PolaPremium.com is live!

This is the new online store dedicated to all things instant photography — cameras, film, accessories, and photography books.

Yet, what you see is just the tip of the instant iceberg. More goodies will be coming in the coming months. Watch the space. :)

OneWebDay

Not only is it the fall equinox in the northern hemisphere, it’s also OneWebDay. This year’s focus is “online participation in democracy”.

Also: I missed “Talk Like a Pirate Day” on Friday. Arrrrrrgh!

grrrgregg8tr ~ an AIR microbrowser for hellotxt

After publishing my last post regarding the want to cross-post stuff to Twitter, Pownce, and Plurk, I was reminded by a reader of the site HelloTxt by a reader, as it now has support for Plurk. I’d signed up there a while back but never used it. The main reason I never went back to it was because there was no desktop app to let someone post something to all the sites it supports without having to go to the actual site. (There is a Facebook app, yes; but it doesn’t count. ;))

Until now.

Now enter Grrrgregg8tr, an Adobe AIR app created by Rev. Dan. Problem solved. Squee! :) (If you have an account at HelloTxt, go download the app and try it out!)

plurk

I recently joined the Twitter-esque website Plurk. So far, it’s not bad. The only thing I’m hoping for is a desktop app so one can “plurk” without having to go to the site to do so. *nods* (Of course, for me, an app that would cross-post to Twitter and Pownce would be all sorts o’ awesome. ;))

much ado about nothing ~ the orphan works bill

I swear; if I see one more post on the internets by someone in a panic over the Orphaned Works Bill, I will be very tempted to ram my fist through my monitor. Or scream bloody murder.

For the last month, I’ve seen posts on either deviantART, Livejournal, or Polanoid where the basic sentiment has been, “ZOMG! Orphaned works bill means legalized art theft! Quick! Must. Strike. Law. Down! And paying beaucoup dollars to register every single piece we have created sux0rs!”

THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, PEOPLE! YOUR ARTWORK IS NOT BEING THREATENED!

For the good stuff, gotta go beyond the cut (regular blog + LJ readers).
