There it finally is!

Eight years after Diablo 2 was released, Diablo 3 has finally been announced! But as with all Blizzard games, it’s going to be another long wait till we get our hands on it. But seriously, what’s another year or two compared to eight years of wait right.

Why many photo-sharing sites and communities stink

Petteri Sulonen is right on the money:

I used to participate on Photosig, but I learned to hate it. It exerts a huge pressure of blandification — shooting for the lowest common denominator. Flowers, bug macros, anal-retentive “figure studies,” golden-hour landscapes, pouty soft-focus “glamour” ladies, you name it — every photographic cliché ever invented [...]
