April 28, 2006 Newsletter

This week I’ve added a couple articles on troubleshooting digital cameras along with a lengthy account of my journey with photography. I’ve also added a few new photos of frogs and water striders. Links to articles are below.

I implemented a new policy this week regarding using my images on MySpace.com. Because the site has had so many images being displayed on MySpace.com pages without credit and/or links, I have added a new feature that will stop most images from displaying on MySpace page. More details and the image that is displayed in place of the intended images is at myspace.shawnolson.net. Thanks to my friend Andrew Penry for helping implement the change.

Another change on the site is that I am further removing pages on this site that I have not authored. As stated in the past, I encourage authors on this site to move their content over to the Artistic Network.

I wanted to share an interesting link with everyone this week. There is a live broadcast of a family of bald eagles in British Columbia where you can watch the parents taking turns sitting on the eggs. If you get lucky, you may see the chicks hatch soon. Go to www.infotecbusinesssystems.com/wildlife to see the eagles.

Finally, for all the music fans in the Columbus, Ohio area… my friends in Philo have their headliner debut on May 20, 2006. Details and directions are here.
