- Why camera lenses are the real key to stunning photos. Indeed. Whenever a camera salesman tries to tell me it's the megapixels that matter, I just walk away... (And that would be about 90% of them.) The two lenses I would most love to get right now are the Nikon 18-200 mm Vibration Reduction zoom lens and Nikon's new 35mm f/1.8 Prime. I just took a bunch of pictures in low light on a church retreat last weekend. I had to scrap most of the photos because of camera shake and high ISO setting. (Fortunately, I took over 1,000 shots.) A fast lens would help solve this problem. So would a tripod.

I'm still waiting for that in depth review of the Kindle 2 from this blog! I want my Kindle 2 review :)
That article on volcano monitoring is a good one.
As The Questionable Authority blog notes:
Like Palin with her "fruit fly research" complaints, or McCain's moaning about bear DNA and "overhead projectors," this is clearly another case where a Republican in the national spotlight is saying things about science that just don't make sense. I'm not sure if this is because they think that bashing science is a good way to score cheap political opponent, or if they just don't understand how any of this science ties into public policy. Both are bad; I don't know which is worse.
But it really has to stop.
I would add that the Republican party has become a very scary party led literally by people who should not be trusted with public policy.
