From the I-Did-Not-Know-That Department: how to share private Flickr photos and sets with non-Flickr members. (Thanks to Steve Marshall, who picked up on my ignorance of this feature from The Talk Show.)

Vanity Fair Feature on ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ ★

Vanity Fair cover story by Jim Windolf on the upcoming fourth Indiana Jones movie. Don’t miss the web-only interviews with Spielberg and Lucas.

For the record: My money says it’s going to be, at the worst, as good as Temple of Doom or Last Crusade. (I can’t bring myself to hope that it’ll be as great as Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I consider one of the very best movies ever made, full stop.) The second Star Wars trilogy has spooked a bunch of people regarding this movie, but the Indy movies are at least as much Spielberg’s as Lucas’s, and if anything, more so. Spielberg and Lucas have very different weaknesses (sentimentality and woodenness, respectively) and balance each other almost perfectly.

Self-Publishing Is the New Blogging ★

Zeldman:

When you’ve flown that far from Gutenberg, the only place to travel is back.

Om Malik ★

Om Malik:

I had a heart attack on Dec. 28. I was able to walk into the hospital for treatment that night and have been recovering here ever since. With the support of my family and my team, I am on the road to a full recovery. I am going to be OK.

Best wishes to Om.
