ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

A camera is worth a thousand uses

Posted: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 12:42 PM by Will Femia

Using the Hell out of your Digital Camera - I use my little point n shoot pocket camera for all of these things. The map idea is great, especially if you're someplace like a mall where you don't have a map you can take with you. I used mine this summer to photograph the number of threads showing beyond the nut on the axel bolt on my motorcycle to make sure I put it back centered. I don't take pictures of Chinese Food menus but I do take pictures of menus in windows of new restaurants when I want to show my wife what the place has to see if it looks worthwhile. And literally just the other day I felt a bump on my chin and was self conscious that I was walking around with a giant white head or something. Turns out I wasn't, and I learned that by taking a quick picture of my own chin. Weird but effective.

Well, I am collecting plenty of shots of my motorcycle (or parts of it) while troubleshooting/repairing/replacing the eletrical system.

Teach me to buy a 26-year old "vintage" bike, I guess.
