There might not be a plausible way out of our country's financial mess. That's the opinion of Kevin Phillips, a former republican strategist who works as an economics commentator. What are the main problems? [P]hony Washington statistics and warped market measurements make it doubly hard to tell. The federal Consumer…

Because I have a tiny new camera (a Canon SD1100IS), I have lots of excuses for taking photos of familiar things. It’s amazing how taking photos forces me to see. It makes me appreciate many of those sights that I otherwise take for granted. With this new little camera, then, I had an excuse to go see.
BTW-my new camera, a Canon SD1100IS is a small moderately-priced consumer-level camera that is incredibly packed with features. It has so many features that I would bet that I’ll never use half of them. It’s an 8-megapixel, 3x optical zoom camera that measures only 3 1/2″ x 2″, small enough to take everywhere. Some of its features (including image stabilization) allow it to handle existing light photos fairly well (for those of you who haven’t yet sworn off cheap flash units, you might want to consider turning off your flash and noticing the difference). The problem with turning off the flash indoors is that many digital cameras do not offer a fast enough ISO to allow for a sharp image.
I admit that I processed these photos a bit, but only a bit. The only processing I used were a few of the features offered by Picasa, a well-designed (and free) photo organizing program from Google.
