5 for Friday

It Friday and time to catch up on some good sites.

1 - Do you take photos? Would you like some tips and tricks? Via email or RSS?
Check out Photojojo!

2 - Ever dreamed of hitchhiking around the USA? Yes, I know we focus on the blogosphere but in so doing we found (yes, somewhat late) a site that tracked the trip to all 50 states in the USA and they blogged about it on their way. Still good to go back and see what and how they did it. Check out Hitch 50!

3 - One of IBM's leaders in innovation, Irving Wladawsky-Berger, has his own blog and it is well worth spending some time with.

4 - How about stopping by a fellow Massachuesett's blogger:

I'm a 37 year-old hominid known to inhabit Westford, Massachusetts. I was born in Athens, Greece of American parents, and raised in Saugerties, New York. I am a 1991 graduate of Harvard College, with a degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics. I am a member of the American Philatelic Society, the American Topical Association, the United States Chess Federation, the Massachusetts Chess Association, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the American Homebrewers Association, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the ACM, the OASIS ODF TC, the OASIS ODF Adoption TC, INCITS V1 and a trained SkyWarn weather spotter. I work for IBM, as a performance architect, as well as on various ODF technical topics. In my free time I grow and eat berries. A lot of them.

Check out Rob Weir at An Antic Disposition.

5 - Finally for today (but only for today, as of course the trail goes on) Mark Healey's blog where you get a host of good stuff as well as links to other sites including

Jude Healey Photography My wife's gig

Jude and Mark The other side of this web

So have a good time cruising this Friday!
