A while back I got a request to use one of my images that was posted to Flickr. The request was made because I had licensed the image with a Creative Commons license that encouraged non-commercial reuse. After a brief email chat I agreed to the proposed usage, and you can see my night photo of the San Antonio skyline at the San Antonio entry on the information about interesting cities in the world site known as Geoglob.
That was kind of neat, getting an unsolicited request to use one of my photos like that.
In a similar vein, local writer Ann Parr has used one of my images of the local Swedish dancers on her web site, where she promotes her fine books.
This next couple of items I initiated. One of them is a repeat performance, and the last is something I had never done before (though my radio work comes close).
A couple of weeks ago I posted a tip on how to specify tab names when using the terminal program that ships as part of the latest version of Mac OS X, known as Leopard. Yesterday I found out that my tip was accepted at the premiere Mac hints and tips site, Mac OS X Hints!
This marks the 4th tip I’ve had published at macosxhints.com; they get so much traffic that I’m reasonably sure my tips have helped at least a few other Mac users.
And finally, my first voice-over. This is the result of my responding to a broadcast request from a colleague; my prior radio experience did help just a little bit: HP Cloudprint Introduction.
