Photographer’s Quickie Legal Guide
Intellectual property attorney Bert P. Krages II has developed a on page pdf file detailing the rights of photographers. He encourages photographers to make copies and carry them in their wallet, pocket, or camera bag for quick access.
Confrontations that impair the constitutional right to make images are becoming more common. To fight the abuse of your right to free expression, you need to know your rights to take photographs and the remedies available if your rights are infringed.

This is handy. Not all freeware on your desktop do have an automatic notification system to warn you that a new version of the program exist.
This is a useful site which maintains a list of all the latest version of the most common freeware available on the net.
It is always a good idea to keep an up-to-date version of your program, especially nowdays with stories of security holes and malicious PC attacks via malware.

What Is RSS? RSS Explained - www.WhatIsRSS.com
What Is RSS? RSS Explained - www.WhatIsRSS.com
I have found out that there are still a lot of people out there who do not fully appreciate the power of RSS…
RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
I myself was a late comer. In fact, I got into RSS when I re-discovered the beauty and elegance of the best browser on the planet, Firefox.
Here is a site I found from Clif’s Newsletter which will shed light on one of the most useful tool for surfing the web.

Toward a Better Digg
A good review of the current social bookmarking tools out there. I am just perplexed that del.icio.us was omitted.
My current social bookmarking habits:
Digg: I am more a passive user of this tool. Digg is a fantastic way to monitor the stories or sites which get the biggest number of hits or ‘digg’. Most of my items on the my del.ico.us linkroll on the right of my blog are from monitoring Digg.com (via my Blackberry).
Del.icio.us: In contrast to Digg, I do not actively monitor top links/tags on Del.ico.us. Rather, I make use of the tool’s powerful online bookmarking facilities which are highly customisable and nicely integrated with Firefox.
Clipmarks: Now, I not only do I monitor top links on clipmarks.com but I am also a fervent user: I regularly use it to spread bits of the web among my friends, through my blog and the net community at large. I also used to file interresting web items for my private use.
StumbleUpon: A wonderful tool to discover fantastic web sites. Very addictive to the point I had to disable it on my browser as I getting get hooked and wasted a lot of time at the expense of the above more useful tools.

Packet Knowledge
This is a great animated video explaining the basics of how the internet works. You can follow the animated packets as they travel across the vast internet.
The background for this movie is very simple, we found that in the fast transition from the Telcom world to the Internet world that the Telco industry is now experiencing, many people who had been working with traditional Telco systems, had difficulty grasping how the Internet worked. They tried to map their old knowldege into a new world without much success.
An example of this is the issue of multiplexing, a cornerstone of the traditional circuit switched network. To give these people a picture of the net we created this movie, to show how the Internet works. Not to give a complete picture but just an overview of the different components that you find in this type of network.
