The NY Times have a some on Ansel’s famous Yosemite images, with a map showing the locations and some audio explaining the significance of the picture.  To see the site go here.  Therei is also an article on the New York Times site here.

 

I’ve been fortunate enough to have been to Yosemite, and you can see some of my photographic efforts here.

Record labels kill of startup trying to help legally license music for blogs

It appears that the major record labels have managed to  effectively kill off a new start up Sonific who tried to create a business around properly licensing music for podcasting & blogging sites thus creating a more controlled environment revenue rather than the currently Wild West situation that predominates outside of the top tier of blogs not to mention revenue for the record labels. According to Sonific they have wound things up because of the licensing situation with the record labels. Tragic that the record industry again appears to have architected a situation where they may potentially earn some revenue and at least slow the amount of unlicensed music flying around has failed.
