Flash Content in Websites Now and Soon to be Searchable by Yahoo and Google!

This is great news for those of us with largely flash based web sites. Flash content is great and looks awesome but optimizing for search engines can involve al sorts of tom foolery. Now search engines will have the ability to crawl the actual content of flash sites including text, links, audio and video.

Always looking for away to move up in the ranks:)

I read about it at Macworld

The Former Lee Smith in School at The Cleveland Institute of Music

This is my wife Lee during her junior year as a trumpet performance major at The Cleveland Institute. She was taking a photography course at Case Western and this was a self portrait. I scanned the print and repaired the scratches and spots. Very moody shot. The trumpet can create dark moods.

Nikon D700 is Real! Video in French Demoing the New FX Nikon Body

The Nikon D700 is the second Nikon DSLR featuring and FX sensor. For me this is very exciting, especially since it may be available as early as late July. I shoot on a D300 now but with the D3 low light goodness stuffed in this new body and the wide angle possibilities I am one excited little photographer.

It looks like the French are getting all of the goodies first. Here is a link to the brochure for the D700 in French.
