THE RUBBER FRAME

“The Rubber Frame was a comics exhibition in October 2004. Actually, it was two gallery exhibitions, along with an accompanying book of essays dealing with comics and culture. One of the shows, American Underground and Alternative Comics, 1964-2004 (curated by Todd Hignite at the Des Lee Gallery in downtown St. Louis) included a wall-size mural done by me. Here are some of the gory details from the mural’s creation and it’s short life.”

Digital photography workflow on a Macintosh | Ask MetaFilter

The software bundled with the camera seems questionable, and iPhoto drives me nuts. What do other amateur (or professional) photographers use to manage their photographs? Will iPhoto do the job? What habits should I develop? What software should I use? Any tips or tricks to help ease me into the world of digital photography?”

Recent pieces from AP and CNET are pushing this spin, going on and on and on about the risks. Except for, it’s all a bunch of BS. For most people, blogging is a career-booster, both in your current job and when you’re looking for your next one.
