Boing Boing: Jim Leftwich’s tribute to Rosa Parks

Jim Leftwich says: "I’ve always been moved by Apple’s ad series using people of her stature and courage, and it inspired me to do a tribute to both her and Apple, using their new iPod ad style."

I’m as much for tribute as anyone else, but is this really neccesary? It seems to me as though there are better ways of paying tribute to someone who made history for standing up for what she believed in than placing them in an iPod commercial.  I think somebody’s missing the point. Of course, while we’re at it, why not the iHaveaDream ad with Martin Luther King Jr. listening to the latest Jay-Z track he just bought off iTunes.

So i’m just trying out the new Flock browser, that integrates blogging with RSS aggregation and Firefox, and it seems to work really well so far.  A few bugs it seems when i tried to add a new Collection, but other than that its neat. It also uses del.isio.us to manage favourites so i can use favourites across browsers (great for Mac -> Windows .. but more on that later.

It also has built-in Flickr functions, and I’m actually writing this post from within Flock. And i just dragged and drop the pics from the flickr bar on top to the editor box. Neat stuff. Check it out at Flock.com.

Below are some pics from this year’s Head of the Trent. Good times, and great weather for the second time in 4 years.
