This has to be ancient, but…
One of my cousins sent this photo around to the family mailing list. It must be as old as the Internet — old enough to have lost its attribution — but what the heck.
The title of the photo is “Winner of this year’s ‘Not My Job Contest’“:

The image of elections
On Tuesday in America, take a (legal) photo of your polling place and contribute it to a public archive of images of democracy in action. That’s the Polling Place Photo Project. Jay Rosen has got a good post about it, as does William Drenttel. Something cool or even inspiring might emerge.
Yes, this could be done simply by agreeing on a unique tag at Flickr, but perhaps the organizers are reluctant to cast their lot with any one photo site. [Tags: elections democracy photos flickr]

Library porn
Gorgeous photos of libraries. You remember libraries, right? The place with all the books. You remember books, right? Paper? Atoms? Hell-o-o? Is this thing on?

Photo stories
Tabblo looks like an easy and attractive way to group photos into mini online albums. Ned Batchelder, who works there (and who I’ve known for a while), has an example of a format that tells a little story. And here’s an example of another format, although this one could use some annotation — what the heck is Ned doing at the White House? You can tag and comment. You can buy prints.
Tidepool provides a different way of stringing together photos. It’s more tag-based, with lots of options for how you want to sort and organize. (Flash demo here.) [Tags: tabblo tidepool ned_batchelder photos tagging everything_is_miscellaneous taxonomy]

American tollbooth
Since this seems to be Photo Day at Joho, here are two photos that are circulating through email. I know who I got the email from, but I don’t know where the photos came from:
Captions anyone? E.g.,
1. Debugging the highway’s the new packet collision detection module…
2. The Dept. of Homeland Security introduces the new “Double Quick”™ emergency evacuation procedure
3. Lube – not just to be taken internally any more – JiffyLube
