I always get a little wary when I receive word that a photo I posted to flickr was used on someone’s blog or whatever. A couple of times, they’ve been used for publications I’d want nothing to do with. Yesterday afternoon, I received such a message. Such is the nature of sharing stuff like that [...]

It’s like the Bear411 debacle all over again.
On its website recently, Out magazine published an article whose headline asked, “Has Manhunt Destroyed Gay Culture?” The article describes Jonathan Crutchley, one of Manhunt’s founders, as a “liberal Republican,” a title he finds insulting.
For the benefit of those of you who don’t know, Manhunt is a gay [...]

Earlier this week, I got an email from my satellite TV provider stating they added a slew of high definition (HD) channels to the lineup. “Well, cool,” I figured. It further adds to the value of the HDTV set I bought last year.

Greenpeace infiltrated a Kleenex commercial shoot in New York, the results of which are in the video clip below:

If you forward 3 minutes and 27 seconds into the video, one Greenpeace guy asserts, “even the box that it’s sold in is, you know, 100% virgin pulp.”
Okay, fine. So I grab my box of Kleenex, which [...]

Anyone who’s taken the D.C. Circulator in the last couple of weeks has seen the laminated fliers alerting riders that a route change is a-comin’. But what struck me about the flyers is the photo at the bottom: three young women, each a different ethnicity, toasting to… something.
