JPG Magazine

How to best explain what JPG Mag is all about… How about quoting JPG Mag’s about section:

“JPG Magazine is for people who love imagemaking without attitude. It’s about the kind of photography you get when you love the moment more than the camera. It’s for photographers who, like us, have found themselves online, sharing their work, and would like to see that work in print.

JPG is a magazine. It’s published 6 times a year by 8020 Publishing. Check out the back issues. The photos in the magazine come from you!

JPG is a website. Here any photographer can join and upload photos to their member page. You can also submit your photos to issues and themes for consideration in the magazine.

JPG is a community. JPG exists because of, and exclusively for, photographers like you.”

Check out the photo I submitted for the JPG Mag Issue 7, themed Hometown.

Trying out Grouper

comparing Grouper’s quality with MotionBox. I uploaded this viodeo to both services.
See a previous post here for the MotionBox version

to view this video at Grouper click this:

Grouper is kind of a different video-sharing service. As they put it: “Use your webcam to record and upload. Use your webcam to comment on any video.”
There are possibilities for normal video uploads, and Grouper also has some freaky software they like you to download.
It’s called Grouper 2.0, your complete video sharing solution.

Testing Sharkle

What is Your World View?

1 Evolution is taking us closer to the spiritual realm, whatever that may be.
2 Anything can be reduced to simple understandable
3 Science can solve all problems and answer all questions, eventually.
4 The potential of the divine is within us.

With statements like that to agree or disagree with this quiz is bound to come up with some interesting findings ;-]

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

please look it up in your off- or on-line dyksjuhnerrie.

A great quality upload at Revver again.
This surely beats the rendering that YouTube offers. By the interlaced way I conclude they use a quite different software approach to flashing the uploads.
Promising, although I still see some amateuristic flaws in their interface and website [content and design] …
maybe I should write them…

The Hague topless sunbather on Google Earth

Here’s a cautionary tale for those of you who like to indulge in a bit of light sunbathing in the privacy of your own patio: make sure you ring Google to see if they’re planning a satellite pass-over before whipping of your top.
No sooner had the poor Dutch woman pictured here popped up on Google Sightseeing, than Digg got hold of her assets. This immediately prompted a heated debate – sadly not on the technological threat to privacy – but rather as to whether or not she really was enjoying her leisure time as nature intended.

Sadly, we may never know. Dutch TV quickly identified the address and moved in for the kill, dispatching a team armed with grabs from Google Earth to the sun-worshipping resident’s domicile. Luckily for her, she wasn’t in. ®
