spend less time, more focused time is paramount. My time is becoming more constrained with each passing day, or so it seems. Certainly, I need to stop reading the comments, as, for the most part, they're inane.
Of course, the fact that no one else seems to take an interest in my, uh, interests tells me something as well. Ce va!

Social Media & Outlook Note
Just an FYI to everyone out there, I’ve noticed that Outlook 2010 captures pictures from social media sites, most commonly Facebook. This includes people who are not in my address book. If you send me an email, it looks like Outlook will compare the email to the social media sites and locate any pictures associated with it. So, if you send me (or someone around here with 2010) a resume (for instance) and have your profile picture set to a drunken, naked, or otherwise inappropriate pose, we’ll all see it, in all its glory.
