Another random, recent photograph
This is the aquarium at The Mirage in Las Vegas, on March 24, 2006.
I had no tripod with me, but the combination of image stabilization and high ISO allowed me to make a reasonably sharp image handheld, while Photoshop let me bring out the colour by removing the bluish cast and glare from the glass. The use of high ISO did, however, introduce considerable noise which some may find objectionable.

Odat, all the pictures on my web site are copyrighted, but I'm giving you permission to use it as your computer background at work, so enjoy! :) Let me know if you would like a higher-resolution copy to match your screen resolution. The original picture is 3504 x 2336 pixels and I can scale it to whatever resolution you like, just let me know what it is (1024x768, etc.).

Speaking of permissions, I'm reminded of something that's bothering me a bit. What do you when someone chooses to reprint the same material you've researched over the internet and placed it on your blog? lets say flickr artists? What's kosher and what's not?

You can ask them to take it down and hope they will comply. Unfortunately a lot of people do not understand the nature of "intellectual property rights" and do not see anything wrong with copying other people's work and pasting it into their own space. These are probably the same people who copy passages out of encyclopedias and pass them off as their own term papers in school! Others argue that if it's posted in a public space such as an Internet blog, it becomes public domain material, but that is not the case; the creator of the work still has copyright.
I don't think there's much you can do other than to ask them to remove the material or to credit you with it. If it really bothers you, you can pursue legal action, but maybe that is more hassle than it's worth? Or you can be flattered that they considered your material worthy of inclusion in their space, I suppose. :)

Refusing an award. Why?
Last week, Dr. Grigori Perelman, a Russian mathematician who showed his genius by solving the Poincare Conjecture, refused the Fields Medal -- the most prestigious award in mathematics -- as well as the million-dollar prize offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute for the solution of this intriguing puzzle. His reason? He did not want his work to be about personal fame, but about the math. This was not the first time he had done this -- he had previously turned down a prize from the European Mathematical Society.
This is not the first time that a researcher has refused an award of this magnitude. In 1965, the physicist Richard Feynman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his ground-breaking work in quantum electrodynamics. He was going to refuse the award because it would be too much of a hassle, although he eventually relented and accepted the prize because he realized that refusing it would create even bigger hassles for him.
And just one year earlier, the writer Jean-Paul Sartre declined the 1964 Nobel Prize for Literature, stating that he did not wish to align himself with institutions.
Come on, guys. A Field Medal? A million bucks? A fricking Nobel Prize??? I'd accept any of them in a heartbeat! Okay, so that makes me an attention whore, so what? Could the accolades not be put to good use by drawing attention to whatever plight you're suffering?
We get it, fine, you don't want to become a "figurehead" of the big bad evil "institutions" with their self-serving "agendas" and political "manoeuverings." *YAWN* We're all really impressed.
Here's an idea. How about taking that million-dollar prize and contributing it to a charitable cause that works to make change? I mean seriously, whatever happened to the idea of effecting change from within?
Or would you rather sit back and ponder life's futility and meaninglessness while your million dollars sits, unclaimed and earning interest, in the coffers of the very institutions you claim to disavow.

talking about not wanting prizes or money - there's a story of an australian runner called cliff young. he was a humble farmer who won the melbourne to sydney marathon.
"When Cliff Young was awarded the first prize of $10,000, he said he did not know there was a prize and insisted that he had not entered for the money. He said, "There're five other runners still out there doing it tougher than me," and he gave them $2,000 each. He did not keep a single cent for himself. That act endeared him to all of Australia. Cliff Young was a humble, average man, who undertook an extraordinary feat and became a national sensation."

Planet vanishes from night sky, replaced by clump of ice
The Solar System has eight planets again today, down from the nine it has had for the past 76 years.
A nuclear missile, launched from the NASA base on Titan, has destroyed Pluto entirely. Scientists at the Royal Astronomical Society For Arbitrary Judgement Calls consequently voted to redefine Pluto, once known as a "planet," to an "aimlessly drifting clump of space ice."
In the past, generations of schoolchildren had memorized a list of planets that included Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. However, the next generation of schoolchildren will have one fewer planet to remember, now that the list ends with Neptune.
Despite the removal of Pluto from the list of planets, the continued existence of planet Neptune prevents me from making any jokes about a list of "things that end with Uranus."
Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh of Illinois in 1930, at the age of 24. Prior to 1930, Pluto did not exist.
Dr. Tombaugh was a close personal friend of Walt Disney and named his planet after Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto, in honour of the cartoonist. The original suggestion of planet Goofy was rejected, as Goofy had already been assigned to Celestial Body XG-209 by a competing astronomer.

A pregnant woman attempted to go through security in a West Virginia airport with two bottles of water in her carry-on bag, which is not permitted under tight new regulations. The liquid in the bottles is confirmed to be just water, but there is suspicion of "explosive residue" on the outside of the bottles.
The entire airport is evacuated and shut down as a precaution. The residue turns out to be from a single drop of bleach.

United Airlines flight 923, flying from London to Washington, D.C., was diverted to Boston escorted by two F-15 fighter jets after a claustrophobic passenger with a fear of flying appeared "agitated" and began to act "unruly." She was carrying a banned substance in her carry-on bag -- hand cream.
The 59-year-old woman, described as a "peace activist" and a "friendly, stable grandmother with no history of erratic behavior," is in custody awaiting a hearing next week.

Three men from Texas are arrested in Michigan are arrested and charged with "collecting materials to aid terrorism" and "surveillance of a vulnerable target with intent to commit terrorism" after purchasing a large number of cell phones and taking pictures of the Mackinac Bridge.
As it turns out, the men are in the business of purchasing and unlocking cell phones so that buyers to use them with any carrier, and took the photos of the bridge as many out-of-state tourists do.
It's too bad these amateur photographers didn't think just to go to the State of Michigan's web site at www.michigan.gov, where I counted 174 pictures of the bridge in question.

I do not think that rusty object is an anchor in your first picture. It looks to be part of a hoist.
In summer, the wild raspberries and blueberries can still be found although they have been much harder to find as the spruce trees seem to grow about 8 inches taller every year.

All the brave people who keep us safe in our homes and our cars
A big shout out and "thank you" to the good people at the Waterloo Fire Department who responded promptly to my call last night after the carbon monoxide detector went off. I was concerned because I told my wife that I was feeling inexplicably dizzy and nauseous, then the alarm went off less than a minute later. I thought it might be a coincidence, so I reset it and it came back on after a few minutes. So we left the house and called in the cavalry.
They showed up in their big red truck -- without sirens blaring, fortunately; we live on a quiet street and the last thing I need is a million questions from our neighbours. They went through the house with their own carbon monoxide detector, but found none at all. Even though we are not using the furnace because it is summer, we still have a gas stove and a gas water heater. We concluded that it was a false alarm, and felt bad for wasting their time, but it was still nice to feel secure.
It takes a special kind of person to risk their own life for the sake of others. Thankfully, there was no real threat in our home last night, but I'm sure they would still have rushed in and saved us if the house were on fire. I noticed that my son Ryan liked the truck, and was playing with his own toy version last night after they left. Maybe one day, he will be in a situation to help others too.
--
Then this morning, as I was driving to work, a very helpful police officer pulled me over and fined me $110 for not having a front licence plate on my car, as required in Ontario. I am so grateful that someone was looking out for me, ready to rescue me from the twin perils of improved aerodynamics and a nice look to the front of my car.
