The Photographic Adventure of Nick Turpin →
Nick Turpin (advertising and street photographer) has some mad Samsung money behind his latest project. 30 days travelling Europe (and possibly more?) taking photos with the new Samsung Pixon camera phone.

Why didn’t I think of this…
WatchThe Great Schlep aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the crucial Florida vote in his favor. Don’t have grandparents in Florida? Not Jewish? No problem! You can still become a schlepper and make change happen in 2008, simply by talking to your relatives about Obama.
I need a new signature
I hate my signature because it’s completely unreproducable and unpredictable. Plus, trying to write a J and D together just sucks. Try it.

“If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.
With AIG, you would have less than $15 left.
With Fannie Mae, you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund, you would have $214 cash.
