Yeah, it’s been lot of talking about it those days :) I’ll just try to summarize:
Zemanta is a platform which (almost) automatic makes your blog content reacher, adds pics and links to text. That’s all in short :D
For now it works on any OS which runs Firefox as long as you use Wordpress.com, Blogger.com, Typepad.com bloging services and self-hosted Wordpress from v2.0 on.
It suggests related articles from around 300 top media sources and numerous blogs and suitable photos Wikimedia Commons, Flickr and various stock photo providers. It also automaticly links stuff to wikipedia and few other sites.

I hope it won’t last long :)

Jap, I’m Nikon user :P And, here I made a list (kinda wishlist) of my favorite Nikon (Nikkor) lenses :) Unfortunately, i don’t have any of those… yet :(

af-nikkor-85mm-f-14d-if_front.jpg
Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D

af-s-vr-micro-nikkor-105mm-f-28g-if-ed_front.jpg
Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G VR
My personally favorite lenses (both 85 and 105) :P I prefer telephoto lenses and macro as well, because I really like all the details.

af-s-vr-zoom-nikkor-70-200mm-f-28g-if-ed_front.jpg
Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR
70-200mm f/2.8 VR is one of the two lenses used by most professional photographers every day. It’s Nikon’s latest professional workhorse lens. It has all appropriate specifications as you would expect :D

af-s-nikkor-14-24mm-f-28g-ed.jpg
Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
The second of those most commonly used lenses by professional photographers is this wide 14-24mm f/2.8. Wicked colours, sharp as hell and no other defects.

2000mmreflexside.jpg
Reflex-Nikkor 2000mm f/11
The biggest telephoto lens I’ve ever seen. I’s huge :D

nikkor6mmf28.jpg
Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 Fisheye
And the widest lens I’ve ever seen :D (it captures 220° :D )

Innovations… yeah, tough shit!
As Anand Agarawala said, you can have some XP or Vista-like desktop (gui) which is sophisticated as it can be. If you sex it up, you get something like MacOSx. But after all, it’s almost same as it was 30 years ago.
But than I found some innovative and interesting GUIs.

First one is linux. In fact it isnt… It’s only graphical subsystem for it. It is 3d based on OpenGL, and it holds bounch of various 3d effects and beautifications :D

But second one held my breath.
It’s called Bump:Top. I like it because is simulates real condition of your desk :D All piles an documents… and you can sort it as you want :) You interact it by pushing, pulling and piling documents with elegant, self revealing gestures.

Cant wait to see it in some OS :P

Simple plan – Take my hand

Simple plan – Take my hand

2x Hey, hey

Sometimes I feel like
Everybody’s got a problem
Sometimes I feel like
Nobody wants to solve them
I know that people say
We’re never gonna make it
But I know we’re gonna get through this

Close your eyes
And please don’t let me go
Don’t, don’t, don’t let me go now
Close your eyes
Don’t let me let you go
Don’t, don’t, don’t

Take my hand tonight
Let’s not think about tomorrow
Take my hand tonight
We can find some place to go
‘Cause our hearts are locked forever
And our love will never die
Take my hand tonight
One last time

2x Hey, hey

The city sleeps
And we’re lost in the moment
Another kiss
As we’re lying on the pavement
If they could see us
They would tell us that we’re crazy
But I know they just don’t understand

Close your eyes
And please don’t let me go
Don’t, don’t, don’t let me go now
Close your eyes
Don’t let me let you go
Don’t, don’t, don’t

//chorus

3x Hey, hey

The rain drops
The tears keep falling
I see your face
And it keeps me going
If I get lost
Your light’s gonna guide me
And I know that you can take me home
You can take me home

//chorus

Take my hand tonight
Let’s not think about tomorrow
Take my hand tonight
We can find some place to go
‘Cause our hearts are locked forever
And our love will never die
Take my hand tonight
One last time
(One last time)

This song is on first place on my playlist for about a week and I still love ti :P It rocks! :D
