blog/pb_logo.pngYes, the title is correct. I was beta testing a piece of Java software tonight and found a Java development system called Eclipse. Anyway, as I was downloading the software I was asked to choose a local mirror.

Nestled under “North America” was “Playboy Enterprises Inc.” No way. Couldn’t be.

Well, it is. The programmers over at PB donate server space and bandwidth for the Open Source community.

Alas, no free model pics.

Years ago I worked on an indie film called Veil, written and directed by Mark Seabrooks. Good guy, that Mark. Anyway, he hired a good cinematography crew although I was only friendly with the stedicam guy.

Where am I going with this? I was reading a recent issue of Audi Quarterly about a photographer and camera operator named Kurt Jones including a photo of he and his wife. He looked really familar so I punched up my address book. Yep, it’s that Kurt Jones from the shoot. Check out his site and look for the photo of the surfer and dolphin. It’s an example of being in the right place at the right time to catch something special.
