• EPA staff finds emissions threat As it turns out, what the EPA brass has been saying didn't match up to what the actual researchers at the EPA were saying. Big surprise. (tags: epa lat)

Hello Readers! Thanks for following my blog. I hope you've been enjoying my writing and photos over the years. Don't worry, I'm going to keep blogging and shooting! I made some changes to the site last week and last night. Here is a quick rundown of what has changed:

• Error Page: I have updated my error page to actually be helpful, before it was worthless, but now when you land on it, you'll find it much more helpful.
• Side Bar: Added blog categories list, added full archives listing, removed login
• Comments: I have totally removed the comments section from this site. They were hard to use (almost impossible) and spambots spent all day trying to spam them, although they did actually fail, but still. I will be reintroducing comments when I release the next version of this site. If you want to comment on a post, email me and I'll update the post with your comment and a link back to you (link the old boingboing style)
• del.ico.us Links: As I'm sure you've noticed I've been automatically posting my links from del.ico.us every day. I hope you're enjoying this. Let me know through email either way.
• Image Layout: I've changed the layout of the image pages by simplifying the interface and moving the album information to below the image. I've also added a share this button.
• Blogs: I've added a date posted field as well as a share this button.
• ShareThis: I saw this post on laughing squid and decided to add that functionality to my site. You will find a ShareThis badge on every page now.

Let me know what you think!

Last weekend, despite having a freshly sliced up foot, I shot photos of the NAMM show for WIRED News. The gallery just went live on the front door of WIRED. You can check out the gallery by clicking on the screengrab below:

• High Speed Camera Gadget Labs Review ideas area swimming through me head. (tags: wired gadget labs camera photo)
• iPhone 1.1.3 Firmware Ready for SDK Apps Looks like the new firmware has made some helpful and good changes to the way the iPhone works. I'm thinking about getting an iPhone, as my Pearl didn't make it through the wash. (tags: iPhone 1.1.3 firmware)

• LAT Seeks Axe Man for Massive Budget Cuts In case you haven't been paying attention, the LA Times just fired its 3rd editor in 24 months. All were fired for the same reason, refusing to cut the newsroom budget. Roderick has some additional background on the story. (tags: lat budget.cuts oshea)
• LoLCat of the Day oh noez! (tags: lolcat)
• Classic Reaction A student's reaction to the President on MLK day. (tags: mlk funny bush)
• Big Surprise : Whitehouse missing key emails from Plame investigation Nobody saw that coming (tags: politics scandal whitehouse bush)
• Apple's New Gadgets Intentionally Hard to Fix? A guy who repairs broken electronics is upset that he can't open the current generation iPods without breaking them (tags: apple)

Today I sent out a little update to my friends and contacts about the recent galleries of mine on WIRED News. Unfortunately these emails went out with no Subject. This is due to a bug with Leopard's Mail.app. Basically if you have more than a few hundred addresses in the BCC field, the Subject line gets lost somewhere along the line. Here is a thread on the Apple support forums discussing it. Sorry to all the folks who ended up getting that email twice with no subject! Emails without a subject are a huge pet peeve of mine.

UPDATE 10.5.2 fixes this issue, thanks Apple!
