Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed a great deal of information on a number of file storage/sharing services. Wow!
At Coco’s, we had a few ordering change-ups (just to see if Jordi was paying attention), and an animated discussion on the rather labyrinthine machinations of the Los Angeles metro mass transit systems.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

iPhone Photo Editing
Nick Heer has a very interesting piece on The Sweet Setup on editing photos that will remain electronic (as opposed to being printed). You gotta love an author whose mindset is summarized thusly:
…I’d like to ask you a question: What do you think of when I say “digital photo manipulation”?
