Disabled legal vigilante Posted: 11 months ago by krash
CNN's Gary Tuchman reports on a California law that allows disabled people to become wealthy by suing businesses.
personal note:
As a disabled person from birth, I think this guy is a piece of s**t. The world is not tailor made to fit us all and should not be fined into submission so it suits our needs. This is not the way it should be done. If an able bodied person took advantage of something like this, there would be major uproar.

JPG Magazine Says Goodbye Posted: 11 months ago by krash
Update: There have been several offers to buy JPG so it does not have to fold! Read more here -
This morning I wake up to an email from JPG Magazine, informing me that they are closing their doors as of January 5th, 2009 due to lack of funds and investors.
The website and magazine is another in a long line of small enterprises that have been hit hard by the current economy in the United States. I for one will miss them and wish them good luck on any future endeavors.
This is their list of things you may want to do before the site shuts down on Monday.
- Download the PDFs of back issues, outtakes, and photo challenge selections. We'll always have the memories! www.jpgmag.com/downloads/archives.html
- Make note of your favorite photographers. You may want to flip through your favorites list and jot down names and URLs of some of the people you'd like to stay in touch with. You may even want to cut and paste your contacts page into a personal record.
- Catch up with your fellow members. Our roots are in this humble flickr forum and we recommend going back to find fellow members, discuss the situation, or participate in another great photo community. www.flickr.com/groups/jpgmag/
- Keep in touch. This has always been much more than just a job to each of us, and we'll miss you guys! We'll be checking the account jpgletters@gmail.com in our free time going forward. We can't promise to reply to every email (since we'll be busy tuning up our resumes) but we'd love to hear from you.
- Stay posted. Although the magazine is ceasing publication, we'll be updating you on what's happening with your subscription early next week.

Slain Boy's Photo Used As Soap Opera Prop Posted: 1 year ago by krash
BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- A family still mourning a 6-year-old boy killed last year was shocked to see a picture of the child used in a recent soap opera on SOAPnet. The ABC television network has since apologized, calling the bizarre soap opera slip-up an indefensible error.
