I've been tracking down quite a few image hijackers recently. These unscrupulous people choose to host web pages and use the images from another's webserver (in this case mine) for their site. Nevermind that they would probably never think to even ask for permission to use copyrighted images, but they go one step further. In the process of stealing my work they use my server to do it. Well, they did. No more. The really bad thing about it is that by doing this you're allowing someone else (me) to control what happens when people come to your site.

Jim Dalrymple comments on the Megapixel Myth joining the "Megahertz Myth" as technology folklore. As the article points out a four megapixel camera will produce 4 x 6-inch prints as well as five or seven megapixel cameras. As with purchasing faster computers consumers believe they are getting something for the extra megapixels - and they are - a need for more storage, slower downloads, more expensive memory cards. Unfortunately these are likely not what they want.

After much too long some older photos from Larimer County Search and Rescue are back online.

Preakness Notebook has a great picture of Smarty Jones. I really like the picture because it portrays the horse as a fun-loving comic figure. Smarty Jones' owners and trainers are hopeful that he will go on to become the only undefeated Preakness winner since Seattle Slew in 1977 and looking further ahead possibly the next Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.
