  Dear Adobe, Why Don't You...

  A site created to bitch about Adobe products called Dear Adobe, is actually read and discussed by people who work at Adobe (reported at John Nack on Adobe). The Adobe VP Dave Story asked the site creator to make a top 25 list of complaints (here).

  How can you not listen to the people?

  Newspaper Escape Plan- Facebook Group

  Description reads:

  Escape from newspapers while you can! At this rate, everyone will be laid off. Did you leave on your own terms? Or did someone else make that decision for you? Were you "involuntarily separated?" Let's help each other get through this!

  Take your journalism skills to a new industry that appreciates and wants you. Post job listings, tips, resources and personal experiences. Rework that resume and cover letter. Get the skills you need. Try to stop reading Romenesko every day and let go of an industry that doesn't care about or deserve you.

  Journalism and the newspaper industry are two different things. We are still passionate about journalism and its role in our democracy. We can still do it in new and innovative ways. The newspaper industry is an abusive relationship. We keep getting beat up but we keep coming back because we love him. It's time to leave.

  Burnett and Jarecke in Beijing

  David Burnett and Kenneth Jarecke are shooting and blogging from the Olympics.

  Kenneth (here) and David (here).

  I found this little tidbit from Kenneth to be interesting:
  "... the people at Octagon (the sporting agency that represents Phelps) in my opinion really screwed up here. Not only did they try to sell the exclusive rights to pictures of Michael with all eight of his Beijing medals (rumor has it the highest offer was only $225,000, which I guess was not enough to tarnish the gold so no money changed hands), they really screwed the good people at VISA."

  The Wall Street Journal changes the name of it's photo blog from Big Picture to Photo Journal (here). Honestly I don't think the name change was necessary but obviously you people are in charge now. Feels good doesn't it.
