Francis Bacon – “Knowledge is power.”
This quote reminds me of why I started writing for the web in the first place. I did it for the same reason I founded my site. I wanted to share useful information (knowledge) with people interested in finding it. That, in turn, empowers them to do what they need to do, and allows me to make a small contribution to their efforts. I feel good, they feel good – it’s a win-win situation, provided, of course, that they’re working toward something good.
I’ve started writing for BlogCritics as well, and my first entry, the MacBook review, was just published on their site. I’m pretty happy, and I hope it will get me some extra exposure.
Summary: Book review, “Mister Ed and Me”, by Alan Young with Bill Burt — ComeAcross Photos (photos.raoulpop.com) is up and running — Congress to make social networking sites inaccessible to minors — Recipe: croissants with butter, sour cream and cinnamon — In France, politicians still listen to reason — Part 3 of the RIP Act coming soon for the UK — Review: the new MacBook — Review: the IKEA Restaurant — The first ComeAcross Press Release — The coming conflict between same-sex marriage and religious liberty — The World Bank’s First Opera Gala — There’s something in the air here in the States.
Updated 9/30/07: ComeAcross Photos will soon be discontinued as a subdomain. I will feature my photography directly on my blog, in a separate category, to make it easier to follow only those posts. There’s even a separate feed if you’d only like to follow my photography posts. It’s simple: feeds.feedburner.com/Images.
Mark Twain – “Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
I launched the ComeAcross Photos section today. I’ve posted many of my photographs there, and more will be posted soon. You can also sign up for an account and post your own photos if you’d like. Have a look, and spread the word!
➡ Updated 1/1/08: The Photos section was done away with last year. I created a Photography category instead, where I post some of my photographs and talk about their context. You can also have a look at my portfolio site, Raoul Pop Photography.
