OH MY GOD
kfan:
I just had to say it somewhere public.
I see you’re having a week like I’m having.
Oh, bother!
My friend Kathryn alerted me to this little bit of fun this morning: the music site lala.com has taken concert photos from dozens of Flickr users, downloaded and cropped them, and are using them in their artist pages. There is a small link back to flickr, but no real photographer credit (e.g. a name). Some people might not have a problem with this, but it irks me. I think it’s great when...

We were on vacation in the Virgin Islands this past weekend, and were seated at breakfast one table over from a group of people talking about how “the Left are really convinced that the last election was actually stolen from them”.
