Flickr blog creative : Live Album

I’ve seen my share of creative Flickr uses – applications, groups, forums, comments, tutorials, and more.  But one of the most creative Flickr-related things that I know, remains to be Flickr’s own blog.  Every day they choose a theme and share inspirational images that suit that theme.  And given that they have plenty of images to choose from, as someone who tried a few “a thing every day” projects, I know how difficult it is.  And still they manage.  Some days it’s simpler, some days it’s not.  For yesterday, September 16, 2011, for example, the theme was Live Album.  Have a look at the images that they share and their blog post. That’s nothing short of awesome!

Pantone Inc and Open Source

I came across an interesting paragraph in Wikipedia page on Pantone Inc.

Pantone asserts that their lists of color numbers and pigment values are the intellectual property of Pantone and free use of the list is not allowed. This is frequently held as a reason why Pantone colors cannot be supported in Open Source software such as GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) and are not often found in low-cost software.
