I planted lots this year, so far only this one is blooming.
LuckyOliver
The new version of LuckyOliver rolled out June 1. It’s not your stodgy, old-fashioned stock photo place, but a peppery, high-energy and somewhat irreverent site where you can sell or buy photographs.
Is this a commercial? Well, yeah. If you like my photos, some of them, possibly many of them will be up at LuckyOliver.

PicoCricket: for the youngest programmers
From the mind of Mitchel Resnick of the MIT Media Lab comes a kit filled with the stuff of traditional crafts but juiced up with sensors, cables, sound boxes and a small, programmable computer.
The recipient of such a box of treasure will be able to create musical sculptures and toy figures that will interact with their maker.
According to Resnick, the kit appeals to girls as well as boys. I certainly wouldn’t mind having one of these.
