Today's clickies are brought to you by nightdog_barks (whose birdwatching posts always remind me of the best parts of my birthfamily), dolphingirl (who frequently gets the dolphin posts that i miss, for which I'm very grateful), machineplay (still best girlfriend ever!) and gizmometer (the best internet partner in crime a girl could hope for).

I was wondering if I would need to wave Palimpsest at you. I am in love. SO MUCH LOVE.

ah, HDR photos. All the rage right now. If they're well done I like them, but like most fads everyone else is just kicking out crappy knockoffs right now. Basically the technique is to take a bunch of shots at different exposures and use Photoshop to automatically stitch them together.

I'm hoping the cool factor wears off soon, because I'm sick of Flickr being covered with ridiculous super-cartoony shots like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/166259768/in/set-72157603505606537/

Canadian passports can be guarantored by anyone else with a Canadian passport these days, right?

Yay for cephalopod conspiracy; you go, little cephies!

Also, thanks for the long list of links. I hope your pain eases up.

I think I have a built-in radar for those links. I can scroll through tons of headlines, but as soon as I see "dolphin," "whale," "ocean," etc. my proverbial ears perk up :P
