An interesting consideration of the value of analog photographic prints versus their digital counterparts from Rob Horning of Pop Matters:

I find digital-image frames strange and sad. Would you really stop to contemplate an image in a digital frame? Particularly one that will rotate new images into view like the billboards on bus shelters rotate ads? A certain contempt for memory seems to be built in to this technology. It encourages us to regard nothing framed as permanent, and by extension it prompts us to consider every impulse we might have to frame and preserve a particular image as provisional. The disregard for permanence embodied in such devices as this may establish a kind of material base for institutionalized forgetting.

Continuing an NYT theme: Stanley Fish lists his version of the 10 Best American Movies.  A noble effort full of holes as any such list is bound to be.  Maybe I'll give it a shot sometime this week.  Most glaring inclusion; Groundhog Day.
