Though this post should probably rightfully be Kathryn's scoop, I'm gonna be first off the block.... to, um, scoop... (Mixed metaphors are my specialty.)
If you are looking for cleared UC Berkeley images for non-commercial use, check this new site. UC Berkeley Images: UC Berkeley Photos. What's interesting to me is the photographer's credits! I was surprised at how many of our fine colleagues working in other fields on campus have contributed to this nice catalog of pictures.
Very handy.

Interact 10 Ways
Okay, I've been finding all kinds of excuses not to post. I thought I’d be the first one in July but Calixto beat me to it. Since what I’m currently working on consumes my waking moments and prevents me from blogging, I’ll just share it.
While searching for inspiration on the web front for possible ways to engage our audiences. I came across this fun, visually experimental media site. Several design groups collaborated with Gettyone to create it. You’ll need some time. Each of the 10 pieces takes a minimum of a few minutes to experience. Let me know which one(s), if any, you like. And which one(s) kept your attention the longest! www.interact10ways.com

chats within blogs about new 3D mice
B: I just got a cool demo of something you should post on the design alliance site
it's a cool 3D mouse that is especially cool for using the new 3D features in Photoshop. The thing to post would be the idea that, increasingly, stock photography may become less useful to designers than stock 3D objects. There's so much free 3D stuff out there that it's practical start thinking in terms of 3D images rather than still images. For example...
...say you need a shot of a football. You look all over and find a lot of stock photos of footballs, but none of them quite match your design. Instead, you get get a stock 3D model of a football, and position it exactly the way you want it.

K: Does Getty One, et. al. have those 3D models you're talking about?
B: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/
that's just google. There are lots and lots of other stock model places
K: So the mouse lets you drag things around in a "3D" space? Instead of using clicks to switch dimensions?
B: In Photoshop now, you can bring a textured 3D object into a photoshop document. It sits in its own layer and you can rotate and move it in 3D space. This mouse thing that they gave me provides a VERY intuitive way of navigating 3D space and manipulating 3D objects.

K: Nice. Thanks!
Oh, how much is it?
B: (3dconnexion.com) // 59 bucks
K: Even nicer.
