This Week In Photography

So, if you are interested in photography, TWIP might be a blog, podcast and vidcast for you. Excellent photographers and well-known authors all join hands to bring you their best tips and information about all things photography and photography software. Check it out. You can find TWIP on iTunes as well.

For example this entry on print size is a nice example of good advice you can get on the blog. (Update 2010-12-05: Some of the old blog entries are now available on www.photofocus.com)

Word 2007 has blog capabilities

A lot of you out there probably know this, but Word 2007 has blog capabilites that seems to work even with open source blog servers, like my blog server based on Serendipity. This entry was actually written in Word 2007. The integration with MOSS 2007 is of course better than with my little server, but even this little feature is a sign that MS is trying to open their view of integration. I’m quite impressed so far. More to come later!

Update: What is more of a shocker is probably that I didn’t test this until recently. I’ve after all had Office 2007 installed on my job-laptop for several months.

Philosophy corner?

I recommend you go read this little article on cosmicvariance.com. It’s quite philosophical, but it deals with how time is something that goes only one way, and not the other – The Arrow of Time. The talk is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which basically says that if you have a closed system that everything will flow into an equilibrium, where the differences in energy levels are so low that no further reactions or actions is possible. To put it in other words, if you put some ice-cubes in a glass they will melt to water, but without some outside help that water will never turn into ice-cubes again. An article like that fires off my brain, give it a read and see what you think. As usual I found this one at The Bad Astronomy Blog.
