Today, I met Mignon Fogarty, one of my favorite podcasters. She is more commonly known as Grammar Girl in which she does a podcasts that gives a grammar tip in a fun and informative manner in every episode.

Flickr just release Uploadr 3.0. This version has been streamlined. It allows you to easily title, describe and tag your photos before you upload them. It works much better than version 2.

Maybe if I needed a quick crop and I was at home.
