Relative sized borders in Lightroom 2
I’m sure the rest of you figured this out ages ago, but it was a new realization to me. In addition to supporting multiple, different borders per image, the LR2/Mogrify border options for Lightroom 2 allow for borders to be applied on three metrics: pixel size, percent of height, and percent of width. That allow, for example, for easy application of letterbox-style top and bottom borders without needing to pay any attention to the cropped dimension of your image.
The plugin default is in pixels; just switch to percent and you’re off. Something in the range of 10-12% of height seems to suit my eye pretty well.

Facebook network visualization
Quick ‘n dirty visualization of the clusters of relationships among my facebook friends:
Data generated with Bernie Hogan’s My Online Social Network app on facebook, and visualized with GUESS. Good stuff, Bernie!
Thanks to Marc Smith — he’s one of the nodes up there — for the link to the flickr version of this image over at Connected Action.
Brayden King and Kieran Healy (they’re up there in my visualization, too) have posted their own plots over at orgtheory: one, two.

Feelin' fine
Way cool:
(image page at flickr)
We Feel Fine aggregates and provides clicky-feely visualizations of expressions of emotions online, via text found in blogs, flickr pages and google.
I spent a good chunk of today trying to figure out why a single dumb plot was coming out all hinky; these guys have colored affect balls swirling apparently effortlessly around your mouse cursor. I feel inadequate, sure, but I feel wildly enthusiastic, as well. This is cool stuff.

Finally, a client that can upload to flickr and zooomr. I might get some use out of that zooomr account, after all.
