Let’s get this out of the way–I work on the internet and I consider myself a power user. I make no claims as to the efficiency of my methods, they are just what works for me.

After using Google’s Picasa for a while, I’ve decided to (finally) start using Flickr. I’ve loved the site since day one, but I haven’t used it much for sharing photos.

I just checked out a nightly of Wordpress 2.7 (officially 2.7-hemorrhage) and there are some pretty nice changed to it. Obviously you can see that the layout has been improved from the 2.5 style, plus there is an admin color scheme changer! The darker palette (top) is way better than the bottom one, and much [...]
