The Gates installation in Central Park has come down, but thousands of photos remain on Flickr under the tags: TheGates, gates, gatesmemory, etc. One of my favorite shots is this gorgeous eye photo. Even the woman’s eye makeup matches the color of the gates.

I did not get a chance to go to New York and see the installation myself but our friends Frank and Diana were there and they brought us back a piece of the orange fabric as a memento. Thanks to them, I was able to make my own contribution to the Flickr gates tags.

During the time Steve Jobs has run the company, Apple has been hostile to truly independent journalism about its products and policies. This current attack on journalism — and that is precisely what is going on here — reflects the side of Jobs that will someday lead the company back down from its current heights. He is a genius, no question, but he is a control freak who doesn’t seem to care whatsoever that he’s infuriating some natural allies.

I’m writing this on a Mac. If I were buying a replacement today, I’m not at all sure I’d make the same choice again.

From Dan Gillmor’s blog, Grassroots Journalism, etc.

As it is often the case with blog posts, the truly interesting part is in the comments following Gillmor’s opinion.

Le m�le, tout le monde en parle ces jours-ci. Voil� que le magazine montr�alais Urbania s’int�resse aussi aux gars, avec un questionnaire qui vous « aide » � d�finir quel genre d’homme vous �tes ou quel genre d’homme vous aimez fr�quenter. Le questionnaire ET les r�sultats sont amusants! J’ai bien aim� l’interface avec les gars � l’urinoir en guise de choix de r�ponse.

Le magazine sollicite votre opinion sur le m�le pour un prochain num�ro enti�rement consacr� � ce sujet.

D�foulez-vous.
