Might be silly, but might be the best way to exercise Kala. Check out the link above, and also: DogScooter.com (unfortunately, they have an annoying soundtrack when you first hit their main page). There’s also this, though I don’t know if that will work for us or not …
Kevin Kelly’s list of books that changed his life. Interesting list. There’s also links to other lists, of which I’m particularly intrigued by Eric Rawlins’ (and, no, it’s not just because he’s a Data Architect ).
Rick LaPage from MacWorld with a great overview of what to look for when buying a camera lens.
