Over the past week I’ve received a few inquiries from readers wondering whether I use Apple’s Aperture or Adobe’s Lightroom. The answer… I use Lightroom. The decision is rooted back when Aperture was first released and Adobe put Lightroom out as a Beta.

Today’s Bring Your Own Big Wheel event in San Francisco was in a different location than last years BYOBW on Lombard Street, but it was just as fun. The crowd is always a blast to photograph. Below are a few favorites and more of my photos from the event can be seen in this Flash slideshow BYOBW Photo Highlights. Enjoy!

FlickrFan (see FlickrFan.org for product details) enables Flickr users with a MacMini connected to their TV to display photography from their Flickr Contacts.

Robert Scoble ran a quick demo and fielded questions about Flic

Self-admittedly I am a statistics junky. If I employ a service, I like to monitor the traffic and trends. I’ve done this since the day I launched my web site and I’ve done it for my Digital Railroad, Photoshelter, and PodBean (for my podcast) accounts as well. I’ve found some tools for Flickr but they’ve been pretty limited. I’ve regrettably been monitoring the numbers by memory. Today F
