O'Reilly Digital Media Center

A cool new resource has surfaced for those into digital media (photography and other digital media). O'Reilly Digital Media Center

From PhotographyBLOG:


"As our digital media books continue to roll off the presses, we realized that we hadn't provided an online meeting place for this community. As of today, that's changed. Welcome to our new Digital Media site." -- Derrick Storey

Its obvious that the site is there to promote their books, but it also contains some interesting articles and interviews.

How to deal with a spinner

Finally someone has given us an example to follow on how to deal with a spinner.

Chris Matthres of the MSNBC program Hardball nails Michelle Malkin to the wall for trying to spin John Kerry as having shot himself to earn a purple heart.

[Update] Here you can see the video without having to install Bit Torrent (if it wasn't already)

Quentin Tarantino blog

A cool new blog has surfaced. Apperantly its Quentin Trantinos own blog. From the writing I have read so far it seems likely it is. Judging from how he usualy communicates in interviews etc.

BTW: If you are a Quentin fan, you might just get a blast out of Christen Nelsons story about her chance meeting with Quentin


[Update] It is a fake, according to Tarantino's publicist.

RSS gaining ground in the newspaper world

It seems the big newspapers are picking up RSS. It has been happening for a good while here in Norway. All the major newspapers have RSS-feeds of news from their online editions, and almost none of them require registration or payment to read their news.

So its interesting to see the big newspapers in the US taking up RSS more and more.

OJR article: Dear Bloggers: Media Discover Promotional Potential of Blogosphere

NYTimes.com now has 27 categories of feeds, while sister site Boston.com has 13 feeds available. Catherine Levene, vice president of business development and strategy at NYTD told me via e-mail that RSS feeds bring in between 1 million and 1.5 million page views per month for the site. And now there's a link for readers to add RSS feeds within the navigation bar that runs on the bottom of every page on the NYTimes.com site.
