Here is one where I actually was a little too close, but it does show what happens at length 0.

My point and shoot trusty old canon s3 (I think I'm going to really miss this camera when it dies) does have the virtue of a minimum focal distance of zero, so I can put it in macro mode and literally shove the lens against something.

It should be noted the biggest selling list bears no real resemblance to the biggest earning list from Billboard about 10 days ago (except that Justin Timberlake is at 3 on both lists).

There are a lot of childhood photos of me (because my dad was a photographer) but relatively few of me as an adult (because I was the one holding the camera). Here is one from 2008 where, unusually, I was unaware of the camera. Doing what I normally do- running computer courses, this one was a digital image workshop that was looking at all of the workflow issues for taking pictures/ scanning, adjusting them, and getting them into electronic files. As one of the exercises we had some cameras and scanners around (and an odd collection of artifacts and lighting conditions) so people could see how it worked in practice. Someone happened to snap this picture of me with one of the class cameras when I was unaware.

I heartily, heartily recommend the book "The Emperor of Scent" by Chandler Burr as a very fine read. It is a sort-of biography of the biophysicist Luca Turin, who co-authored "Perfumes: The Guide".
My copy of The Emperor of Scent is basically in a permanent state of being lent out to people.

I certainly know National supporters that would like to imagine a Green national coalition "if they would just jettison the social justice stuff and concentrate on the environment", so I'm not sure how real that interest is in the actual Green Party rather than the imaginary one.
There should also be an element of Green support from the more libertarian right in a "keeping the government honest" kind of way, but normally being pro-corporate seems to trump being anti-authoritarian. -
Hard News: Let's do some commerce, in reply to Morgan Nichol,
I've clearly been overly upworthied, I can help phrasing that as a "Russell mentioned a new blogger. Who it will be will surprise you" headline

As someone outside of the U.S., I find aspects of this "what is wrong with the TPP in comic form" somewhat ironic.
