So, Paul and I were talking earlier today about ways to advertise the site and let people know we're here. Showing up to Blogtoberfest en masse helped... but there's plenty more to do.
I suggested to Paul that everyone who is interested meet in person and try to figure out a plan. Paul - can we set something up at your place in the next couple weeks?
Who is up for such a thing?
BUFFET NIGHT
Also, the Buffet night will probably Wed October 10th, around 7pm. Details to follow, save the date.

Thanks!
I am trying to use the external flash in such a way that it adds just enough light to a photo to make it come out, but not so much that you lose the background.
Usually with flash the subject of the photo is brightly lit and it looks like they are in a cave, because of the imbalance in light sources.

Favorite Five Albums of All Times?Category: quiz
Post your list of your favorite five albums/cds/etc of all time. Either as a comment here or in your own journal. You don't need to add links to your list like I did.
Massive Attack, Mezzanine
Pixies, Doolittle
Violent Femmes, Violent Femmes
Jane's Addiction, Ritual de lo Habitual
Towa Tei, Best
I completely skipped all my favorite D&B albums and a few other categories too... a more accurate list wouldn't be quite this rock and roll.
So, what's your all time favorite music? We just did this list sharing thing on my photo group, and it's interesting to see what everyone's personal soundtrack is.

I can't narrow it down to five! heh. The self-titled Violent Femmes album is one of my favorite's, though.

Even though I get five this is still difficult, in no particular order:
Dots and Loops - Stereolab
Mood Swing - Joshua Redman
Speaking of Now - Pat Metheny Group
The Grand Wazoo - Frank Zappa
Radiohead - OK Computer
Top ten would have been slightly easier.

Kimya Dawson - My Cute Sweet Friend
Echt - Freischwimmer
The Long Winters - The Worst You Can Do is Harm
R.E.M - Life's Rich Pagaent
The Postal Service - Give Up
Similar to what (e:jim) said this lacks all electronic music which is actually most of what I listen to.

Dog ParkCategory: buffalo
It was a lot of fun, and so many dogs! You can't tell from the photos but there were about 100 or so of them.
And the march of the seasons:
I need to remember to wipe the fingerprints off my lens before I take photos, everything looks like it's underwater.

Social Graph Part 2Category: internet
Google to take on Facebook: 
by opening up their social graph? That is my dream come true! xfn and openid, distributed digital social networks not under anyone's thumbs.
That's all you need. Push and pull from Google, and Six Apart (LJ, etc). Autodiscovery of social networks. Smugmug just did it and now all I really need is for Flickr to jump in, or maybe I can fake it through their API.

If it doesn't get too late we'll have the meeting about site promotion after the buffet night, possibly over a drink somewhere close by.
Does anyone have a buffet suggestion? India Gate is the default choice, but I'm open to other ideas.
I can't commit yet and say I will be there hopefully I will that date sounds like something. That being said I do have a few ideas (not sure if they are good ideas or not).
(e:janelle) and I are in.
I'd be up for it.
