Deadliest Fire in Australia's History

The state of Victoria in southern Australia has recently been hit with hundreds of bush fires during a record-breaking heatwave with temperatures well above 100°F (38°C).

Most of the fires appear to have been started by lightning, however a few appear to have been arson, and are currently under investigation. Entire towns are being declared crime scenes. Twenty-four fires… Continue

Jessica Alba in Elle Magazine



Elle Magazine's March 2009 feature of Jessica Alba evokes vintage Victoria's Secret catalogs. Proof that old is new again. You'd probably want to steer clear of the article, in which Jessi-ba talks about Cash Warren and losing the baby weight.…

The Obama Team, as Photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair Magazine



For Vanity Magazine's March 2009 issue, renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz captured our "kaleidoscopic army of policy aces, whiz kids, and veteran advisers, all focused on the long-haul, no-drama work to which Barack has called them."



Of the 14 photos of our country's executives, these two are my favorites:



THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM

Affordable Modern Art is Sold Hassle Free at 20x200.com

Though our appreciation for modern art runs deep, it's hard for us to find places to actually purchase these pieces for our home. Sure we could download something off the internet and print them away but we'd rather have high quality art from emerging artist that we can collect. Jen Bekman must have heard our cries because she's come up with a great website,… Continue

Cate Blanchett in Vanity Fair Magazine



The undeniable Cate Blanchett, captured by the one, the only, Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair's February 2009 issue. An astonishing talent, Blanchett is in my opinion, one of the greatest cinema sirens ever. I'll pretty much watch anything she does. By the way, go see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, you will be glad you did.



Cate is blessed with the distinguishable ability to… Continue

For the Love of Photography: JPG Magazine



I wish I'd known about JPG Magazine sooner. The online photography magazine, whose content consists solely of submissions from readers - is close to joining the fallen in the Publishing dead pool.



The e-magazine and its parent company 8020 Media was founded on a seed investment from Cnet founder Halsey Minor. Although the publication failed because of a doomed, antiquated business model (based on selling print ads, ughyee) and a clunky format (downloadable PDFs,… Continue

Anne Hathaway in Vogue



Apparently, Vogue loves Anne Hathaway. Granted, she sometimes calls to mind a girl Screech (with me, Grace?) but she sure looks great in couture, as demonstrated by the January 2009 issue of Vogue. The spread was photographed by Mario Testino, a favorite of Princes William and Harry.
