Well - it’s time for some changes at ClubReading. The current site has served us well for a long time, but it is feeling it’s age. As you can see, the new site start page is a blog. This will give us a chance to share and dialog with the community, while still having a place for a conversation.

Stroll Back in Time

What an amazing website! Shorpy is an archive, in very high detail of historical photo’s. Presented in blog format, just browsing through the archives is an amazing trip back in time. Check it out: http://www.shorpy.com/

Don’t miss the opportunity to view the images full size. The detail is amazing.

I got a heads up about this great site from the This Week in Photography podcast episode #16.

Yeah, I know. This post is a bit down, but I wanted to share a photo in a post, so why not post about my recently deceased Dalmatian?

Within affections distant touch,
Life’s gentle breath slowing to pass away,
Torn wailing grief; a cold wind
Through emptiness and regret.

Ideal of selfless gift, strength and beauty,
Leaves the final lesson cold.
In thought and apparent gentle reminder,
Of life’s fluid nature, the final gift,

I am so behind on podcasts. At present…after a day of listening to podcasts, I have 8.2 days of content left to listen to. And it’s good stuff! I’m a huge fan of the TWIT network podcasts. I remember most of these guys from the old Tech TV days, and enjoyed Leo’s radio show in L.A.

The ‘I Should Be Writing’ podcast is one of my favorite writers/authors podcast. Of course NPR’s Books cast is great, but there’s something very engaging about Mur’s casts. She also has some outstanding interviews.
