The web has book review blogs by the score, but every so often one comes along that promises to be something special and different. Welcome The Discarded Image.
From the “About” page: “This blog is an exploration of my changing model and those images which I have discarded, for good or bad (that will be a [...]

This morning my wife went down to the kitchen to get some coffee when she spied the beauty in this picture right up against our kitchen window. It’s devouring an insect nearly as large as itself (one of our many carpenter bees, I suspect).

I invite my readers to check out my new humor blog, PublicLens (http://publiclens.blogspot.com).
PublicLens is a never ending parade of the bizarre, the beautiful, and the befuddling from that most ubiquitous of spies: the cell phone camera. The phone cam has created an explosion of imagery and made it available (in many cases) for all to [...]

Daniel is one of the [...]

“What’s on your mind?”
That one little question signals the recognition of a sea change in the social media world.
This past week Facebook rolled out another Facelift of the homepage seen by its subscribers. Among the many flashier changes, it would be easy to miss the one I think is most significant. To prompt a user [...]

[WARNING: Vain and perhaps foolish attempt ahead to try to justify promoting a friend's blog as a worthy post given the theme and focus of his blog.]
I like What Chris Likes. Chris Martin (no, not that Chris Martin, let’s get that out of the way) was one of our housemates in Philadelphia for all too [...]

Mark lives in Durham, NC, with his wife and pet Macbook Pro. He has two married daughters and six grandchildren, and currently freelances as an Internet marketer.
