A much needed yet subtle move towards Standards in Digital Photography. If you read Photography journals you would already know how Canon and Nikon people fight over each others gear, native file format and picture clarity. This certainly is a great move towards a more standardised output without being biased towards any one major brand! Well done Adobe!

CocoaMySQL — MySQL tool for Mac
Having read the entry at Elise’s blog I headed over to download Cocoa and connected to my database, it was so easy to use and blazing fast! You wouldn’t want to connect to mySQL through a browser page ever again if you have had a taste of CocoaMySQL.

The power of forgiveness
Jumping from one link to the other I landed up at a site called — The forgiveness Project. It was simple, clean, clutter free, ofcourse I don’t expect anything less from Jon Hicks… but the power and the magnitude of the untold stories didn’t quite hit me till I headed over to the stories section.
I didn’t read the first story, and then looked over the thumbnail images on the left side of the page and clicked one at random — reading about the mishap of Chernobyl on 17-year-old Sasha Khodosok. And then onto another story, this time Camilla Carr & Jon James devastating story… it left me feeling sick, hollow in the stomach, void of any emotion and thought! Yet they found in them the courage to forgive the wrong doers. It takes tremendous courage to answer such a call it takes tremendous amount of devotion to forgive someone who has left scars in your life. How admirable to be able to come out this far and share with the rest of the world. I wish and hope no one ever has to go through life harrowing experiences like these. These stories brought tears to my eyes, it made me think again how graceful and abundant my life is.

George Chavchanidze a mathematician in Georgia uses XML 1.0 markup to capture basic structure of math expressions and CSS 2.0/2.1 to specify their rendering. What a remarkable use of Technology.

CSS has tremendous potential and the future holds a lot of growth in this particular area of expanding CSS to meet custom needs. via John
