It’s No Fun If Your Dead

The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) has launched its spring Road Safety & Loss Prevention campaign aimed directly at high school students. Using dark humor, www.nofunbeingdead.com talks directly to youth about the consequences of drinking and driving. With grad parties and warmer weather, our teens are put into situations that demand they make choices. The site includes audio segments from “Ask Death Radio Show”.

Support your teen and let them know about this website and that “It’s No Fun if Your Dead”.

There are prizes for youth who are residents of British Columbia.

Digital Photography Podcast

We bought our first mid-range digital camera a year ago and I’ve never been really happy with the image quality and ability to control how the image is being captured. I came across Tips from the Top Floor, a podcast and website that covers a multitude of topics in digital photography. It has been helpful for me as I transition from my Cannon SLR.

The podcast covers basic and advanced topics, has short tutorials on using Photoshop features and has regular interviews with photography professionals. The sound-seeing tours are also quite interesting. The website has a very active forum, with lots of memembers willing to help out. The weekly assignment is a big favourite.
