Moving Images, Music

So let's start off with images today. Flickr you know, but sometimes it can be a little difficult to find the image you're looking for.
This is the nicest way to surf that image collective that I've found. But Flickr was invented as a game. Images over IM you passed around to one another or something, and there's still something playful about the site. However, I find it's better as a place to throw up images fast and easy, as opposed to a place to deposit our entire collection. For that we use
smugmug. It's $40 for the year, but supereasy to link to, and there's no snapfish/kodakgallery signin/up bullshit every time you want to check out a friend's vacation.
But images that don't move are a little passe at this point.
YouTube is blowing up but there's a lot more on it and out there than just silly teenagers and stupid pets.
Rocketboom's 3min tech stories gets a ton of hits daily, and has been around for a while.
Blinkx.tv opens up the videoweb in a way I haven't seen before. The list goes on and on. I can't wait to find it all.
Oh and I can't resist talking about music just a little bit.
Pearl Jam's new album Pearl Jam is quite good, and the
All Songs Considered podcast of
the boy least likely to thoroughly entertained me as I chilled at
Zeitgeist, sipping a
Racer 5. Check'em out; the beer, the music, the moving images. For me, though it's gametime. Softball calls.
