My faithful hound Bodi. It may seem cruel to take him in the rain, but he would be devastated if I left him. If there is a chance to get wet, he is all about it.

What a photo! I would be too cold to even get out the camera. We need to know more! Who gets to go to Iceland and do this?!

Hi Peter, welcome to Cake! 😁 What an awesome first post. From line 1 of your post I thought "Ugh, it's way past time for me to focus on figuring this out. I know I should be using Spotify but for some reason I'm the only person on earth stuck on …

Thanks Badger and welcome to Cake! 😁

> Robin Griggs I checked out her portfolio on Google+. Fabulous. She was also featured in Shades of Color Magazine. https://shadesofcolormagazine.com/

Is that a Starbucks in China? Welcome to Cake, depewzhang. 🙂

There are so many good books pouring out! What is going on? I thought book reading was down?

Oy. Louis has given me courage to finally fess up. If I remember right, in 2008 Larry and Sergey were on the list of candidates to become TIME's men of the year. Google had been using SmugMug for years for password-protected galleries. I worked …

Now you've got me asking Google for pointers to inspiration. 🙂 I found some here: http://graphicdesignjunction.com/2014/07/motion-blur-photos-for-inspiration/

We have mute and ignore!

Welcome to Cake, Jefffryett. Cool hat. 😁 One thing that's not intuitive on Cake until you do it the first time and then you never forget, is link expansions. On most sites, when you paste in a link, once you hit the post button it expands so you …

Wait, I just posted a book yesterday authored by P.W. Singer. He wasn't on my radar until I heard an NPR Fresh Air episode with him about social media. I just bought the …

Oh, sorry. I posted that photo and didn't give credit to the source. Bad. https://www.androidcentral.com/pixel-2-portrait-mode-derp

Well, I like to shoot action of the kids and my shots are a lot less artistic than yours or Greg Goodman's, but I do get streaky backgrounds that I like:

There is a principle of user interface design which says you think you know how people will use your product but they will probably use it in ways you didn't expect. You have to figure out how to pave the cow trails (make it easier for them to use …

Fascinating, Nanohiccup (extra points for your user name 😁). That episode has 15 million views and 19,000 comments now! I wonder how many listened all the way through, probably a lot. Welcome to Cake, btw. 🙂

Hi jpop, welcome to Cake! 😁 These are great questions which never leave my mind from the moment my eyelids open 7 days a week. Your questions are so good and well thought through they deserve a very thoughtful response from me, so I'll have one for …

Karen, I remember meeting you at a Google+ long exposure photowalk where I brought my video camera and made a short video of how wonderful it was: https://youtu.be/DuYQwutQwI0 I remember thinking you were one of the most positive people I had …

I remember a shot from Greg Goodman (I don't know him but I remember the shot) I saw once upon a time that I loved. I remember wondering how he did it and thinking how mystical it was. I've wanted to try one like this myself.

This view?

HI Tobias and welcome to Cake! 😁 I have very mixed emotions about this, strange to say. One emotion is I'm sorry to see Google get caught up in this because I've always wanted to believe—and mostly have believed—that Google has some moral …

I love them Glenn, their red colour (I can spell like an Australian sometimes) is stunning. The only thing I don't completely love is that in this shot, unlike many that you're posted before, the light looks like its coming from a flash. Maybe …

So Joe, how would you frame your baby gazelle example? Wouldn't a lion say eating a baby gazelle is constructive and a gazelle say destructive so you come to the same conclusion?

Thank you Richard, and great post about the book in the other thread. We don't have a merge function yet or private messaging, but anyone can email me at chris at cake dot co.

When I read these about the prison systems in Northwestern Europe, I can't help but wonder how they would cope with the racial, social, and income differences we face in the U.S. I've read that 4% of Canada's population is indigenous people, but …
