10 Free Flickr MiniCards
Moo is offering Flickr Pro members 10x free “MiniCards”. What are they? Like a calling card with one of your Flickr photographs on one side and a personalised message or contact details on t’other. They measure 28mm x 70mm, about half the size of a regular business card. I just ordered a set to see what they are like.
Go try it, it’s free!

A bit of silliness but this looks a lot of fun to try with drunken mates!

Satellite Photography Update at Google Earth
Satellite photography fans will be pleased to know Google Earth just had another big data update according to Google Earth Blog. From the list of updates it seems mostly US-centric but other countries seem to have had improvements also including Japan, Netherlands, Germany, Austria and New Zealand.
I am pretty pleased one of my favourite Google Earth destinations, Calgary, is updated (allegedly) but a lot of British Columbia is still under cloud. I’m going to check my favourite destinations now…

Kodak Blogs … kind of
As someone who spends much of his day evangilising blogging it is nice to see a big company like Kodak embrace blogging, especially as it seems their new blog A Thousand Words is doing a lot of things right, most importantly having their staff blog rather than making yet another bland PR mouthpiece.
A Thousand Words is a place for stories from the people of Kodak. We love what we do, and we want to share our stories about imaging and its power to influence our world. We invite you to join our conversation with stories and images of your own.
So far there isn’t much to see and does have an odd smell of “marketing” about it
When you think of Kodak products in hospitals, you probably think of Kodak’s Health Group. But Kodak digital cameras and printer docks are playing an important role too.
Is it just me or does that read forced? Almost like each post has to have a “todays lesson from marketing dept”. Maybe I am just touchy on this particular subject but I don’t think premature babies are a nice way to sell cameras in such an obvious clumsy way, if Kodak does good work in this area let the story come across without the heavy-handedness guys!
Without that stuff it is a really nice story and one that touches me in a very personal way. The Kodak sales message could have been implied, right now it’s … never mind. I am glad Lauren is doing well, that’s what really matters. Maybe I just have issues.
Hopefully their bloggers real voices will take over before long. Either that or it will bomb, which would be a shame.

What The Duck – Comic Strip for Photographers
I originally heard about this from Strobist but only managed to catch up with it recently. Now on my daily read list (in fact I look forward to this as much as the new Dilbert every day), What The Duck is a great comic strip for photographers.
The blog the strip lives in is for a band called Sweet Jelly, unfortunately right now that is the only place to see them. Someone needs to syndicate this guy!
Added: WTD now has its own blog – sweet!

Picasa 2 Out of Beta
Recall my review of Picasa 2 + web albums a little while ago? Well it is finally out of beta and comes with a few fixes and updates …
Via: Google Blog
On of the things I have been waiting for is now present, you can more easily import into an existing folder. I hope it is more robust too, it used to crash for me when importing many gigabytes of files at once.
I have got to test how flickr reacts to the Google Earth / Picasa geo tagging, that might be the solution I have been looking for if flickr reads them.
Interesting is the time-lapse movie export – I have had a time lapse set hanging around my laptop for ages, will be good to try that out.
All good stuff, please do try it out and let me know in the comments what you think of it!
