July 14th, 2009 · 1 Comment · News
This is a very cool program and it’s coming to the Adirondacks. Check it out.
Popular workshops give women the chance to learn outdoor skills such as shooting, archery, fly fishing, hunting, canoeing, kayaking, and outdoor photography
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is now offering one of its very popular “Becoming an Outdoors-Woman” workshops on September 18 – 20, 2009, at the Silver Bay YMCA on Lake George, Warren County.
“These workshops are particularly important in teaching participants useful outdoors skills, introducing them to fun and challenging activities and encouraging them to connect with nature,” said DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis.
Magazines, the Internet of the Past
November 18th, 2008 · 2 Comments · News
The democratization of the means of production and distribution has left most of our old media in tatters. One of the many magazines I subscribed to as a youth was Life. That and National Geographic served as a window for many to the incredible richness and diversity of the world around us. Check out what The Google has done for us. The entire LIFE Photo Archive.
Today about 20 percent of the collection is online; during the next few months, we will be adding the entire LIFE archive — about 10 million photos.
