'Bread & Breakfast'
It's summer in Europe and many Europeans are backpacking. I kinda underestimated the volume of backpackers when I decided not to make any reservation way ahead of schedule. So there I was dragging my luggage in the streets of Stockholm, without a definite place to stay. To the rescue is this newly established inn:

STF Vandrarhem Fridhemsplan
Adress :Sankt Eriksgatan 20
112 39 Stockholm
Telefon : +46 8 653 88 00
Telefax : +46 8 653 89 20
E-mail : info@fridhemsplan.se

Tip was given the good folks at Af Chapman, itself a very popular place among backpackers.

Following rules and breaking them
"Rules" in photography are meant to be broken. Here's a compilation of rules and tips as well as an encouragement to break them.

Canon EOS 300D (aka Digital Rebel) vs Nikon D70
I'm thinking of buying a digital SLR cam. It's been a while since I let go of my manual Nikon SLR. Prize-wise, Canon appears to be winning. On the geek side, Canon still wins, since it's got a hack already. Reviews: EOS 300D vs D70. Company blurbs: EOS 300D vs D70.

Ridiculous E-Mail Disclaimers
A friend of mine, who works for a media company, sends email with a footer. The footer is a disclaimer that's rather ridiculous. He can't help it because it's something that's attached automatically to his email everytime he fires one from his company computer. Here's a Slate piece analyzing the legalese of such ridiculous disclaimers. El Reg notes of the longest, the most PC, and the most incomprehensible of them.
