JPG Magazine went away for a while, but now they’re back. It’s a bit late in the submission process for issue 21, but I put one up anyway: Bentendo and Bridge from one of my Japanese Garden shoots.

Please go vote and maybe I’ll make the magazine.

I just spent the afternoon helping Patrick redesign his consulting site MACHINE METHODS. It’s another study in minimalism in Web design. Hop on over and take a look.

Bruce Parens is up for a seat on the OSI (Open Source Initiative) board. You can read more about them at http://opensource.org/, but the short version is that they help educate and advocate the benefits of Open Source. They also act as a standards body to maintain the Open Source Definition — basically the traits that make up what Open Source is.

Please read up on the subject, then go sign the petition so that he may be elected to the OSI board.

Thank you!
