- Selling My Photography at DEPART-ment
-
Next weekend I'll be selling my photos at DEPART-ment, Chicago's quarterly indie arts and crafts sale. My wife has sold her scarves and jewelry there before, but this will be my first time.
The artists at DEPART-ment always have cool items, so I'm excited to be a part of it. If this goes well, I'll try to sell my photography elsewhere.
If you're in the Chicago area, check out DEPART-ment during these times:
Friday, November 30, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Saturday, December 1, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday, December 2, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Location:
AV-aerie
2000 w. Fulton
Unit 310
Chicago, IL

-
Dan Catt points out that GoogleMaps now supports geoRSS feeds, and that you can use Flickr's geoRSS output to plot your geotagged Flickr photos on a GoogleMap.
I used his idea to create a YubNub command called "gmfl" to quickly load such a map. If you have YubNub installed in your browser, just type "gmfl" and your Flickr username from your Flickr url. For example:
gmfl sage
If you don't have YubNub installed, you can use the following url, replacing "sage" with your username.

If you live in Chicago and enjoy maps, check out the exhibit Imperial Cartographies at the DePaul University Museum.
It focuses on historical maps used for propaganda and political gain. Interesting stuff.
Click for more info.
The exhibit is free and lasts until March 18, 2007.

-
Why does Ticketmaster still exist? No other company makes me as irate as they do. How can you justify charging over $15 in "convenience" fees on a $50 ticket?
On top of their price scam, their website has a horrible user experience. Can anybody read this CAPTCHA??
Because Ticketmaster is so maddening, I won't casually go to any venue that uses them. I used them today because The Pogues (!!) are coming to Chicago. But I wouldn't have put up with Ticketmaster for any band that isn't in one of my top 10 favorites. That means venues are losing revenue.

-
UPDATE: Never mind, I forgot that this link is a result of this Firefox extension, Google Calendar Quick Add. I have so many extensions and greasemonkey scripts that I can't remember what's what!
Today I did a Google search that included a date, and above the regular results, Google gave the option to schedule the item I had searched. When I clicked the link, it brought me to the Google Calendar "Create Event" page, filled out based on what was in my search. I hadn't seen that before.
Pretty cool!
Although it's still not quite as cool as adding events to 30boxes.com. If you try the url:
"http://30boxes.com/index.php?action=newEvent&input=private pick up laundry, sunday 3pm" (with the spaces), it will just add the event to your calendar without having to stop at a "create event" screen first (if you are logged in to 30boxes).
