Rainforest Wildlife Photography: A Tribute to Guido Sterkendries Guido Sterkendries is a daring wildlife photographer. He challenges gravity and does things that normal photographers lack the adrenalline for. Dangling from the highest trees in the rainforests of Panama and Brazil, the Belgian photographer seeks rare wonders of nature that haven’t been captured on camera before. He spends up to two weeks in a specially constructed canopy that allows him to get closer to his subjects. He is, for sure, one man who will have what stories to tell at retirement, as a real-life Tarzan of photography. Despite the risky climbings he does, he manages to stay motivated and be very active as an artist and ecologist. Golden Frogs In the amazing rainforests of Panama the daring photographer Guido Sterkendries found an almost extinct species: the golden frogs. Armored Grasshopper The trip to the exotic parts of the world wouldn’t be really worth it without capturing the wonders of nature.

A Father Who Creatively Captures His Kids (20 photos) If there was a prize that could be given out to the most creative father, I'd hope that it was awarded to Jason Lee. A wedding photographer by day, he's used to capturing some of the most important moments in a couple's lives. As a longtime fan of Jason's photos on Flickr however, I think the real magic happens when he turns the camera onto his daughters. Sure, his children are adorably cute in their own right, but that's not what makes his photos so interesting. It's when he puts his own spin on their everyday moments that we not only get to experience our own childhood again, we're able to see a father's pride shine through. I was able to get in touch with Jason to ask him a few questions. Q: How did you get into photography? Q: How do you come up with such creative photos of your daughters? Q: How has being on Flickr helped you with your business? Q: Any inspirational stories you'd like to share? Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring photographers? Q: Any quotes you live by?

The Benefits of a Change in Routine | Han of Harmony I love routines because they are convenient. They help me to get something done without much thought or effort on my part.

Android 2.2 is official: FroYo’s features and phones revealed « Icrontic Tech UPDATE (5/25/2010, 3:29 PM EDT): Is your phone eligible for Android 2.2? Find out in our guide to compatible phones! As expected, Google officially introduced Android 2.2 today at their I/O developer conference in California. The new release adds a number of widely-speculated features, including performance enhancements for applications, WiFi tethering and official support for storing applications on a phone’s microSD card. Supporting devices Google has confirmed that late model devices like the HTC Nexus One, Motorola Droid, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Desire and HTC Incredible are scheduled to get the update soon. However, no mention was made of older devices like the Hero, Eris or Moment, all of which likely hit the end of their rope with recent updates to Android 2.1; future updates to these phones appear to depend on the efforts of the homebrew ROM community. UPDATE: We reported that the Nexus One would be eligible for an OTA update to FroYo today based on an initial report from Phonescoop.
Android 2.2 (Froyo) features It sounds like a beta version of Android 2.2 (Froyo) is out in the wild for testing -- and it has some interesting features that I'm sure Android users will find interesting. The new version of the operating system will be available on the Nexus One, and quite possibly Verizon phones in late May -- my guess will be on the same day as Google I/O (May 19). This version of Android will feature lots of bug fixes, as well as some great additions. The new features will include: JIT Compiler This is huge. Automatic App Updates For both application developers, and users, this feature will make a big difference. As a user, it takes more effort than needed to keep your applications up to date. FM Radio This one is cool. Well, it sounds like Google will be enabling FM radio in the latest version of Android. New Linux kernel New versions of things like this are good for several reasons -- Security, stability, performance, etc. Flash 10.1 Support Apple has been ignoring flash like it doesn't exist.
