Thought You Should See This: Will This Product Save Kodak? Unlikely
Promised as a “sporty camera that makes a big splash,” the “Easyshare Sport” Camera was one of the rather lackluster introductions from Kodak at this month’s Consumer Electronics Show. It must be a difficult time to be at the storied photography company, for whom the death bell has begun to…
Social sharing, via QR
This Sunday, The Washington Post did a twist on the old QR codes we’ve been putting in the paper. Instead of sending our weekend readers to more Web content or features from a quick QR scan, we sent them straight to a Facebook sharing link. The idea was to pick a story that we thought readers of the Sunday printed product would want to share in the moment. We used Eli Saslow’s piece on a Somali American man whose nephew joined the extremist al-Shabab group, and who now tries to keep others from the lure of jihad. Our logic in launching this was simple: It’s Sunday, we know you’re busy and might never get to your desktop computer to share this. But perhaps you’ve got your smartphone handy to scan a QR code.

Suburban Living - Give Up
Wesley Bunch writes me: “I’m just another white boy living in Norfolk, Virginia making music on my own dime trying to make dreams come true and stuff.” I’d add that he’s got a knack for pop hooks that skirt dangerously close to the line of ripping The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven”, which I suppose in a modern sense is skirting dangerously close to ripping Wild Nothing. But you know what? It’s really fucking good, and I can’t get enough. So compare at will - his tunes are gonna come up roses.
This song is the first single off an upcoming EP he plans to put out in 2012. Listen to a couple more of his tunes over on Bndcmp, and follow his news on Tumblr.
