Always cool to see how the pros shoot. EXIF data is great: I use the ExifExt extension for Safari.

Fungi are very odd.

One gets the impression that plants, animals, and microbes have been going on their merry way, dividing and reproducing and evolving in ways that make sense to us humans. But fungi, they are like that guy who sits by himself at lunch all the time and wears really odd pants and then one day you find out he’s a world-famous abstract artist with an ether habit. Just completely off the reservation, biology-wise.

Anyone got a favorite mushroom?

Two days ago, you guys stepped up once again to show the world just how much we care about protecting the Internet. Together, we generated more than 140,000 calls to Senators, spent more than 4,200 hours on the phone with their staffers, and blacked out 650,000 of our blogs to make our point and inspire others to get involved. And what’s more, this was on top of the 90,000 calls we sent to members of the House of Representatives a month ago. Incredible.

It’s now becoming clear just how much impact our action is having. On January 18th, only 31 members of Congress opposed these bills. Just one day later, 101 members of Congress publicly stood with us in opposition. We are being heard.

And as of today, it looks like both the Senate PIPA and House SOPA bills have been shelved, for the moment. It seems pretty likely that the bills won’t pass as written—a big first win. We now hope that Internet companies, the creative community and the content industry join together to innovate and devise new partnerships to combat online piracy. We’re confident there are effective ways to do this without damaging the Internet or diminishing our freedoms.

You’ve made a big difference in keeping the Internet a safe and open place for creators. Thank you again.
