Alway learning

Apple's integration of podcasting with iTunes has brought a new dimension to my driving listening: education. Podcasts are audio blogs that automatically download to your iPod.

Amidst a sea of very bad podcasts are one or two gems. The best seem to be the short and regular. Like Tips from the Top Floor with its thrice weekly digital photography tips.

So as the thunderstorm rolled in tonight, instead of just sitting back to watch the show I dug out the camera with the intent of capturing lightning for the first time.

Sure it's not the best storm picture in the world. But it's my first and there'll be many more.

Now I need to find a show on window cleaning tips.
