Hot Peppers? Try World's HOTTEST Pepper & Record Holder {Slashfood}
Feb 20th 2007 3:26PM Eek.
One time I picked up a habenero pepper to throw in a salad, thinking it was just a pretty orange version of a very mild purple pepper I'd put in a salad the week before. It never ended up in my salad though after I innocently chopped it up and then removed the seeds and veins with my finger nails. My hands started to burn and I realized something was wrong, so I looked it up online. My hands burned for several days, transferred the burning to my face when I touched it, and I was afraid to even take out my contacts myself and made my husband do it.
I never realized food could be so painful.
Thanks to your post, I now know never to go near one of those Bhut Jolokia chilis!

This was taken from the east side of the river, on the river walkway between the Walnut and Chestnut Street bridges (just across from the US Post office), looking north. Now you can go to this not-so-secret spot the next time you are in Philly!
Bad Photo of the Day (8/31/06) {Gadling}
Aug 31st 2006 3:21PM Neat Image and Noise Ninja are supposed to be good. I don't know how much magic they could work with this image though - the artifacts are pretty severe. (I've never used either of them.)
This photo looks like it's from a compact camera. Is that right? (I wouldn't think a dSLR would produce so much noise at ISO 400.)
As for the setting, my guess is that unless you're shooting in Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual that you probably can't control the ISO. Maybe you can still control it in Auto. But I would guess that you can't control it in Cloudy. Plus, if it was really cloudy out, you'd have less light and so the camera would avoid giving you a longer shutter speed, but at the expense of bumping the ISO up.
However, that is a really great shot of the eagle. :) Maybe at a resolution less than 100% it looks better?
Flickr hack: All Sizes for all pics {The Digital Photography Weblog}
Apr 21st 2006 11:22PM Gotcha.
Though here's another reason why people may not be offering the "all sizes" option: "People with free accounts aren't able to offer their original image files for download." I actually didn't know that before, but I guess I can't change my setting unless I cough up $25. Oh well. :(

Agreed. I had no idea.
Grinding Coffee Beans : Do not try this at home {Slashfood}
Feb 1st 2006 2:17PM So sad.
But now you know that you should really invest in a coffee grinder. They're not all that expensive. :)
By the way, awesome natural light in this photo!
